Problems solved by technology

[0006] Chinese published patent CN1186811A uses Yunnan pine caterpillar pupae as raw material to prepare chitin and chitosan. The patent uses: sodium hydroxide concentration of 40-50%, deacetylation reaction at 90-110°C for 10-20 hours , the above process can only prepare chitin with a deacetylation degree of less than 70%, and its product market application field is narrow
In addition, because the pine caterpillar harms the pine forest mainly in the larval stage, the pupa is collected as raw material after the larval stage, and the pine caterpillar has caused serious harm to the pine forest at this time.

Embodiment 1

[0023] Take 1 kg of old larvae of Pinus massoniana caterpillars, soak them in 15 times the volume of 1% NaCl solution for 2 hours, filter, layer the worm bodies, each layer is not more than 2cm thick, and place them in an ordinary oven at 75°C for 6 hours. The treated larvae of Pinus massoniana caterpillars were packed into 20-mesh gauze bags, put in water and squeezed for 0.5h until the skins and contents were separated, washed with tap water, and filtered to obtain 242 g of skins. Soak the insect skin with 15 times the volume of 6% NaOH solution at 75°C for 10 hours, wash it with tap water, then soak it with 15 times the volume of 4% hydrochloric acid solution at 50°C for 7 hours, wash it with 10 times the volume, 9 % hydrogen peroxide was decolorized at 50°C for 4 hours, washed with distilled water, and dried to obtain 206 g of white flaky solid chitin. The moisture content of the product is 8.89%, the ash content is 0.93%, the nitrogen content is 6.84%, and the yield is 20...

Embodiment 2

[0026] Get 1kg of old larvae of Pinus massoniana caterpillar, detoxification treatment and worm skin separation method are the same as embodiment 1. Insect skin soaked in 15 times the volume of 8% NaOH solution at 78°C for 14 hours, washed with tap water, then soaked in 15 times the volume of 3% hydrochloric acid solution at 40°C for 8 hours, washed with tap water, washed with 10 times the volume, 10% hydrogen peroxide was decolorized at 40° C. for 4 hours, washed with distilled water, and dried to obtain 203 g of white flaky solid chitin. The moisture content of the product is 8.89%, the ash content is 0.89%, the nitrogen content is 6.78%, and the yield is 20.3%.

[0027] The chitin product was further deacetylated by soaking in 15 times the volume of 40% NaOH solution for 10 hours, washed with tap water until neutral, then treated with 5% dilute hydrochloric acid solution for 6 hours, washed with distilled water until neutral, and dried to obtain 183 g of white flakes Solid...

Embodiment 3

[0029] Get 1kg of old larvae of Pinus massoniana caterpillar, detoxification treatment and worm skin separation method are the same as embodiment 1. Soak the insect skin with 15 times the volume of 10% NaOH solution at 75°C for 12 hours, wash it with tap water, then soak it with 15 times the volume of 6% hydrochloric acid solution at 45°C for 6 hours, wash it with 10 times the volume, 10% hydrogen peroxide was decolorized at 40° C. for 4 hours, washed with distilled water, and dried to obtain 200 g of white flaky solid chitin. The moisture content of the product is 8.32%, the ash content is 0.81%, the nitrogen content is 6.59%, and the yield is 20.0%.

[0030] The chitin product was further deacetylated by soaking in 15 times the volume of 50% NaOH solution for 6 hours, washed with tap water until neutral, then treated with 5% dilute hydrochloric acid solution for 6 hours, washed with distilled water until neutral, and dried to obtain 179 g of white flakes Solid matter chitos...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing chitin and chitosan from dendrolimus punctatus larvae which are major pests. The dendrolimus punctatus larvae undergoes the steps of detoxification treatment, peel separation, organic matter removing treatment, mineral removing treatment and decoloring treatment to obtain the chitin and then undergoes deacetylation treatment to obtain the chitosan. The chitin and chitosan preparing method expands the source for chitin and chitosan preparation; and as the dendrolimus punctatus larvae is widely available, the preparation cost is low. In addition, bydirectly developing the larvae, the method makes the harmful pests profitable, remarkably reduces the loss in the forest industry and is suitable for wide application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biological resource processing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing chitin and chitosan from larvae of masson pine caterpillars. Background technique [0002] Chitin, also known as chitin, chitin, etc. Chitosan is the product of deacetylation of chitin. Chitin and chitosan are natural non-toxic polymer polysaccharides, which have been widely used in many fields such as medicine, chemical industry, biology, agriculture, textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, environmental protection and so on. There is often a shortage of supply in domestic and foreign markets. At present, the annual output of chitosan in my country is only about 200 tons, while the demand reaches 450 tons, which is far from meeting the market demand. [0003] At present, the main raw materials used to prepare chitosan are discarded shrimp shells and crab shells from aquatic product processing plants, such as Chinese published...
