Coagulation with Chitosan-An Aid to Recovery of By-products from Egg Breaking Wastes
نویسنده
چکیده
Egg breaking wastes were treated with 1W200 mg./l. chitosan, a by-product /derived from shrimp and crab shells, and 2-20 mg./l. Betz 1130. Suspended solids in the .I wastewater were reduced by 70-90% and the COD by 55-75%. The yield of dry coagulated solids from wastes collected during cleanup was approximately 12 lb./IOKl gal., and from the concentrated wastes in the egg washers, the yield was approximately 40 lb./1000 gal. The estimated polymer cost for coagulation of the egg washer wastes was $0.80/1000 gal. The amino acid composition of five samples of coagulated egg by-products approximated closely the composition of whole eggs. The value of the coagulated solids and the savings in waste treatment charges may encourage segregation and treatment of concentrated egg breaking wastes. :j

Recovery and nutritional evaluation of proteinaceous solids separated from whey by coagulation with chitosan.
Chitosan, a cationic carbohydrate polymer manufactured from chitin in shrimp and crab wastes, coagulated suspended solids in cheese whey as effectively or more so than ten commercial synthetic polymers. Concentrations of suspended solids after settling were reduced over 90% by coagulation at pH 6.0 with a ratio of chitosan to suspended solids of 2.15% (1:46.5). The yield of coagulated solids wa...

Background: The production of waste pollutants has become a major problem for many food and oil industries. However, oil wastes can provide alternative substrates for industry, which could help to solve environmental pollution problems. Furthermore, oil wastes can be used as substrates to produce unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for health. Objectives: The production of fatty acids ...
