【 摘 要 】
The fact that a- and b-chitin adopt different arrays in the solid state is explored to emphasize their different properties and distinct spectral characteristics and X ray diffraction patterns. The methods for their extraction from the biomass in view of the preservation of their native structures and aiming to fulfill the claims of purity and uniformity for potential applications are discussed. The different arrays adopted by a- and b-chitin also result in distinct reactivities toward the deacetylation reaction. Thus, the deacetylation of b-chitin is more efficient owing to the better accessibility to amide groups due to the lower crystallinity of this polymorph.
