  • Chitin, hydrolysate and method for the production of one or more desired products from insects by means of enzymatic hydrolysis
    Patent number: 11891459
    Abstract: The invention relates to chitin, a hydrolysate and a method for the production of at least one desired product from insects. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for the production of at least one desired product from insects, comprising an insect cuticle pressing step, followed by the enzymatic hydrolysis of the insect cuticles using a proteolytic enzyme.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2024
    Inventors: Nathalie Berezina, Antoine Hubert, Fabrice Berro, Jean-Gabriel Levon, Karine Le Roux, Cecilia Socolsky, Lorena Sanchez, Sophie Laurent
  • Chitin, hydrolysate and production of at least one desired product from insects by means of enzymatic hydrolysis, comprising a combination of steps performed prior to the enzymatic hydrolysis
    Patent number: 10995124
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of chitin and/or chitosan from insects. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for the production of chitin and/or chitosan from insect cuticles, comprising an insect cuticle pressing step, followed by a step involving the enzymatic hydrolysis of the insect cuticles using a proteolytic enzyme, the cuticles having been treated with an oxidising agent prior to the enzymatic hydrolysis.

  • EXTRACTION OF CHITINS IN A SINGLE STEP BY ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS IN AN ACID MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20140100361
    Abstract: A method of enzymatic extraction of chitin is realized in a single step wherein the chitin is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of raw material constituted by animal biomass including chitin, the enzymatic hydrolysis using an enzyme active in acid medium. Also disclosed is a process of optimization of the method of enzymatic extraction of chitin, as well as the chitin susceptible to be obtained by the method of enzymatic extraction.
