Chitin used in a sentence

Chitin in a sentence as a noun

You must run weidu where chitin. key is

Which bits do you eat, and how do you avoid getting all that chitin in your teeth?

Can't you crush the insects into powder and remove the chitin afterwards?

I tested positive for chitin allergy from my doctor via a skin test.

So wait, are they suggesting that they make the chitin here on earth and ship it off to the moon/mars? Or are they suggesting that they ship insects & food to the moon and mars and create the chitin there?

It's probably not chitin you are allergic to. It is also in mushrooms, and if you can eat those without a problem it is something else.

Though mushrooms contain large amounts of chitin which we can’t really digest, so I’m not sure they would be a good fit as base food.

Also, chitin is a derivative of glucose. I checked that in 5 seconds on Wikipedia, it's the very first sentence.

Chitosan is derived from chitin, and it acts in a similar way, it induces an immune response in plants, and makes them more vigorous. Plants treated with chitosan usually grow larger, flower earlier, and produce more fruit.

The Wikipedia article mentions that chitin's degradation products are still recognized. Do you think these chitinases would break the bonds enough to bypass immune recognition?

They don't seem to know that there is a specific optical wavelength that dissociates chitin via a mechanism not dependent on heating. It seems like much shorter or less focused exposures should suffice at such a wavelength.

Neither chitin nor lignin are carbohydrates, lignin isn't even chemically related. Even ruminants can't digest lignin, only a few funghi can do that.

Most of the nutrients in mushrooms are behind a cell wall of chitin, which is a fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides and forming the major constituent in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. because of this chitin, eating a mushroom raw is not very nutritious and you miss out on most of the health benefits.

Yes, like us, fungi are opisthokonts, but where collagen is the mammalian structural protein used for making leather, fungal hyphae are principally comprised of chitin—structurally closer to the polysaccharide cellulose of the mentioned "kombucha leather" than to the collagen protein. Collagen is present in fungi in certain edge cases, but bulk mycelium is mostly chitin. This is speculation, but leather made from chitin may actually be a bit stronger than animal leather made from collagen.

To administer its vaccine, the Radvac group settled on mixing the peptides with chitosan, a substance from shrimp shells, which coats the peptides in a nanoparticle able to pass the mucous membrane " The author is in error, chitin is derived from crustacean shells, but chitosan is an artificial compound created by treating chitin with highly alkaline chemistry. I have samples of pharma chitosan and I can tell you when mixed into aqueous solutions at low conc.

Free oxygen becoming available in the atmosphere for organisms to use allowed the formation of collagen and chitin, both of which are necessary to form the large structures complex life needs, and also allowed for more efficient breathing, which allowed for larger and more complex life.
