摘要

The aim of this study was to evaluate the production of biological chitin through lactic acid fermentation (LAF) and solar-drying techniques. Shrimp wastes were pretreated by sonication and inoculated with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, fermentation was conducted for 144 h at 35 °C. The pH, sugar, and organic acid content were determined as LAF variables by HPLC. The resulting chitin was then solar-dried, and measurements were taken for extraction yield, moisture content, demineralization, and deproteinization. FT-IR analysis was used to examine the functional groups present in the resulted biopolymer. Chitin yields of 58.42 ± 2.44 and 61.94 ± 1.22% were obtained from non-sonicated and sonicated shrimp residues, respectively. FT-IR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic bands for α-chitin, indicating the feasibility of the eco-friendly methods for chitin extraction.
