Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on extracting chitin from shrimp shell powder using a specific bacteria, Paenibacillus jamilae, and making chitosan from it.
- The bacteria did not have chitinase but showed strong protease activity, with optimal conditions for deproteinization being pH 7.0, a shell concentration of 60 g/L, and an incubation period of 4 days.
- The resulting chitosan had a higher deacetylation degree and better antimicrobial and antioxidant properties compared to commercial chitosan, marking a significant finding in biological chitin extraction.
