Improvement of chitosan production from Persian Gulf shrimp waste by response surface methodology

Chitosan is a water soluble polysaccharide that was extracted from the wastes of Persian Gulf shrimp. It has been a big challenge for the scientists to find different biological, mechanical, physical, enzymatic and microbial procedures to extract edible chitosan. In this study chitosan (isolated from waste of species of Indian white shrimp) with high functionality was produced using mild conditions (temperature (60, 80 and 100 °C), concentration...
