Extraction and characterization of chitin from granary weevil, Sitophilus granaries L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Arthropods, 2022 Insect chitin has been extracted from granary weevil - Sitophilus granarius L, commonly called wheat weevil in laboratory by treating it with 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH. This was followed by decolorization. The yield of chitin from this species is 20.2%.

Structural basis for directional chitin biosynthesis
Nature, 2022 Chitin, the most abundant aminopolysaccharide in nature, is an extracellular polymer consisting of N -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units 1 . The key reactions of chitin biosynthesis are catalysed by chitin synthase 2 – 4 , a membrane-integrated ...

Chitin, Chitosan, and Nanochitin: Extraction, Synthesis, and Applications
Polymers, 2022 Crustacean shells are a sustainable source of chitin. Extracting chitin from crustacean shells is ongoing research, much of which is devoted to devising a sustainable process that yields high-quality chitin with minimal waste.

A study on structural comparisons of α-chitin extracted from marine crustacean shell waste
Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021 In the present study, chitin was extracted from marine crustacean shell waste (shrimp, crab, squilla and lobster) using traditional chemical methods (deproteinisation and demineralization) and its physicochemical and structural properties were ...

Effects of Ball Milling, Ultrosonic or Hydrochloric Acid Treatment on the Microstructure and Enzymatic Deacetylation Efficiency of Chitin [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide on Earth, which can be deacetylated to produce chitosan. However, due to the high crystallinity and poor solubility of chitin, its efficiency of enzymatic deacetylation is very low. To investigate
