La déprotéination de la chitine consiste à solubiliser les protéines présentes dans la matrice de chitine dans une solution aqueuse. Elle peut être effectuée de façon douce ou sévère. Les méthodes douces utilisent des enzymes qui dégradent les protéines en peptides solubles dans l'eau. Ces méthodes sont peu couteuses, mais ne permettent pas l'élimination complète des protéines. L'emploi de soude à température élevée est généralement utilisé pour solubiliser une plus grande partie des protéines. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9prot%C3%A9inisation
