Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta)
(Korean Soc Biotechnology & Bioengineering, 2015)
This study examined two gregarious Orthoptera species (Calliptamus barbarus and Oedaleus decorus) as potential sources of chitin. The chitin content of the dry weight of C. barbarus was 20.5 +/- 0.7%, and it was 16.5 +/- ...
New chitin, chitosan, and O-carboxymethyl chitosan sources from resting eggs of Daphnia longispina (Crustacea); with physicochemical characterization, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities
(Korean Soc Biotechnology & Bioengineering, 2014)
The paper describes the isolation and characterization of chitin and chitosan from Daphnia longispina resting eggs harvested from a reservoir. Resting eggs are fertilized eggs that are encased in chitinous shells called ...
Physicochemical characterization of chitin and chitosan obtained from resting eggs of ceriodaphnia quadrangula (branchiopoda: Cladocera: daphniidae)
(Crustacean SOC, 2014)
Chitin and chitosan were produced from the structures of the resting eggs of Ceriodaphnia quadrangula (Muller, 1785), of which tons are naturally produced in a dammed lake. On a dry weight basis, 16-17% chitin and 11% ...
Porous and nanofiber alpha-chitosan obtained from blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) tested for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities
(Elsevier, 2016)
Chitin was isolated using the classical chemical method from the shell of Callinectes sapidus. The chitin content in the dry weight of the crab shells was determined as 12.1%. Total chitosan yield was recorded as 76%. The ...
