Table 1 Deacetylation degree (DD) and viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of chitosan (CS) samples from BSF obtained from both Unbl and Bl CT, and the commercial chitosan (Comm CS)

From: Usage of chitosan from Hermetia illucens as a preservative for fresh Prunus species fruits: a preliminary analysis

	DD (%)	M_v (kDa)
Unbl CS	86 ± 2.0	137 ± 3.5^b
Bl CS	87 ± 1.8	75 ± 3.8^c
Comm CS	90 ± 1.2	363 ± 4.2^a

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters (a,b,c) in the column indicate significant differences (p < 0.001) among chitosan samples (data analysed with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test)
