Conversion of Aquaculture Waste into Biomedical Wealth: Chitin and Chitosan Journey

Biowaste originating from aquaculture sector represents a potential feedstock to produce value-added substances and materials like chitin chitosan. They are the long chain polymers of N-acetylglucosamine with huge industrial biomedical significance. Chitin has been recognized as useful biomaterial for drug delivery neurological therapy. Similarly, chitosan oligosaccharide, short polymer derived chitin/chitosan, identified its applications, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer action. Chitosan nanoparticles also used extensively in applications. Here we have critically summarized various methods extraction chitin, chitosan, chitooligossacharides nanoparticle preparation their diverse
