JBJoseph BrehmCardiff University RLRichard LewisCardiff University ASAlan Francis Scott

Key Points

The aim is to find efficient methods for converting chitin into valuable chemicals.
Chemo-enzymatic process
One-pot reactions
Utilized β-Chitin as a starting material
Depolymerization method effectively converts chitin
Potential for economically viable pathways
Reduction in reliance on fossil carbon sources

Abstract

Decreasing our reliance on fossil carbon requires economically viable and scalable pathways to utilize sustainable sources, such as chitin. Current methods for converting chitin to high-value chemicals require treatment with...
