Acetylation, crystalline and morphological properties of structural polysaccharide from shrimp exoskeleton
The extraction of a structural polysaccharide, α-chitin, from shrimp exoskeleton via chemical means using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has been done. Concentrations of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 M for both HCl and NaOH were chosen to evaluate the acetylation degree (DA), crystalline str...
