Nonetheless, inefficient isolation processes could lead to a waste to this invaluable raw material and incur additional cost. Chitosan is

Being a component of crustacean’s exoskeleton, chitin is one of main carbohydrate found on earth. Its derivative, chitosan can be isolated through deacetylation process of chitin. Due to their potential in pharmaceutical field, this study is using chitin and chitosan isolated from horseshoe crab to be tested on zebrafish (Danio rerio) developing
