Chitin and chitosan from shellfish waste and their applications in agriculture and biotechnology industries

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 19

Опубликована: Март 16, 2025

A shellfish processing plant generates only 30–40% of edible meat, while 70–60% portions are considered inedible or by-products. This large amount byproduct waste contains 20–40% chitin, that can be extracted using chemical greener alternative extraction technologies. Chitin and its derivative (chitosan) natural polysaccharides with nontoxicity, biocompatible, biodegradable properties. Due to their versatile physicochemical, mechanical, various bioactivities, these compounds find applications in industries, including: biomedical, dental, cosmetics, food, textiles, agriculture, biotechnology. In the agricultural sector, have been reported promote: growth, defense system, slow release nutrients fertilizer, nutrition, remediate soil conditions, etc. Whereas, biotechnology indicated: enhanced enzyme stability efficacy, water purification remediation, application fuel cells supercapacitors for energy conversion, acting as a catalyst synthesis, review provides comprehensive discussion on utilization biopolymers agriculture (fertilizer, seed coating, treatment, bioremediation) (enzyme immobilization, wastewater synthesis). Additionally, techniques including conventional non-thermal reported. Lastly, concluding remarks future direction provided.
