The use of chitosan to harvest microalgae is a strategic step that seeks to reach an
economically competitive price to recover lipids, proteins, and pigments. The aim of the …

Insects are mega-diverse species. Structurally, insects are composed of the polysaccharide
known as chitin and its deacetylated derivative, chitosan. Actually, exist few studies …

Insects are considered as alternative sources of chitosan; however, studies about the
functional film-forming properties of insect chitosan are scarce. Insect chitosan films were …

Chitin and its derivative, chitosan, have diverse applications in fields such as agriculture,
