Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a natural polysaccharide with significant potential for biological applications. This study aims to extract chitosan from crab shell (Portunus trituberculatus) waste through a series of processes including demineralization, deproteinization, and deacetylation. The crystallinity index and deacetylation degree (DD) were determined, and the chitosan was characterized using several analytical techniques, viz. XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM with EDS. The crab shell derived chitosan exhibits significant antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. The CS showed 90.35 % inhibition in ABTS free radical scavenging assays and showed 88.40 % of inhibition against the alpha glucosidase enzyme. It also showed an anti-inflammation potential with the IC50 value of 132.72 ± 1.36 µg/mL. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity test of the CS against MCF – 7 cell line exhibited an IC50 value of 22.86 ± 0.05 µg/mL.
