Overview

This study demonstrates the chitosan yields from Melanoplus differentialis, emphasizing NaOH concentration and deacetylation time.

Key Points

  • Optimal process conditions resulted in a chitosan yield of 60.62% from Melanoplus differentialis.
  • Statistical analysis identified NaOH concentration as the most significant factor for optimizing chitosan yield.
  • The study utilized Response Surface Methodology with a Box-Behnken design for effective optimization.
  • This research highlights Melanoplus differentialis as a promising alternative source for sustainable chitosan production.
