“…The dry weight (DW) basis of yield of chitin and chitosan extracted from various lepidopteran insects such as Bombyx mori , Ephestia kuehniella , Dendrolimus punctatus , Argynnis pandora , and Clanis bilineata were found to be 2.59–56%, 3.1–88.40%, 9.5–10.5%, 8–22% and 31.37–96.2% respectively ( Kaya, Bitim, Mujtaba, & Koyuncu, 2015 ; Luo et al, 2019 ; Mehranian et al, 2017 ; Paulino et al, 2006 ; S.; Wu, 2011 ; Xia et al, 2013 ).

“…It was reported that the chitin and chitosan contents of hymenopteran species such as honey bee, Apsis mellifera ( N. Marei, Elwahy, Salah, El Sherif, & Abd El-Samie, 2019 ; Nemtsev, Zueva, Khismatullin, Albulov, & Varlamov, 2004 ; Tsaneva et al, 2018 ) different varied from wasp species ( Kaya, Bağrıaçık, Seyyar, & Baran, 2015 ; Kaya et al, 2016 ) and Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris ( Majtán et al, 2007 ) ranged between 2.5 and 40%, 16–25% and 2.2–11.9% DW. Nevertheless, some species of housefly had low chitin including Musca domestica , black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens , and Chrysomya megacephala reported to be 8.02–5.87%, 3.1–23 and 32%, but Drosophila melanogaster , showed a low to high chitin yield of 7.85–70.91% ( Antonov, Ivanov, Pastukhova, & Bovykina, 2019 ; D'Hondt et al, 2020 ; Kaya et al, 2016 ; Kim et al, 2016 ; Purkayastha & Sarkar, 2020 ; C.; Song, Yu, Zhang, Yang, & Zhang, 2013 ). The yield of the chitin and chitosan from insects are similar to the chitin extracted from crustacean shell waste.…”

Background Insects are a living resource used for human nutrition, medicine, and industry. Several potential sources of proteins, peptides, and biopolymers, such as silk, chitin, and chitosan are utilized in industry and for biotechnology applications. Chitosan is an amino-polysaccharide derivative of chitin that consists of linear amino polysaccharides with d -glucosamine and N-acetyl- d -glucosamine units. Currently, the chief commercial sources of chitin and chitosan are crustacean shells that accumulate as a major waste product from the marine food industry. Existing chitin resources have some natural challenges, including insufficient supplies, seasonal availability, and environmental pollution. As an alternative, insects could be utilized as unconventional but feasible sources of chitin and chitosan. Scope and approach This review focuses on the recent sources of insect chitin and chitosan, particularly from the Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Dictyoptera, and Odonata orders. In addition, the extraction methods and physicochemical characteristics are discussed. Insect chitin and chitosan have numerous biological activities and could be used for food, biomedical, and industrial applications. Key findings and conclusions Recently, the invasive and harmful effects of insect species causing severe damage in agricultural crops has led to great economic losses globally. These dangerous species serve as potential sources of chitin and are underutilized worldwide. The conclusion of the present study provides better insight into the conversion of insect waste-derived chitin into value-added products as an alternative chitin source to address food security related challenges.

“…In most cases, the deacetylation step lasts from 1 to 9 h, with a few exceptions of longer incubation times of up to 2 days. 104,126 Temperatures of heterogeneous deacetylation of insect samples range from 90 to 150°C (Table 2). Ideally, deacetylation should result in nondegraded chitosan with a high degree of deacetylation, enabling its solubilization in dilute acidic solutions.…”

Chitin, and especially its deacetylated variant chitosan, has many applications, e.g. as carrier material for pharmaceutical drugs or as a flocculant in wastewater treatment. Despite its versatility and accessibility, chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on Earth, has so far been commercially extracted only from crustaceans and to a minor extent from fungi. Insects are a viable alternative source of chitin, but they have not been exploited in the past due to limited availability. Today however, for the sustainable production of animal feed, insect farming is being developed substantially. The availability of large quantities of insect biomass and chitin-rich side products such as exuviae and exoskeletons has been increasing. This review provides an overview of recently published studies of chitin extraction from insects, its subsequent conversion into chitosan and the primary analytical methods used to characterize insect-based chitin and chitosan. We have discovered a large number of research articles published over the past 20 years, confirming the increased attention being received by chitin and chitosan production from insects. Despite numerous publications, we identified several knowledge gaps, such as a lack of data concerning chitin purification degree and chitosan yield. Furthermore, analytical methods used to obtain physicochemical characteristics, structural information and chemical composition meet basic qualitative requirements but do not satisfy the need for a more quantitative evaluation. Despite the current shortcomings that need to be overcome, this review presents encouraging data on the use of insects as an alternative source of chitin and chitosan in the future.

“…Chitosan in Drosophila has been well studied. Drosophila has been utilized for both production of chitosan [14] and as an in vivo model to investigate the transport and uptake of nanoparticles covered with chitosan in the larval digestive tract after oral administration [15].…”

2Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph cells are confirmed as a model to study the activation 3 of immune system due to foreign stimuli like iron nanoparticles. The toxicity of nanoparticles 4 is a cause for concern due to their effect on human health and the environment. The aim of 5 this study was to detect the activation of cellular immune response in Drosophila larvae 6 through the observation of hemolymph composition, DNA damage and larval viability, after 7 the exposure to 500 ppm and 1000 ppm chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles for 24 hours. 8Our results showed activation of cellular immune response after exposure to the nanoparticles 9 owing to the increment of hemocytes, the emergence of lamellocytes and the presence of 10 apoptotic hemocytes. In addition, chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles produce DNA 11 damage detected by comet assay as well as low viability of larvae. No DNA damage is 12 showed at 500 ppm. The cellular toxicity is directly associated with 1000 ppm. 13 14 15 8 129 avoid biased determinations of the chemical compositions of the samples due to their 130inhomogeneity, we have averaged the spectra obtained from 25 points grid was averaged. 131The normalized weight average of each element and the standard deviation obtained by EDS 132 analysis are listed in Table 1. We found the organic elements that comes from chitosan, C, 133 N, and O. Chlorine comes from the inorganic salt precursors. Fe element comes from the 134 magnetite nanoparticles. Traces of Mg and S come from the extraction process.
