MIT Sea Grant Report MITSG78-7 Index No. 78-307-Dmb INTRODUCTION Theobjective of the MITSea Grant Programand the Massachusetts Scienceand Technology Foundation in conveningthe First International Conferenceon Chitin/Chitosanwas to bri ng together those experts and researchers from around the world who are working to expand the uses of this exciting, abundant,renewable natural resource. By providing a forum, we hopedto encouragethe businessand scientific communities to share insights and experiences,to stimulate newideas, and to identify researchthat wouldadvance the applicationof chitin and chitosan in pharmaceuticals,food processing,papermaking, agriculture, adhesive and textile manufacturing, and waste treatment. Weare publishing the proceedings of this conference becausewe believe that continuedinformation sharing is essential if the advances in deve'lopingthis valuable resourceare to continue. Wewish to ex- pressour appreciation to all thosewho participated in andcontributed to the conference, and we sincerely hope that publication of the papers will serve in the future as a comprehensivereference source for them, as well as for those who could not attend. Mr. Irving Sacks Mr. Dean A. Horn Acting Director Director Massachusetts Science and MIT Sea Grant Program Technology Foundation 15 May 1978 Wededicate these proceedings to the National Sea Grant Office, and especially to Dr. Robert Abel and Mr. HaroId Goodwin whose vision and wisdom are responsible for making the study of chitin and chitosan a matter uf international concern.

The Oxford English Dictionary, 1961 One of the streets in the old quarter of Nancy, France, bears the nameof Henri Braconnot, the discoverer of chitin. Braconnot, who lived from I/80 to 1856, studied chemistry and botany ln Strasbourgand biology and geology in Paris. Still ln his twenties, he became director of the Botanic Gardens of Nancy. The city honored him, however, apparently not for his scientific contri- butions'~ but for a generous sumof moneyhe left to the town, In the course of his work with mushrooms in 1 811, Braconnot becameintrigued with a cellulosic substancehe had isolated which did not undergochange ln an alkaline solution. Henamed the substance, "fungine." Tenyears later, in 1821,the name"chitlne" wasgiven to a material seemingly identical to fungine, but found by A. Odier while studying insects. Qdier, whopublished the newname in the M6moiresde la Socibtd d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris and in the Dictionnaire Classique d'Historic Naturelle, noted," It is most remarkable tu find the exoskeleton of insects to be identical with the cuticle of plants." ThoughOdier was incorrect in believing the two substances were identical, he is distinguished for not only namingchitin but for being the first personto observethe remarkablesimilarity betweenthe function of cellulose in plants and that of "chitine" in insects. Scientific interest in chitin continued for a time, but eventually muchpublished work fell into disuse and was forgotten until almost 40 years ago whenawareness that this natural polymer hadan impressivenumber of potential applications stimulated new research. The editors of these proceedings believe that this curiosity and subsequentinvestigations into the usesof' chitin contributed to the British war effort by providing a superior adhesive for the woodenfighter planes used by the British during the beginning of World War II. Nowmore than a century and a half after Braconnot madehis discovery, scientists throughoutthe world are fascinated by the potential large-scale, industrial applications for chitin. And they continue to be astonishedby the numberof living organisms in which they are finding chitin, its derivative chitosan, and enzymescapable of interacting with the two substances. Chitin has comeof age.in both basic and applied scienceand technology.

However, plastic is now victim of its own success. Waste THE CAPITOL TO is piling up, collection struggles to keep up, recycling is costly… With everyone pointing a finger at it, plastic is THE TARPEIAN ROCK more than ever at the center of society’s debates. While people in the most developed countries are Philippe Chalmin now clearly aware of the problem, in emerging and Professor, Paris-Dauphine University developing economies this awareness is hampered by problems of urban governance attributable to the rampant population growth in the megacities. Plastic has unwittingly become a symbol of the crisis of our postmodern society and one of the major challenges of the 21st century - albeit far from the only one. These problems need to be addressed pragmatically, with our eyes wide open, and without any illusion that we can achieve a plastic-free world.

    DE GRUYTER Physical Sciences Reviews. 2016; 20160048 Nathalie Berezina Production and application of chitin DOI: 10.1515/psr-2016-0048 1 Introduction For some years now, biopolymers have attracted great interest from both academia and industry. Some of them have been investigated for a long time, such as rubbers [1], the interest in others, such as starch, cellulose [2] or PHA [3], is mainly being driven by ecology concerns. Chitin is somehow apart from this mainstreaming interest in biopolymers. Indeed, as the second major biopolymer worldwide after cellulose, it is mainly produced as a byproduct in shellfish industry. Therefore its production was less a concern for its valorization through different applications and subsequent purifications and derivatizations [4, [5]. Chitin is a polysaccharide, more precisely an aminoglucopyranan, composed of N-acetylated glucosamine (GlcNAc) and glucosamine (GlcN) units (Figure 1), linked by β(1,4) covalent bonds [6]. Due to this specific link- age, chitin exhibits an extremely robust structure towards chemical and biological aggression, indeed the β(1,4) chitin bond is similar to the one found in cellulose, contrary to starch, that is much more easily digested by en- zymes of several (micro)organisms than cellulose and presents an α(1,4) covalent bond between its monomeric units. Figure 1: Chemical structure of chitin. Moreover, the N-acetyl group attached to the major part of the glucosamine monomeric units of chitin con- fers to it extremely poor solubility properties, making chitin difficult to process and thus limiting its potential applications [4]. To circumvent this issue, the hydrolysis of the acetyl group, also called deacetylation, can be applied (Figure 2).

Fundamentals and Applications of Chitosan Nadia Morin-Crini, Eric Lichtfouse, Giangiacomo Torri, and Grégorio Crini Abstract Chitosan is a biopolymer obtained from chitin, one of the most abundant and renewable material on Earth. Chitin is a primary component of cell walls in fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as crustaceans, e.g. crabs, lobsters and shrimps, and insects, the radulae of molluscs, cephalopod beaks, and the scales of fish and lissamphibians. The discovery of chitin in 1811 is attributed to Henri Braconnot while the history of chitosan dates back to 1859 with the work of Charles Rouget.

Phenolic compounds from different food crops with differ- ent chemical structures and biological functions have the potential to act as natural antioxidants. Plant-based human foods are rich with these phenolic phytochemicals and can be used effectively for food preservation and bioac- tive enrichments through metabolic stimulation of key pathways. Phenolic metabolites protect against microbial degradation of plant-based foods dur- ing postharvest storage. Phenolics not only provide biotic protection but also help to counter biochemical and physical food deteriorations and to enhance shelf life and nutritional quality.

  • Studies of the Nitration of Cellulose – Application in New Membrane Materials
    STUDIES OF THE NITRATION OF CELLULOSE – APPLICATION IN NEW MEMBRANE MATERIALS by Clement Cheung B. Sc., University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Chemistry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2014 ©Clement Cheung, 2014 Abstract Since the discovery of the production of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from acid hydrolysis of bulk cellulose, this material has been used as a template for imparting photonic properties on materials without innate structural ordering and as an additive in polymer composites to increase structural strength. However, the potential of NCC as a feedstock for highly nitrated cellulose has not been investigated. It is postulated that the smaller chain lengths in NCC may permit a higher degree of nitration in comparison with conventional nitrocellulose. In this thesis, various nitration methods have been investigated for their ability to produce highly nitrated NCC. Traditional nitration methods using HNO3/H2SO4 and less common nitration methods using HNO3/P2O5 and HNO3/Ac2O were used and the differences between methods were studied. There was an effect in using H2SO4 as the desiccant on the hindrance of the degree of nitration. Titration of the nitrated material with base shows the presence of more sulfate groups in samples nitrated in the presence of H2SO4 than in the absence of it, demonstrating that H2SO4 is a less ideal desiccant. In addition, pretreatment of NCC with a desulfation procedure improved the degree of nitration. The investigation of the other desiccants showed the importance of using a miscible, non-degrading desiccant to obtain a high degree of nitration.
