Abstract in brief
The study discusses the extraction and detailed chemical analysis of chitin (CHI) from the invasive Asian hornet, which has spread across Europe over the past 15 years.
Various techniques like FTIR, NMR, SEM, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the extracted chitin, confirming its high purity and full acetylation.
The research suggests that the Asian hornet could be a valuable, sustainable source of chitin, with established methods for capturing the insects efficiently and analyzing their biopolymer content.
