Microbes for the Synthesis of Chitin from Shrimp Shell Wastes

  • Chapter

Application of Microbes in Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology

Part of the book series: Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology ((EMB))

Abstract

Shrimp meat is consumed globally on a large scale, and their processing releases a large amount of shell waste. The major constituents of shrimp shells are chitin, proteins, calcium carbonate, and lipids. To extract chitin from the shrimp shell, it has to undergo deproteination (DP) to remove the proteins and demineralization (DM) to separate the minerals. Traditionally shrimp shell wastes were dried and directly added as a fertilizer to soil or added in animal feed or dumped in landfills. In recent years, shrimp shell wastes are valorized for producing chitin, chitosan, and other beneficial products like protein hydrolysates, carotenoids, lactic acid, etc. Industries producing chitin are employing chemicals like hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide for demineralization and deproteination, respectively, and the residual water is dumped into the water bodies. Considering environmentally friendly approaches, the usage of microorganisms has been tried out for chitin extraction from the shrimp shell. The recent review highlights the production of chitin using microorganisms and mentions other recent greener approaches in chitin production.
