Abstract:
The procedure of isolation of chitin, chitosan, and water-soluble low-molecular-weight chitin from the corpses of bees was developed. This procedure included deproteinization of the corpses of bees, discoloration of the chitin-melanin complex, deacetylation, and enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan.
