La grande disponibilité des carapaces de crevettes et leur teneur élevée en chitine en font la source principale de ce produit. L'extraction de la chitine de la carapace nécessite au moins deux étapes distinctes lorsque l'on procède par méthode chimique : la déminéralisation en milieu acide et la déprotéination en milieu basique. 3, record 1, French, - extraction%20de%20chitine

La chitine est extraite de la carapace des crevettes principalement pour la transformer en chitosane. On retrouve aujourd'hui une multitude d'applications au chitosane dans plusieurs domaines. Il possède des propriétés antibactériennes et antifongiques pouvant être mises à profit tant en agriculture qu'en alimentation [...] Des films à base de chitosane peuvent être appliqués sur des aliments afin de préserver leur intégrité [...] La chitosane sert aussi d'immunostimulateur, d'agent antifongique et de chélateur de métaux [...], de gras et d'autres matières organiques [...] 3, record 1, French, - extraction%20de%20chitine
