“…Chemical and microwave approaches were used to obtain chitin and chitosan from Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeusvannamei garbage. The study found that a particle size of 32 mesh and six 5-min pulses were successful in deacetylation with a degree of 92 percent and a chitosan yield of 52.2 percent [102][103][104]. According to Elieh-Ali-Komi et al [69], the exoskeleton of crustaceans posses varying degrees of chitin, protein, calcium carbonate, phosphate, lipid and ash; however, the proportion of these parameters differ with species (Table 1).…”

Chitin was first discovered by its name from the Greek word "chiton", which means "mail coat". It is indeed a polysaccharide made up of naturally occurring acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers. Hatchett was the first researcher who extracted chitin from the shells of mollusks (crabs and lobsters), prawns, and crayfish in 1799. Later in 1811, Henri Braconnot discovered chitin in the cell walls of mushrooms and called it "fungine". Chitin and chitosan are abundant in the biosphere as essential components of many organisms' exoskeletons and as by-products of the global seafood industry. The biopolymer must be deacetylated before chitosan can be produced. It can also be extracted using microbes in a biological extraction procedure. The development of products that take advantage of the bioactivities of the existing primary commercial source of chitin (crustacean) has lagged expectations. Also, the disadvantages of the present commercial source such as seasonality and competition for other uses among others has been one of the driving forces towards seeking alternative sources of chitin and chitosan in nature. This review highlights some of the efforts made by environmental scholars to locate possible commercial sources of chitin and chitosan in nature over time.

“…It is noteworthy that all these steps are directly related to the physicochemical properties of the chitin obtained [44,45]. The source for chitin extraction is subjected to washing, drying, and grinding of powder particles [46]. This type of conventional extraction can cause problems in the disposal of waste generated, which is necessary for the neutralization and detoxification of wastewater [47].…”

Chitosan is a cationic polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin, found abundantly in crustacean, insect, arthropod exoskeletons, and molluscs. The process of obtaining chitin by the chemical extraction method comprises the steps of deproteinization, demineralization, and discoloration. To obtain chitosan, the deacetylation of chitin is necessary. These polymers can also be extracted through the biological extraction method involving the use of microorganisms. Chitosan has biodegradable and biocompatible properties, being applied in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, biomedical, chemical, and textile industries. Chitosan and its derivatives may be used in the form of gels, beads, membranes, films, and sponges, depending on their application. Polymer blending can also be performed to improve the mechanical properties of the bioproduct. This review aims to provide the latest information on existing methods for chitin and chitosan recovery from marine waste as well as their applications.

“…These organisms produce about 100 billion tons of chitin each year [ 89 ]. The chemical structure of chitin, reported in Figure 5 , is different from that of other sugars, since it is characterized by the presence of nitrogen [ 90 ]. It appears as a yellowish powder, with a high molecular weight, insoluble in water and organic solvents, composed of N-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose units joined together by glycosidic bonds β, forming a linear chain with some of the deacetylated monomer units ( Figure 5 ) [ 91 , 92 ].…”

Fish waste is attracting growing interest as a new raw material for biopolymer production in different application fields, mainly in food packaging, with significant economic and environmental advantages. This review paper summarizes the recent advances in the valorization of fish waste for the preparation of biopolymers for food packaging applications. The issues related to fishery industry waste and fish by-catch and the potential for re-using these by-products in a circular economy approach have been presented in detail. Then, all the biopolymer typologies derived from fish waste with potential applications in food packaging, such as muscle proteins, collagen, gelatin, chitin/chitosan, have been described. For each of them, the recent applications in food packaging, in the last five years, have been overviewed with an emphasis on smart packaging applications. Despite the huge industrial potential of fish industry by-products, most of the reviewed applications are still at lab-scale. Therefore, the technological challenges for a reliable exploitation and recovery of several potentially valuable molecules and the strategies to improve the barrier, mechanical and thermal performance of each kind of biopolymer have been analyzed.
