- Abstract
Allah gave this universe for human needs in living life in the world. Allah gave the mandate to humans to protect nature and the environment to create harmonization in life. However, many humans violate Allah's commands by destroying and polluting the environment. Waste generated continues to increase and this harms the environment. Shrimp is an important commodity in the seafood business. This business produces waste in the form of shrimp shells which causes pollution in the form of a foul odor and disrupts environmental sustainability. This research turns shrimp waste into new product chitosan which is useful and has economic value. This research is an experimental study conducted in a laboratory with the processes of deproteinization (NaOH 3.5%), demineralization (HCl 1M), and deacetylation (NaOH 60%). The results obtained showed good quality chitosan with white color, odorless, and the degree of deacetylation was 73.74%.
