Deep processing of shrimp and crab shells can add up to 350 times

Recently, it was learned from Nantong Shuanglin Biological Products Co., Ltd. of Qile City, Jiangsu Province that they used the rich resources of shrimp and crab shells along the coast and used high-tech methods to develop chitin and its derivative products, enabling a ton of shrimp crab shells to undergo deep processing and added value. 350 times.
Taking lobster processing as an example, fresh shrimp heads and shrimp hulls from the lobster processing workshop contain about 20% protein and about 5% chitin, and use advanced biochemical technology to separate proteins and chitin from them. And carry out in-depth development and processing. Each ton of shrimp head and shrimp shell can extract about 200 kilograms of protein and 50 kilograms of chitin. 50 kg of chitin can produce 25 kg of glucosamine hydrochloride or 1000 boxes of the sixth essential health product (chitosan). If measured by economic value, the value of the shrimp shell per ton is 400 yuan, the value of 200 kg of protein and 50 kg of chitin is 2,000 yuan, the value of 25 kg of glucosamine hydrochloride is 10,000 to 12,000 yuan, and 1000 boxes of the sixth essential health product The value is 128,000 yuan, so that from a ton of shellfish deep processing value-added 350 times.
The protein extracted from shrimp shells can be further processed into flower fertilizers or become a superior raw material for the production of full-priced feeds. Chitin derivatives are extremely important and widely used in many fields such as agriculture, medicine, food, chemicals, cosmetics, biotechnology, and environmental protection.
