Abstract
Chitosan was prepared using shell waste from different species of prawns separately as head and body peelings as well as mix of these two portions. The proximate composition of these portions ,was determined and the yield and viscosity of chitosan, obtained were found out. It was observed that the body shell gave good quality chitosan with higher yield and viscosity than other portions. Among the different species Penaeus indicus body shell yielded chitosan with the highest viscosity.
