In this present study, chitin content of Daphnia magna resting egg (18-21%) was determined for the first time. FTIR, elemental analysis, TGA, XRD and SEM studies revealed the structural and thermal properties of extracted alpha-chitin. This study suggests that D. magna resting eggs can be exploited as an attractive alternative chitin source.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCrustaceanTGAFTIRXRDSEMArticle6145946410.1016/j.ijbiomac.2013.08.01623973492Q1WOS:000326660700067N/A
