چکیده
Chitin the second most abundant after cellulose biopolymer found in nature after, is produced by many living organisms, and is present usually in a complex with other polysaccharides and proteins. Chitin was found as a major component in arthropods (insects, crustaceans, arachnids and myriapods), nematodes, algae and fungi. In this study Chitin was isolated from various species (crab, squilla, and shrimp) from the local sources and the functional properties of chitin were studied by Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Peak Fit version was used for data acquisition and handling

Identification and Isolation of Chitin and Chitosan from Cuttle Bone of Sepia prashadi Winckworth, 1936
The potential of chitin and its derivatives mainly chitosan extends to various existing and proposed applications in an unusually large number of fields. In the present study, the prospect for using the exoskeleton of cephalopods as a raw material for chitosan manufacture was tried out. This includes the extraction of chitin from the cuttlebone (by deproteinization and demineralization) and chi...

Acid-soluble collagen could be isolated from fish skin using acetic acid. In recent years, much attention has been paid to collagen from marine sources, mainly arising from the fact that there is no risk of contagious diseases. Moreover, by processing the fish, significant amounts of waste materials are produced which can be considered as a substitute for these collagen sources. Thunnus tonggol...

متن کاملPhysicochemical Characterization and the Comparison of Chitin and Chitin Modified with Maleic Anhydride
Firstly, chitin was modified via ring-opening reaction with maleic anhydride in lithium chloride/ N,N-dimethylacetamide. Then, both chitin and chitin modified with maleic anhydride (CMA) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thermogravimetric analysi...
