| Additional Information: | The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactic acid fermentation on deprotenation and demineralization of the shrimp biowaste along with its effect on the carotenoid recovery. The study was conducted using several batches of shrimp biowaste fermented under optimized conditions.The moisture content of the shrimp waste (Penaeus monodon)was 81.4+1.8%. The protein, fat, ash, are 28.4+2.1%, 17.9+1.83%, and 19.2+1.7% respectively, on dry weight basis. The fresh sample had a pH 8.2+0.15, chitin content of 26.3+1.1% (dry weight basis) and carotenoid content of 59.81+0.8µg/g of wet weight basis. Proximate compositions of the Penaeus indicus was moisture 83.45+1.15%, chitin 20.8+1.9%, fat 20.0+0.5%, and ash 23.03+2.63%respectively on dry weight basis. effect of fermentation on demineralization and deprotenization of shrimp biowaste resulted in >72% demineralization of shrimp biowaste while it could result in a deprotenization close to 98%. It indicates the usefulness of fermentation as a tool to produce chitin biologically instead of the conventional chemical methods that employ strong mineral acids for demineralization and strong alkali deproteination. |
