METHOD FOR PROCESSING ORGANIC MATTER CONTAINING CHITIN
摘要
<p>Disclosed is a method for purifying a chitin which includes a step for processing an organic matter containing a chitin in an acidic aqueous solution in the subcritical or supercritical state. Also disclosed is a method for producing a low molecular weight chitin or a chitin oligosaccharide. Further disclosed is a method for producing a chitosan, a low molecular weight chitosan or a chitosan oligosaccharide which includes deacetylation of the thus-obtained chitin or the like. Still further disclosed is a method for producing a chitin degradation product and/or a protein degradation product which includes a step for processing an organic matter containing a chitin in an acidic aqueous solution in the subcritical or supercritical state.</p>
