“…This is a comparable level to other organic fertilizers such as dried blood, bone meal, and hoof and horn meal [182]. While chitin has a high thermal and chemical stability [181], making it possible to store dry product for a good length of time, it can quickly be utilized as both a nitrogen source and energy source by plants and microbes when added to crops. Plants can access the nitrogen in chitin via microbial breakdown and the release of inorganic nitrogen, or directly taking up monomers as organic nitrogen [183,184].…”

Abstract:In recent decades, a greater knowledge of chitin chemistry, and the increased availability of chitin-containing waste materials from the seafood industry, have led to the testing and development of chitin-containing products for a wide variety of applications in the agriculture industry. A number of modes of action have been proposed for how chitin and its derivatives can improve crop yield. In addition to direct effects on plant nutrition and plant growth stimulation, chitin-derived products have also been shown to be toxic to plant pests and pathogens, induce plant defenses and stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microbes. A repeating theme of the published studies is that chitin-based treatments augment and amplify the action of beneficial chitinolytic microbes. This article reviews the evidence for claims that chitin-based products can improve crop yields and the current understanding of the modes of action with a focus on plant-microbe interactions.

“…The XRD pattern of chitosan exhibits broad diffraction peaks at 2q = 18º and 35º which are typical finger printsof semi semi-crystalline chitosan [17] . Yen and Mau, et al, 2007 [18] found that fungal ghitosan showed two crystalline reflections at 9.7º and 19.9º. Prashanth et al, 2002 [19] found that the WAXD patterns of shrimp chitosan showed two major characteristic peaks at 2q = 9.9-10.7º and 19.8-20.7º.…”

Abstract:In this present study, the drinking water is stored in nano coated pottery was produced by using chitosan nano particles prepared from marine crab shells. It is an alternative method for physical and chemical water treatment. In this experiment the low cost, non-toxic and pollution free chitosan nano particles was prepared in laboratory level then it was integrated into existing traditional water storage pot system and through which indicator organism Escherichia coli number was reduced effectively. The presence of nano sized particles in the prepared samples and capacity of integration and elution of nano particles in the pot systems were determined by XRD and AFMN and N2 compound elementary analysis method respectively. The result from this experiment showed that compared with control pot system the chitosan coated pot has more potential for reducing indicator microorganisms Escherichia coli in the water sample. Also, it was concluded that this low cost and pollution free technology is suitable for purification of contaminated water sample in rural as well as urban areas. However it has some limitations that will be overcome by further research.

“…Se destaca por sus características organolépticas, contiene el doble de proteínas que los vegetales y según Chimara (1993), tiene un componente conocido como lentinan; que ha demostrado ser un agente anti-infeccioso y anti-cancerígeno. Además, presenta glicemia, vitaminas esenciales como B1, B2, B6, B12, riboflavina, niacina, hierro y minerales que son activadores del sistema inmune y reducen el colesterol (Curvetto et al, 2002;Yen et al, 2007;Martínez et al, 2012;Suárez y Jeannette, 2013).…”

El cultivo de hongos comestibles es una alternativa importante para satisfacer las necesidades alimenticias de la población, desarrollo agrícola y formación de agroindustrias en muchos lugares del mundo. Dentro de los hongos comestibles, el Shiitake posee propiedades alimenticias y medicinales importantes para la industria al utilizar los residuos agrícolas y forestales como sustrato para su producción. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las fórmulas C-Agro1, 2 y 3 en la producción del hongo Shiitake, utilizando la cepa CP-CA1 de Lentinula edodes (Pegler) en bloques sintéticos, conformados por residuos agroforestales de la Sierra Norte del estado de Puebla, como es el aserrín de encino (Quercus sp.), restos de tallos y hojas (rastrojo) así mismo, olote triturado de maíz (Zea mays). La cepa CP-CA1 demostró un adecuado crecimiento miceliar sobre los bloques sintéticos, con una tasa de producción de 0.38, 0.33 y 0.31% para C-Agro1, 2 y 3 respectivamente. La mayor ef iciencia biológica (EB) se obtuvo en la en la formula C-Agro2 a los 265 días de producción, con 100.50%. La presencia de cuerpos fructíferos fue de 85% de forma regular y con un peso aproximado entre 40 a 70 g por unidad. Los resultados demostraron la factibilidad de cultivar la cepa CP-CA1 de Lentinula edodes sobre residuos agroforestales de la sierra norte del estado de Puebla.
