- A new method for making chitosan from chitin, obtained from mud crab shells, uses a solvent-free and mechanochemical process involving demineralization and deproteinization followed by deacetylation with sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
- Chitosan is isolated through grinding, washing, and centrifugation, and its formation is confirmed through various characterization techniques like infrared spectroscopy and microscopy.
- The method shows higher efficiency in deacetylation with a 1:1 weight ratio of NaOH to chitin and is more practical for industrial use compared to traditional methods, as it minimizes the breakdown of chitosan.
