Crabs Marine Waste—A Valuable Source of Chitosan: Tuning Chitosan Properties by Chitin Extraction Optimization

Chitin extraction from crab shells was studied experimentally and optimized aiming to obtain chitosan with predefined deacetylation degree and molecular mass. To find out the optimum operating conditions that ensure the obtaining of a chitosan with highest deacetylation degree and specific molecular...
