Abstract: Chitin and chitosan have been prepared by the methods of EDTA and HCl with the shell of shrimp and Squilla Oratoria as raw materials. The structure and the properties of chitin and chitosan were studied by IR spectrometer and chemical analyzing. The results showed that the shell of Squilla Oratoria is an excellent raw materials for made chitin and chitosan, especially for made chitin and chitosan with high relative molecular mass.
