This document discusses chitin, chitosan, and chitooligosaccharides derived from fishery waste. It begins by describing the different sources and structures of chitin. The document then outlines the processes for extracting and producing chitin, chitosan, and chitooligosaccharides from crustacean shells. These include demineralization, deproteinization, and deacetylation. The document discusses characterizing and analyzing these compounds and provides examples of their properties and applications as flocculants, fat binders, films, coatings, and antimicrobial agents.
