Simultaneous Optimization of Deacetylation Degree and Molar Mass of Chitosan from Shrimp Waste
Shrimp waste is a valuable source for chitin extraction and consequently for chitosan preparation. In the process of obtaining chitosan, a determining step is the chitin deacetylation. The main characteristic of chitosan is the degree of deacetylation, which must be as high as possible. The molar ma...
