• Physicochemical, functional, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of chitosan extracted from shrimp wastes by microwave technique (2013, background): “Crustacean exoskeletons contain large amounts of calcium carbonate, depending on the source (Abdou et al., 2008).”
• Bat guano as new and attractive chitin and chitosan source (2014, background): “resting eggs in previous studies [11,13,21,24,38-40].”
• New chitin, chitosan, and O-carboxymethyl chitosan sources from resting eggs of Daphnia longispina (Crustacea); with physicochemical characterization, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities (2014, result): “In some studies on the thermal decomposition of chitosan, similar results were obtained in two steps and the DTGmax value was determined at approximately 300C [52,53].”
