Abstract: This paper presents the chemical extraction of two marine polysaccharides (chitin and chitosan) from one of the crustacean species of Romanian Black Sea waters. The characterization of these polysaccharides were studied through optical microscopy and FT-IR/ATR spectroscopy. The spectra samples were compared with those of chitin and chitosan standards and results showed the presence of chitin and chitosan in the studied samples.
