Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta) (2015, background): “The decomposition temperature of chitin has been determined to be between 300 and 400°C [45,47].”
Poriferan Chitin as a Versatile Template for Extreme Biomimetics (2015, unknown): “Thermal methods, such as thermogravimetry (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) are powerful thermal techniques for analysis of the thermal stability of various materials (natural and synthetic polymers [127], inorganic compounds as well as organic co”
Comparison of physicochemical properties of chitins isolated from an insect (Melolontha melolontha) and a crustacean species (Oniscus asellus) (2014, unknown): “DTGmax values observed between 350 and 380 C in other studies resembled our values (380–387 C) (Kittur et al. 2002; Paulino et al. 2006; Sajomsang and Gonil 2010; Wang et al. 2013).”
Kinetics of the adsorption of reactive dyes by chitin (2006, background): “Chitin is a natural polysaccharide found particularly in the shells of crustaceans such as crab and shrimp, the cuticles of insects, and the cell walls of fungi [22].”
