Encapsulation of crocin using low-molecular-weight Penicillium expansum-derived chitosan and process optimization via Taguchi orthogonal array design.

The aim of this study was to produce fungal chitosan from a potential fungus using a cost-effective substrate (sugar beet molasses) and optimize the growth conditions using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array (OA). The obtained fungal chitinous chitosan (FC)…
