Abstract

Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) is one of chitosan derivatives which is able to give health benefits as well as antioxidant source. Instead crustacean, silkworm pupa is also an alternative source of chitosan. This experimental study was carried out to find the optimum molarity of NaOH (5 M, 10 M, and 15 M) on alkalization process in CMC silkworm pupa production based on its physicochemical characteristics. The best CMC characteristics were yield about 113.79 % - 115.94 %, alkalinity levels about 4.01 - 4.22, moisture contents about 10.80 % - 11.99 %, ash contents about 0.04 % - 0.37 %, nitrogen totals about 4.06 % - 4.76 %, solubility about 93.39 % - 99.28 %
