Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration on the deacetylation degree of chitosan extracted from maggot waste. Different hydrogen peroxide concentration (0%, 13%, 15%, and 20%) was studied. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan by using FTIR was found 75.3%, 77.6%, 78%, and 78.6% for a concentration of H2O2 of 0%, 13%, 15%, and 20%, respectively. The quality of chitosan extracted from the pupae shell of maggot waste meets the requirements of SNI 7949-2013. The concentration of H2O2 might increase the deacetylation degree of chitosan extracted from maggot waste.
