Chitosan/Hydrophilic Plasticizer-Based Films: Preparation, Physicochemical and Antimicrobial Properties (2014, unknown): “[27] reported a nitrogen content of 6.”
New chitin, chitosan, and O-carboxymethyl chitosan sources from resting eggs of Daphnia longispina (Crustacea); with physicochemical characterization, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities (2014, background): “These peaks classically characterize chitosan and the two sharp peaks were also observed in some other studies on chitosan [2,6,54,56].”
Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta) (2015, background): “Some recent studies also reported similar crystalline peaks (at approximately 9, 19, 21, 22, 23 and 26) in the XRD measurements of α-chitin [15,17,40,49,50].”
Chitin and Chitosan: Production and Application of Versatile Biomedical Nanomaterials (2016, background): “The parallel arrangement of polymer chains in β-chitin allows for more flexibility than the antiparallel arrangement found in α-chitin, but the resultant polymer still has immense strength (49).”
Comparison of physicochemical properties of chitins isolated from an insect (Melolontha melolontha) and a crustacean species (Oniscus asellus) (2014, unknown): “Porous and nanofiber chitin structures, similar to those found in our study, were seen in chitins from crabs and prawns (Yen et al. 2009; Ifuku et al. 2010, 2011a).”
Bat guano as new and attractive chitin and chitosan source (2014, result): “Two peaks located at 10 and 20° on average have been observed from chitosans isolated from organisms such as shrimp, crab and insects, which is similar to the chitosan obtained from the bat guano in this study [41,42].”
Chitosan nanoparticles preparation and applications (2018, background): “Chitin is a homopolymer of β 1-4 linked N-acetyl D-glucosamine (Glc NAc; A unit) residues (Yen et al. 2009).”
Physicochemical characterization of chitosan extracted from Metapenaeus stebbingi shells (2011, background): “The prepared chitosan has two peaks at 2H = 20.2 and at 2H = 22.4, the latter peak is weaker than the first one, whereas, in the literature, many XRD patterns of chitosan have two characteristic peaks which are usually around 2H = 10 and 2H = 20 (Yen et al., 2009).”
Extraction and Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan from (Labeo rohit) Fish Scales (2014, methodology): “Data were collected at a scan rate of 1°/min with the scan angle from 2° to 40° Ming Tsung Yen et al. (2009).”
