Enhancement of degree of deacetylation of chitin in chitosan production
Chitosan is made from crustacean shells by a chemical process involving demineralization, deproteinization, decolorization, and deacetylation. The process of deacetylation involves the removal of acetyl groups from the molecular chain of chitin, leaving behind a complete amino group (-NH) and chitos...
