The extraction of chitin, chitson and glucosamine from shrimp, crab and lobster wastes in Iran, an overview

摘要

In areas where their consumption is high, such as Mexico and the southern states of the U.S., disposal of the solid waste, consisting of shells, legs and heads, is a serious environmental problem. Much of it ends up in landfills because it degrades slowly.
