Abstract

Chitin, as a biomass material with a wide range of sources, is the second highest content natural polymer polysaccharide in nature.The application research of chitin has been attracting attention due to its unique physicochemical properties.However, the large-scale commercial application of chitin is still in the bottleneck stage of development due to the defects of traditional extraction methods and the difficulties of using chitin itself, causing a large number of chitin biomass have been abandoned.Thus, finding an eco-friendly method for chitin extraction is the important direction of current research.This review focused on the latest extraction methods of chitin as an object, elaborated on the research status of chitin extraction from the aspects of physical, chemical, and biological methods, and emphasized the advantages and disadvantages and development status of the chitin extraction process by chemical and biological methods.In addition, this review looked forward to the application of genetic engineering and other modern biotechnology in chitin extraction to provide a reference and practical basis for the subsequent improvement and upgrading of the green extraction process of chitin.
