“…Seafood is a major source of animal protein in many countries, however, besides the edible part, these raw materials have an inedible one [ 37 ]. A significant part of the environmental contamination is caused by the wastes from fishing industries, which triggers an environmental problem due to their unpleasant odor, attracting and stimulating the proliferation of insects.…”

Chitosan is a cationic polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin, found abundantly in crustacean, insect, arthropod exoskeletons, and molluscs. The process of obtaining chitin by the chemical extraction method comprises the steps of deproteinization, demineralization, and discoloration. To obtain chitosan, the deacetylation of chitin is necessary. These polymers can also be extracted through the biological extraction method involving the use of microorganisms. Chitosan has biodegradable and biocompatible properties, being applied in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, biomedical, chemical, and textile industries. Chitosan and its derivatives may be used in the form of gels, beads, membranes, films, and sponges, depending on their application. Polymer blending can also be performed to improve the mechanical properties of the bioproduct. This review aims to provide the latest information on existing methods for chitin and chitosan recovery from marine waste as well as their applications.

“…Further, ammonium‐based ILs including [DIPEA][Ac], [DIPEA][P], and [DMBA][Ac] were applied for the extraction of chitin from shrimp shells. The yield of moderate molecular weights chitin as high as 13.4% was obtained under the extraction conditions at 110 °C for 24 h. The low levels of ash, degree of deacetylation, and nitrogen content in the extracted samples explicitly indicated the efficient extraction of the compound from shrimp shells …”

The evolution of petroleum‐derived polymers is one of the crowning accomplishments of the past century. Although the significant economic gains from this industrial model of resource utilization are achieved, the environmental impacts are fatal. One of the principles of sustainable development is to replace such polymers with potential alternatives derived from renewable materials. Biopolymers derived from natural resources afford a new, versatile, environmentally benign feedstock that could exhibit closed‐loop life cycles as part of a future material's industrial ecology. However, the solubility and processability of biopolymer materials provoke a serious bottleneck owing to their dense networks of inter ‐ and intramolecular bondings and structural heterogeneity. Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as promising green solvents and acquired augmented appreciation for their peerless power of biopolymer processing. Among the fourteen principle of green chemistry, the two key elements encourage the exploitation of renewable raw materials by using environmentally benign solvents that cover in dissolution of biopolymers using ILs. This mini review represents a brief overview of the comprehensive ILs assisted extraction and processing of various biopolymeric materials for value‐added applications.

Drugs 2020, 18, 297; doi:10.3390/md18060297 www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs This most abundant aminopolysaccharide has been isolated and identified in skeletal structures of diverse species of fungi, algae and invertebrates (i.e., sponges, hydrozoans, mollusks, worms, insects, spiders and crustaceans) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Here, chitin is present in the form of biocomposites, being chemically bound to proteins, pigments and other polysaccharides, as well as mineral phases [13,14].…”

Electrochemical Approach for Isolation of Chitin from the Skeleton of the Black Coral Cirrhipathes sp. (Antipatharia)

The development of novel and effective methods for the isolation of chitin, which remains one of the fundamental aminopolysaccharides within skeletal structures of diverse marine invertebrates, is still relevant. In contrast to numerous studies on chitin extraction from crustaceans, mollusks and sponges, there are only a few reports concerning its isolation from corals, and especially black corals (Antipatharia). In this work, we report the stepwise isolation and identification of chitin from Cirrhipathes sp. (Antipatharia, Antipathidae) for the first time. The proposed method, aiming at the extraction of the chitinous scaffold from the skeleton of black coral species, combined a well-known chemical treatment with in situ electrolysis, using a concentrated Na2SO4 aqueous solution as the electrolyte. This novel method allows the isolation of α-chitin in the form of a microporous membrane-like material. Moreover, the extracted chitinous scaffold, with a well-preserved, unique pore distribution, has been extracted in an astoundingly short time (12 h) compared to the earlier reported attempts at chitin isolation from Antipatharia corals.
