Abstract: Chitosan is produced by thermochemical alkaline deacetylation of chitin, but the process is usually environmentally problematic. In the present study, Illex argentinus squid pen chitin, after de-proteinization and demineralization, was pretreated with a compressional-puffing (CP)… read more here.
