Consequences of chemical deacetylation on physicochemical, structural and functional characteristics of chitosan extracted from deep-sea mud shrimp

Extraction of chitosan from deep-sea mud shrimp (Solenocera hextii) shell waste was conducted using a chemical method by altering the deacetylation times. The degree of deacetylation of extracted chitosan were 75.5 ± 0.36, 85 ± 0.38 and 87± 0.32 %, and the molecular weights were 263.95±1.16, 52.61±...
