Current state of chitin purification and chitosan production from insects
Abstract Chitin, and especially its deacetylated variant chitosan, has many applications, e.g. as carrier material for pharmaceutical drugs or as a flocculant in wastewater treatment. Despite its versatility and accessibility, chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide on Earth, has so far been commercially extracted only from crustaceans and to a

Oxidative stress and X-ray metal assessment in ovarian tissues of the beetle, Calosoma olivieri (Coleoptera, Carabidae) collected from Kafr El Zayat, Egypt [PDF]
X-ray analysis was applied to estimate the percentages of heavy metals in ovarian tissues of the beetle Calosoma olivieri. This research was performed to assess the influence of heavy metals on biochemicals in ovarian tissues in the ground beetle ...
