Extraction of Chitosan from <i>L. squarrosulus</i> (Mushroom) and <i>C. africana</i> (Shrimp) Based and Production of Film Polymer

O.B. Ovonramwen,
E.I. Amoren

Abstract: The deacetylated form of chitin presents enormous areas of application. The research work was aimed at the production of polymer film  by the extraction of chitosan from Lentinus squarrosulus (mushroom) and Caridina africana (shrimp) using a chemical process involving  deproteinisation, demineralisation, and deacetylation. The two samples were thoroughly washed with distilled water to remove  impurities, then dried at room temperature for three days. The mushroom was grounded to powder, deproteinised at varyin… Show more
