A small percentage of these industrial wastes (3%) are from food processing industries. Such wastes contain organic substances (i.e. proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc.) which can undergo various treatment in order to be used commercially like in food industries. One of the contributors to these wastes is fish and shellfish. A common product of the shell waste is chitosan which has various applications like biomedical (for wound healing), food (clarifying agent), personal care (cosmetics), agriculture (feed additive), and much more (Healy,
