In the present study, two bioactive materials (chitin and antioxidant) were recovered from shrimp shell waste after fermentation using six Bacillus strains. High deproteinization rates were achieved by all the strains tested when cultivated in medium supplemented or not with glucose. Glucose supplementation was found to improve demineralization. Moreover, shrimp waste hydrolysates recovered from liquid fermentation fractions, have proved to possess varying antioxidant activities.
