Organic and mineral acid demineralizations: effects on crangon and Liocarcinus vernalis – sourced biopolymer yield and properties
Chitin is chemically extracted from crustacean shells whose composition and structure differ from one another. It is reported that mineral acids distort chitin's physiochemical properties compared to organic acids. Investigations on the effectiveness of these acids on chitin isolation from crab...
