EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CHITOSAN FROM SHRIMP WASTE FOR APPLICATION IN THE FEED INDUSTRY

Chitosan is an amino polysaccharide prepared by processing shrimp waste (shell) which involves partial deacetyla-tion of chitin. Chitosan, a versatile natural polysaccharide, the second most abundant natural polymer. Many biochemists have found that chitosan as biocompatible, biodegradable and non toxic which made wide applicability in conventional pharmaceutics as a potential formulation excipient. In the present research mainly focused on the extraction of chitosan which is suitable for the feed industry. The crude chitin was collected from exoskeleton of Shrimp waste which are then processed by different methods to obtain chitosan and it was analyzed for its physiochemical parameters.
