Abstract:In this work, a chitosan sample with a high degree of deacetylation (DD >95%) obtained from freshwater shrimp shells was subjected to drying processes in an electric oven and by supercritical CO2. The results indicated that drying chitosan particles with supercritical CO2 resulted in a very significant increase in specific surface area and pore volume, and also increased the material's crystallinity index. This drying route led to a more than 10‐fold reduction in viscosimetric molecular weight (from 35.3 to 3.… Show more
“…In an earlier work [1] , when using reflux for 10 hours at 100 °C in 50% of NaOH solution, chitosan was obtained whose DD ranged between 95 and 97%. When performing the adaptation for this simplified method and stirring under room temperature, DD values obtained by 1 H NMR (Figure 4) located between 77 and 80% (Table 1) demonstrate the viability of this method when the DD range is suitable for the intended purpose of chitosan produced.…”

“…where K and α are constants for a given polymer-solvent system, which in the case of chitosan, varies according to the degree of acetylation (DA) [16] . Chitin extraction was confirmed by determining the rates of demineralization and deproteination, and the average degree of acetylation of chitosan was obtained by 1 H NMR, using a Bruker Avance III spectrometer and 9.4 Tesla, in the following experimental conditions: 400 MHz for hydrogen frequency (SWH), experimental temperature of 323 K, 16 scans (ns), wait time of 10 s (d1), acquisition time of 6.83 s (aq), and 65,536 data points (td). The %DA and %DD were calculated as described by Santos et al [20] .…”

The results indicated that the physical drying process may decisively affect the molar mass of the biopolymer, and the drying of chitosan with supercritical CO 2 (SAS) was reduced more than 10 times its molar mass (from 35.3 to 3.0 kDa).…”

“…As freshwater shrimp farming activity has expanded, it has become more important to characterize the waste and develop processes to exploit it as a resource, to prevent environmental problems and obtain high added value products such as chitosan. Following the earlier work of our group on the chemical extraction of chitin and chitosan production (Arantes et al, 2015) the present work proposes the use of a fermentation method for extracting chitin capable of replacing the traditionally used chemical method.…”

“…Chitin is 15-20% of the mass of the residue and can be converted to chitosan through deacetylation, which is the conversion of acetamide groups (-NHCOCH 3 ) to amino (-NH 2 ) groups (Tolaimate, Desbrieresb, Rhazia, & Alaguic, 2003). The development of optimized techniques from the preparation of shells, through chitin extraction to chitosan production aims to obtain chitosan with specific characteristics depending on the type of application, with emphasis on the degree of deacetylation and the molar mass of the biopolymer (Yue, Yao, & Wei, 2009;Arantes et al, 2015).…”
ABSTRACT. Freshwater shrimp shells from the shrimp farming activity in tanks, were processed for biological extraction of chitin, by fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from meat products, offering an advantageous demineralization and deproteination of the residue, replacing the chemically. Deproteination was obtained approximately 99% and demineralization of up to 87% using batch fermentations with a maximum of 72 hours and the use of simple strategies such as pH adjustment and reinoculation. The performance of chitin was about 40% greater than in the chemical extraction and the results indicate an interesting method in the process of production of chitosan, where the biopolymer chitin is precursor.Keywords: shrimp shells, chitosan, Lactobacillus plantarum, bioprocess.Otimização de fermentação lática para extração de quitina de resíduos de camarão de água doce RESUMO. Carapaças de camarão de água doce provenientes da atividade de carcinicultura em tanques foram processadas para extração biológica de quitina, por meio da fermentação com Lactobacillus plantarum isolado de produtos cárneos, oferecendo uma via vantajosa de desmineralização e de desproteinização do resíduo, em substituição à via química. Obteve-se desproteinização de cerca de 99% e desmineralização de até 87% por intermédio de fermentações em batelada com duração máxima de 72 horas e o uso de estratégias simples, como ajuste de pH e reinoculação. O rendimento de quitina foi cerca de 40% maior do que na extração química, e o conjunto dos resultados indica um método interessante no processo de produção de quitosana, em que o biopolímero quitina é precursor.Palavras-chave: carapaças de camarão, quitosana, Lactobacillus plantarum, bioprocesso.
Indiesem Aufsatz diskutieren wir die schnell wachsende Zahl an Literaturbeiträgen zu Chitosan-basierten porçsen Materialien, mit Schwerpunkt auf Gelierungsmechanismen, dreidimensionaler multiskaliger Strukturkontrolle sowie der mannigfaltigen chemischen Funktionalität, die mit anderen Biopolymeren nicht erreichbar ist. Die Eigenschaften unterscheiden sich von letzteren teils stark:v on überkritischg etrockneten, mesoporçsen Chitosan-Aerogelen bis hin zu äußerst leichten, gefriergetrockneten makroporçsen Gerüsten. Im Labormaßstab erreicht porçses Chitosan beeindruckende Eigenschaften, der hoch(meso)porçse Charakter verstärkt jedoch nicht nur die vorteilhafte Funktionalitätdes Chitosans,sondern auchseine Nachteile,was eine mçgliche Industrialisierung ernsthaft einschränkt. Zur Fçrderung des Technologietransfers diskutieren wir in kritischer Weise die praktische Umsetzbarkeit mçglicher Anwendungen von Chitosan-Aerogelen im Vergleich zu konventionellen und anderen biopolymerbasierten porçsen oder nichtporçsen Materialien.
