Insects are considered as alternative sources of chitosan; however, studies about the
functional film-forming properties of insect chitosan are scarce. Insect chitosan films were�…

Edible insects have gained attention due to their impressive nutritional composition, as well
as their efficient use of natural resources. However, a research gap remains on the�…

The present work aimed to compare the physicochemical, rheological, and morphologic
properties of chitosan extracted from cicada slough, silkworm chrysalis, mealworm�…

Chitin was isolated from the larvae, adult, and superworm of Mealworm Beetle and the
larvae, pupa, and adult of Rhinoceros Beetle by deproteinization and demineralization�…

Simple Summary The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is a kind of insect
distributed worldwide. Commonly, it is considered as a pest. However, nowadays, it has�…

To obtain high-quality insect products, milling was used as a modification tool and its effect
on grasshopper chitin, chitosan and chitosan films was investigated. Three grasshopper�…

Chitins and chitosans obtained from larva and adult Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa
decemlineata) were physico-chemically characterized and differences between adults and�…

In previous studies, chitin-based films were produced from chitin nanofibers in dust form and
fully characterized. However, chitin films naturally present in many organisms have not been�…

This is the first study to explain the differences in the physicochemical properties of chitin
and chitosan obtained from the nymphs and adults of Dociostaurus maroccanus using the�…

Chitosan is an N-deacetylate derivative of chitin, which can be found in crustaceans, insects,
and fungi. In several studies, chitosan is pursued to be applied as an optional biopolymeric�…
