Magnesium Oxide‐Catalyzed Conversion of Chitin to Lactic Acid
Abstract Although chitin, an N‐acetyl‐D‐glucosamine polysaccharide, can be converted to valuable products by means of homogeneous catalysis, most of the chitin generated by food processing is treated as industrial waste. Thus, a method for converting this abundant source of biomass to useful chemica...
