Nanoedible films for food packaging: a review (2019, methodology): “Chitin nanowhiskers can be extracted through a series of extraction methods and chemical treatments, such as acid hydrolysis [109–111], partial deacetylation [112, 113], ultrasonication [114, 115], mechanical treatment [116] and gelation treatment [117].”
Fabrication and characterization of cellulose nanofiber based thin-film nanofibrous composite membranes (2014, result): “It is worthwhile to note that with this approach, Isogai and his coworkers have successfully demonstrated the preparation and characterization of a wide variety of polysaccharides including wood and cotton cellulose [18,21,22], α and β-chitin [23–25], tunicin [18,26], regenerated cellulose [27], glu”
