N - acetyl - D - glucosamine and process for the production of N - acetyl - D - glucosamine

摘要

"N - acetyl - D - glucosamine and process for the production of N - acetyl - D - glucosamine.The present invention is directed to N - acetyl - D - glucosamine obtained from microbial biomass, and to processes for obtaining N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from microbial biomass.In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of biomass of fungi to the creation of N - acetyl - D - glucosamine.The N - acetyl - D - glucosamine is efficiently obtained in high purity by degradation of chitin in the biomass of fungi to create N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
