General Protocol to Obtain D‐Glucosamine from Biomass Residues: Shrimp Shells, Cicada Sloughs and Cockroaches

Abstract A general protocol is developed to obtain D‐glucosamine from three widely available biomass residues: shrimp shells, cicada sloughs, and cockroaches. The protocol includes three steps: (1) demineralization, (2) deproteinization, and (3) chitin hydrolysis. This simple, general protocol opens...
