The potential of insects as a recycling tool has recently attracted attention. In this study, chitin was extracted with 1 M HCl for 24 h at 20 °C, followed by 1 M NaOH for 5 h at 90 °C, and bleached with 2.5% v/v NaOCl for 2 h at 20 °C from Zophobas morio (ZM) insects fed citrus waste biomass (OP) or polystyrene foam (PS). The highest survival rate was found in the OP group. The properties of the resulting chitin material are reported, as well as the preparation of hydrogels using a DMAc/LiCl solvent. All chitins obtained were α-chitin. The degrees of deacetylation, crystallinity, molecular weight, and solubility in DMAc/LiCl were similar between the PS and biomass feeds, and they showed similar viscosities in the DMAc/LiCl solution. All hydrogels obtained had similar properties and viscoelastic behavior, indicating that the resultant chitins and their hydrogels from ZM were similar between those fed with citrus biomass and those fed with PS.
