Comparison of the physicochemical, rheological, and morphologic properties of chitosan from four insects
Abstract
The present work aimed to compare the physicochemical, rheological, and morphologic properties of chitosan extracted from cicada slough, silkworm chrysalis, mealworm, grasshopper and shrimp shells. The physicochemical properties including solubility, fat binding capacity, water binding capacity, ash, viscosity average molecular weight and moisture content of them were determined. The characterization results showed that insect chitosan was quite different from shrimp shell chitosan including thermal stability, rheological characteristics and surface morphology. Crystallinity index values of chitosan from cicada slough, silkworm chrysalis, mealworm, grasshopper and shrimp shells were observed to be 64.8%, 32.9%, 51.9%, 50.1% and 49.1%, respectively. The crystallinity indices of shrimp shell, mealworm and grasshopper chitosan were very close to each other. Flow behavior revealed that chitosan from four insects exhibited the lower viscosity than shrimp shell chitosan. According to dynamic oscillatory analysis, insect chitosan revealed lower modulus values than shrimp shell chitosan. Each of them had a novel structure and different morphologic properties. These results will contribute to increasing potential application of insect chitosan in food and pharmaceutical industries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
