Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of Chitin Derived from the Asian Hornet, Vespa velutina Lepeletier 1836 (Hym.: Vespidae)
Fifteen years ago, at least one multimated female yellow-legged Asian hornet (Vespa velutina Lepeletier 1836) arrived in France, which gave rise to a pan-European invasion.In this study, the isolation and characterization of chitin (CHI) that was obtained from Vespa velutina (CHIVV) is described.In addition, an easy procedure is carried out to capt
