equired longer times. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis of untreated and<br />

Chi-Aig treated SWW solids confirmed protein adsorption. Amide band areas<br />

normalized against a common 3005-2880 cm1 region confirmed the high protein<br />

recovery <strong>by</strong> 100 mg Chi-Alg/L SWW. Six Chi samples differing in molecular<br />

weight (MW) and degree of deacetylation (DD) were tested to recover soluble<br />

SWW solids using 20, 40, and 100 mg Chi-Alg/L SWW (0.2 MR, lh). High (94%,<br />

93%) and low (75%) DD <strong>chitosan</strong> had lower protein adsorption (73-75%) when<br />

compared to the intermediate (84%) DD <strong>chitosan</strong> (74-83%). Intermediate DD and<br />

high MW Chi seemed to perform better; however, SY-1000 with 94% DD did not<br />

follow this trend (79-86% protein adsorption, 85-92% turbidity reduction).<br />

Insoluble SWW (P1) and soluble solids (P2) recovered using 150 mg Chi-<br />

Alg/L SWW contained 61.4 and 73.1 % protein, respectively. Rat diets formulated<br />

with 10% protein substitution <strong>by</strong> P1 and 10% and 15% <strong>by</strong> P2 had acceptability and<br />

protein efficiency ratios (PER) as high as the casein control with no deleterious<br />

effects. Rat diets with 100% P2 protein substitution showed higher PER and net<br />

protein ratio than the casein control with no deleterious effects. Protein recovered<br />

from SWW using Chi-Aig has the potential to be used in commercial feed<br />

formulations.
