Extraction and Physico–Chemical Characterization of Chitosan from Mantis Shrimp (<i>Oratosquilla nepa</i>) Shell and the Development of Bio-Composite Film with Agarose

Mantis shrimp (<i>Oratosquilla nepa</i>) exoskeleton, a leftover generated after processing, was used as a starting material for chitosan (CS) production. CS was extracted with different deacetylation times (2, 3 and 4 h), termed CS−2, CS−3 and CS−4, respectively, and their characteristi...
