Abstract

Prawn fisheries industry is a very commercially/economically important industry in India accounting for a large portion of the overall fisheries industry. The prawn processing industry produces a large amount of bio-waste which is a potential environmental pollutant. This waste consisting of carapace and shells can be converted into chitin and chitosan which are commercially viable substances with various bio-functionalities. In this experiment; Chitin and chitosan are extracted from the shells of Fenneropenaeus indicus and Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using the chemical method. Yield of chitin and chitosan is measured. Blood clotting activity is tested.
