High-yield chitin extraction and nanochitin production from cricket legs

Crickets, which are commonly used in insect-based foods, are an eco-friendly protein source that can potentially replace crustacean shells for chitin isolation. However, low yields limit this strategy for chitin production. In this study, we focused on cricket legs, which contain a significant amoun...
