Preparation and Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan—A Review
Abstract
Various procedures for preparation of the biopolymers chitin and chitosan have been developed over the years. Preparation methodology and analysis of physicochemical properties of these biopolymers are reviewed in terms of crustacean species and diverse characterization methodology. Such properties influence biopolymer functionality differing with crustacean species and preparation methods. Monitoring of the relationship between process conditions and chitin/chitosan products is needed to insure uniformity and proper product quality control. Research with chitosan derived from crawfish processing operations indicates the need for a more integrated approach for total resource utilization. Examples of value-added processing by-products, coupled with chitosan recovery, are noted.

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.
