Table 2.

Chitin content in the NF (TM dried)

Batch number (TM dried)
#6 #7 #8 #9 #10
ADF (g/100 g NF)a 7.6 7.6 8.1 8.5 8.2
ADL (g/100 g NF)b < 1.5 < 1.5 < 1.5 < 1.5 < 1.5
Chitin (g/100 g NF)c 7.6 7.6 8.1 8.5 8.2
a

ADF = Acid Detergent Fibre.

b

ADL = Acid Detergent Lignin, LOQ = 1.5.

c

Chitin calculated as ADF‐ADL. The results may present a small overestimation of chitin due to the uncertainty regarding the ADL numerical value.
