A Review on - A Simple method for Extraction of Chitosanfrom Shrimp Shell Waste and Their Industrial & Biomedical Application

Chitin and chitosan are considerably adaptable and promising biomaterials. The deacetylated chitin derivative, chitosan is more useful and interesting bioactive polymer. Despite its biodegradability, it is many reactive amino side groups, which provide possibilities of chemical modifications, formation of huge sort of useful derivatives that are commercially obtainable or are often made available via graft reactions and ionic communication. Shell waste produced by the ocean food industry is one in all the foremost important problems causal significant environmental and health hazards. Chitosan was obtained from shrimp shell waste by deproteination, demineralization, decolourization and deacetylation processes. it had been characterized using FT-IR, SEM and XRD. The physiochemical parameters like moisture content, pH, viscosity, residue on ignition, degree of deacetylation and solubility was also analyzed. In plants, chitin and chitosan-based molecules are largely used as safe and environmental-friendly tools to ameliorate crop productively and conversation of agronomic commodities. This review supported extraction of high purity chitosan from shrimp shell waste and application various industrial and biomedical field and plant productivity.
