Abstract

The focus of this research is to study thermal and morphological characteristics of chitosan isolated from banana shrimp shells (Penaeus merguiensis de Man). The production of chitosan was started by isolation of chitin via deproteinization, demineralization, and decolorization processes. Chitin was converted to chitosan by deacetylation process. The characteristics of chitosan produced were compared to the standard chitosan by characterizations using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The yields of chitin and chitosan obtained were 19.80 and 72.72%, respectively. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan was determined by using FTIR spectroscopy, and the results obtained are 55.34 and 59.22%, for isolated and standard chitosan, respectively. The isolated chitosan was found to have exothermic temperature peak of 307.65°C, while standard chitosan has a peak temperature of 295.50°C. Based on SEM images, a smooth and homogeneous structure was found on the surface of the isolated chitosan and the amorphous sphere structure was observed in the standard chitosan. Characteristics of the chitosan isolated from banana shrimp shells suggest that this product has a potential to be converted into nano chitosan which is useful for biomedical purposes.
