Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Prawn shell waste (PSW) from seafood and aquaculture processing industries is currently a serious environmental concern due to improper disposal practices. Current methods for production of value added products like chitin, chitosan, pigments and protein from PSW uses harsh chemicals leading to generation of polluting effluents and green alternatives are highly desirable. Bacillus megatarium and B. subtilis, isolated from PSW were evaluated for their potential in demineralization (DM) and deproteination (DP) the shell waste for production of chitin and protein hydrolysate, alone or in combination. PSW fermentation with B. megatarium gave 73% DM and 73.28% DP when supplemented with 0.1% glucose, whereas, co-fermentation using both cultures gave DM and DP efficiencies of 70.75% and 75.12% respectively. Chitin recovery was maximum (40%) for B. megatarium and FTIR analysis showed characteristic signatures of chitin. Protein hydrolysate was enriched in essential amino-acids indicating potential to be used in feed additives.
