Hello

I am trying to obtain chitin from crab. I haven't neutralized the product of deproteinization step but I have spent a lot of water. Is it necessary to reach a 7 pH before starting demineralization process? How could the product be affect?

Mariana Ferdes

If the pH value is not neutral, the demineralization process could be incomplete.
