The acid hydrolysis of waste shrimp shell to obtain glucosamine was investigated. The waste had a high protein (39.6%), chitin (22.6%) and ash (28.1%) content. It seemed possible, therefore, that the waste could be converted into two sources of protein; one directly, through the production of protei
Ethanol whole plant extracts of three halophytic plants from Bahrain Sesuvium verrucosum, Salsola baryosma, Zygophyllum quatarense have been tested for their cytotoxic activity by the brine shrimp method. Only S. verrucosum showed a marked significant activity (LC(50) = 102.7 microg/mL)
## Abstract **Summary:** Accurate determination of chitin and protein contents in crustacean biomass and the intermediate products during the industrial isolation of chitin cannot be made directly from the total nitrogen content, unless the appropriate corrections are applied. This method, however,
