Abstract. Chitin and chitosan should be considered cellulose derivatives. The basis of this approach to these polysaccharides is their chemical structure. The macromolecular chains of these polymers are formed by glucopyranose rings, which, when connected by β-(1→4) glucosidic bonds, form linear polymer chains. The biological functions and mechanical properties of these polysaccharides are largely determined by the conformation of macromolecules and the distribution of reactive groups in them. Due to their unique properties, chitin and chitosan are becoming increasingly important in practical and especially in the medical and biological activities of mankind. Using methods of chemical modification of chitosan, a number of new biologically active materials have been created. The main interest in these products is due to the preservation of the basic physicochemical and biological properties of the original polymer and the acquisition of new properties depending on the nature of the introduced groups. Modified chitosan can be used in various fields such as drug delivery, textiles, wastewater treatment and a number of biomedical applications. The purpose of this work is to obtain chitin from the dead Apis Mellifera, to obtain chitosan from chitin, as well as to synthesize a Schiff base based on chitosan with some aldehydes; the physicochemical properties of the resulting compounds have been studied.
Key words. dead bees, Apis Mellifera, chitin, chitosan, biopolymer, aldehydes, Schiff bases, azomethines.
