Discussion

This study demonstrates chitosan extraction from Melanoplus differentialis, showing NaOH concentration impacts yield significantly.

Chitosan yield reached 60.62% under optimized conditions.
NaOH concentration was identified as the most significant factor affecting the yield.
Extraction involved sequential demineralization, deproteination, and decolorization.
Response Surface Methodology optimized factors like NaOH concentration and deacetylation time.

Lawal et al. (2025) studied this question.
