Optimisation of extraction method to obtain chitosan from squid pen
The shell or skeleton of the crustaceans were made of 30–40% protein, 30–50% calcium carbonate, and 20–30% chitin. Chitosan which is derived from the chitin is a linear polymer of α (1→4)-linked 2-amino-2-deoxy- β-D-glucopyranose. Chitosan has many potential applications due to its chemical and biol...
