Biomaterials of Marine Crustaceans – Prospects and Perspectives
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Food processing produces large quantities of by-products. Disposal of waste can lead to environmental and human health problems, yet often they can be turned into high value, useful products. Crustacean shell wastes from shrimp, crab, lobster, and krill contain large amounts of chitin, a polysaccharide that may be extracted after deproteinisation and demineralization of the exoskeletons .crustacean shellfish wastes its derivatives, have many biological activities (e.g., anti-cancer, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing) and can be used in various applications (e.g., medical, cosmetic, food, and textiles).This study explored various possible industrial applications of biomaterials available from Marine crustaceans. Biomaterial such as hemolymph and chitosan made from shell waste of Scylla serrata( mud crab) is been analysed for its potential antimicrobial ,anti-cancerous, and nanoparticle producing properties.
