Facile extraction of chitin and chitosan from shrimp shell

Abstract: In this study, the chitin and chitosan were extracted from shrimp shell through two-steps acid and alkaline treatment. The shrimp shell was deproteinized by 1 M of sodium hydroxide and demineralised by 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of hydrochloric acid, respectively. The produced chitin was characterized by FTIR and FESEM. FTIR depicted that the chitin extracted from shrimp shell was in a-chitin isomorph. The surface morphology of chitin was found to increase with an increase in acid concentration. The chitosan film w… Show more

“…The two critical steps were the deproteinization and demineralization. In this study, the removal of protein was carried out using sodium hydroxide prior to the demineralization to control the formation of foam during the treatment process and hence, could optimize the yield of chitin [ 49 ]. The demineralization step was successfully accomplished by treating the shrimp waste with 1.0 mol L − 1 hydrochloric acid solution to dissolve calcium carbonate and remove other organic matters.…”

“…Deproteinization started with 60 grams of shrimp shell powder dissolved in NaOH 1 M solution with the ratio of powder to solvent was 1 : 5 (w/v) for 20 hours at 28±2 °C. The mixture was filtered, the shrimp powder residue washed until pH 7, dried for 30 minutes at 60 °C and weighted [34] . The deproteinated powder was then demineralized using HCl 1 M solution with the ratio of powder to solvent at 1 : 5 (w/v) for 16 hours at 28±2 °C.…”

The mixture was filtered, the shrimp powder residue was washed until pH 7, dried for 30 minutes at 60 °C, and chitin was weighed [34] . The residue of chitin was dissolved in NaOH 50 % (w/v) with the ratio of powder to solvent at 1 : 10 (w/v) for 20 hours at a temperature of 60 °C to remove the acetyl group or deacetylation and produce chitosan.…”

“…It only partially dissolves in organic acids, although it dissolves in aqueous acids with a pH of less than 6.5 and is insoluble in sulfuric and phosphoric acids. 13,14 Chitosan has proved effective as a carrier system because of its biological characteristics and aqueous solubility. Moreover, it is hypothesized that a combination of mucoadhesion and impact on mucosal cell membrane tight junction regulation is the mechanism of action behind its excellent transdermal penetration enhancement capabilities.…”

“…Crab, shrimp, and lobster shells contain the natural polymer chitosan, which is produced when chitin is deacetylated. It only partially dissolves in organic acids, although it dissolves in aqueous acids with a pH of less than 6.5 and is insoluble in sulfuric and phosphoric acids 13,14 . Chitosan has proved effective as a carrier system because of its biological characteristics and aqueous solubility.…”
