Preparation of Chitosan from Jazan Area Shrimp wastes and Investigation of Its Properties
Abstract
Chitosan was prepared from shrimp processing waste (shell) using the same chemical process as described for the other crustacean species with minor modification in the treatment condition. The physicochemical properties,
molecular weight (76 x 103g/mole), degree of deacetylation (61%), ash content as well as yield (15%) of prepared chitosan indicated that shrimp processing waste (shell) are a good source of chitosan. The water binding capacity (500%) and fat binding
capacity (396%) of prepared chitosan are good agreement with the commercial chitosan. FT-IR spectra gave characteristics bands of –NH2 at 3431cm-1 and carbonyl at 1661cm-1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns also indicated two
characteristics crystalline peaks approximately at 10° and 20° (2θ).The surface morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
