Food manufacturing generates a considerable amount of leftovers. Garbage disposal could cause environmental and ecological issues. Nevertheless, it is often possible to convert waste into high-value usable goods. Researchers have combed through natural wastes discovered substances that be re-utilised address the One materials in marine chitin, which transformed chitosan. Chitosan biopolymer derived from non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible. Therefore, chitosan has wide range applications. Moreover, been widely acknowledged an effective biomaterial variety ways. This review aims examine more closely primary sources chitosan, extraction methods,
