Cockroach and Prawn FTIR Spectra with Chitin and Chitosan Extraction Yields

Supplementary data from a biopolymer extraction study, published on figshare by Adebowale E. Aderogba. The dataset includes FTIR spectra values, chitin and chitosan yield percentages, and degree of deacetylation analyses for both cockroach and prawn sources. It was last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Compare chitin extraction efficiency based on yield values from cockroach and prawn sources.
• Analyze polymer structure based on FTIR spectra values for different source materials.
• Model the relationship between degree of deacetylation and other extraction result values.
• Benchmark chitosan production yields from alternative biological sources.

Strengths

• Data includes comparative results from two distinct biological sources (cockroach and prawn).
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• It contains multiple related analytical results (yield, FTIR, deacetylation) in one package.

Limitations

• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
