Rapid and efficient extraction of chitin and chitosan for scale-up production: Effect of process parameters on deacetylation degree and molecular weight

Chitin and chitosan have been successfully produced, from Moroccan shrimp shells, using the microwave technology. This efficient extraction method of chitin and chitosan was evaluated and demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation steps were investigated. The effect of the reaction time, t...
