Evaluation of the functional properties of microcrystalline chitin from blue crab shells (Callinectes sapids)
Microcrystalline chitin, prepared from a laboratory extraction of crude chitin (poly-β (1->4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) was compared against microcrystalline cellulose to examine the potential use of cellulose-like biopolymers as functional additives for use in food formulations. Water and fat bind...
