Description
Barsha Baisakhi and her team turn waste shells from tiger shrimp into tiny bits of chitosan that can kill germs and are safe for cells. Their 2025 study uses a sea waste that can harm nature but also holds rich stock for new goods.
The team made the tiny bits from Penaeus monodon shells by a green gel step. Tests showed the bits had a clear crystal form, stood up well to heat, and kept the same small shape. The bits killed germs that make fish sick and did well in tests for harm from air. Tests on skin-like cells showed the bits were safe for cells. The team also made a new gel mix with the chitosan and tried it as a coat to keep picked fruit fresh.
