Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Obtained from Shells of Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone)
The main source of commercial chitosan is the extensive deacetylation of its parent polymer chitin. It is present in green algae, the cell walls or fungi and in the exoskeleton of crustaceans. A novel procedure for preparing chitosan from shrimp shells was developed. The procedure involves two 10-minutes bleaching steps with ethanol after the usual demineralization and deproteinization processe...
متن کاملEnzyme assisted extraction of chitin from shrimp shells (Litopenaeus vannamei)
8 BACKGROUND: Chemical chitin extraction generates large amounts of wastes and increases partial 9 deacetylation of the product. Therefore, the use of biological methods for chitin extraction is an 10 interesting alternative. The effects of process conditions on enzyme assisted extraction of chitin from 11 the shrimp shells in a systematic way were the focal points of this study. 12 RESULTS: De...
متن کاملDistribution of trace elements in tissues of shrimp species Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) from Bahia, Brazil.
In this study, concentrations of trace elements in tissues of shrimp species (Litopenaeus vannamei) from farming and zone natural coastal located in the northeastern Brazil were investigated. The elements determination was performed by optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP OES). The following ranges of concentrations in the tissues were obtained in µg g-1 dry weight...
متن کاملCulturable fungal diversity of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei boone from breeding farms in brazil
Litopenaeus vannamei, which is the most common shrimp species cultivated in the northeast of Brazil, is very susceptible to microbial diseases, and this consequently affects productivity. There are reports of bacteria, viruses and protozoa in these shrimp, but not fungi. This study aims to isolate and identify fungi present in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, and in their nursery waters, at two bre...
متن کاملEffect of PSP toxins in white leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931.
Cultured shrimp are often exposed to different toxic products during rearing practices that may affect survival and quality of the product. An evaluation of the effects of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP) from species of Gymnodinium catenatum in white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) has been carried out in this study. Death was observed at doses > 5.0 MU (equivalent to 1.1 mug/g of STX), whil...
