Production and characterisation of chitosan from chitin of snail shells by sequential modification process

Presently, the snail shells produced wastes that are detrimental to clean immediate environment while over reliance on synthesized polymer are suicidal to environment because they are not degradable. Hence, biological production of polymer through shells of snail recycling will signal an ending to consequences associated with wastes and polymer synthesis. Therefore, the current study is targeted at chitosan extraction,...
