Green and eco-friendly approaches for the extraction of chitin and chitosan: A review.
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2022Chitin is one of the most diverse and naturally occurring biopolymers, and it is mainly present in crustaceans, insects, and fungi. Chitosan is derived from chitin by deacetylation process. It is important to note that the conventional chemical method of

Patentology of chitinous biomaterials. Part I: Chitin
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2022Chitin as one of the fundamental structural biological materials widely occurring in broad diversity of uni- and multicellular organisms focuses attention of experts in biomedicine, materials science, and technology. We are the first to present a patentological overview of chitin as a renewable bioactive material that has stimulated the progress in ...

The polysaccharide chitin is found in nature as a major component of the organic fraction of several biocomposites in which an organic matrix is associated with an inorganic fraction. The relationship between the mineral phase and the organic phase implies a high level of molecular recognition.

Chitin dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and their mixed solvents in the presence of 5% LiCl was treated with acetic anhydride-pyridine, and the mixture solution was heated at 100 degrees C for 6 h to give a partially O-acetylated chitin gel. Chitin dissolved in these solvents in the presence of 5% LiCl was mixed with pyridine,
