What is Chitin and Chitosan from Marine Sources about?

This chapter discusses the isolation and characterization of chitin and chitosan derived from marine sources, focusing on their production processes and physicochemical properties. Chitin and chitosan are primarily extracted from the shells of crustaceans and squid, with the production process involving demineralization, deproteination, and deacetylation. The chapter also highlights the importance of molecular weight and degree of deacetylation in determining the applications of these biopolymers.
