Thus, one of the proper ways to control the local pollution is to transform the industrial by products into more usable form. Shrimp shell is one of the abundant potential wastes from the shellfish industry, that also known commonly as the source for chitin. The chitin and its derivative, chitosan are polymers that can be extracted from crustacean, arthropods, and fungi. The natural biomaterials are well known with wide capabilities in various industries due to its nontoxicity, antimicrobials, biocompatible, and biodegradable features. The main purpose of the study is to characterize and compare the chitin and chitosan driven from different sources by analysis of chemical components. In addition, chitin and chitosan have different polymorphs distinguish by dissimilar structural components. Thus, different type of chitin and chitosan from different sources will give distinct results. In this study, the chitins are obtained from the shrimp shells, lobster shells, and cicada sloughs. From the procedures, the chitins were extracted before being characterized by Fourier Transformation Infrared spectroscopy to receive the transmittance readings. Then, the chitin samples were undergoes treatment of acidic demineralization, alkali deproteinization, and depigmentation before treated with deacetylation to obtain the chitosan. Next, the chitosan samples were analyzed using Fourier Transformation Infrared spectroscopy readings too. The comparison between the analysis of chitin and chitosan from different sources are discussed to determine the differences and relationship in extraction yields and chemical components for both types of polymer driven from different sources. Thus, the qualitative results for each sample are obtained uniquely. The research implemented the degree of acetylation and degree of deacetylation for the samples in order to analyse more on the industrial viability for chitin and chitosan polymers respectively. The quantitative results of the study also suggested that the suitability of chitin driven from shrimp only with 66% DA value that does fit the range for commercial usage of below 90%. Other than that, all of the chitosan samples are in common range of 56% to 99%, with the DD values of 61%, 64%, and 64% for shrimp shells, lobster shells, and cicada sloughs respectively. Hopefully, the study can contribute as references on future polymer researches and for contribution on the biomaterials that can be commercial and industrialized. 2020-07 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/32773/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/32773/1/32773.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi Mara Perlis Faculty of Applied Sciences
