Isolation of chitosan-melanin complex from black soldier fly adults and obtaining nanofibrous materials based on it
The article presents the results of studying the viscosity of chitosan-melanin complex solutions from the larvae of the insect Hermetia illucens and the process of gelation in these solutions in the presence of crosslinking reagents. Chemically cross-linked nanofibers were obtained from solutions of the chitosan-melanin complex in dilute solutions of acetic acid by the method of spinneretless electrospinning. The presence of 14% melanin made it possible to reduce the concentration of acetic acid in the spinning composition.
