Chitosan Production from Lobster By-Products by estudofoco48 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This review discusses the sources and preparation methods of chitosan, primarily derived from chitin found in crustacean by-products, particularly lobsters. It compares chemical and biological methods of chitosan production, highlighting that chemical methods yield higher bioactivity due to lower molecular weight and higher deacetylation. The review concludes that lobster cephalothorax is a promising source for industrial chitosan production, and unconventional chemical methods may offer a more efficient st
