AB - The article focuses on shrimp shells' use beyond the food industry. According to research synthesised from the aforementioned literature, shrimp shells, which are considered an industrial waste product from the technique of preserving and freezing shrimp, may be transformed into commodities that have an increased value. Chitin is extracted from shrimp shells in a multi-step process that also removes protein, minerals, and acetylation to produce chitosan as a byproduct. Chitosan has several non-food applications, including membrane filtration, biopepticides, drug development substances in biomedicine, and face and body lotion.
