Production of chitosan from local crab chitin waste enzymatically for health drink

The aim of the research were to produce local chitin waste to bioactive compound of chitosan enzimatically to applied in functional drink instant. The chitin waste made from crab shells as by product of canning crabs meat industry in Cirebon. Production of chitosan enzimatically used chitin deacetylase enzyme which produced by Bacillus papandayan isolated from Kamojang Creater, West Java, Indonesia. The result of this research was technology of process and chitosan product which degraded enzimatically. Product was chitosan-tea drink which ready to solute in water. The conclusion of this research that fisically, chitosan-tea drink instant performance were white-brown flour mixed with dry chitosan gel (1,5 cm x 1,5 cm), soft surface, brown clear color, and smooth. Formulation of chitosantea drink was weight 23,7 gram perpack/once consumption (sorbitol 22,5 gram, green tea extract 0,375 gram, chitosan 0,8 gram). Chemically, chitosan-tea drink instant have water content 0,22% w/w, ash content 0,11% w/w, protein content 0,03% w/w, lipid content 0,002% w/w, calory 58,5 kkal which suitable with SNI 01-3722-1995 standard.
