Abstract

In this study, chitin nanofibers are isolated from Calocybe indica (Milky White Mushroom), and they are further characterized using various analytical techniques such as UV-VIS, FTIR, TGA, Fe - SEM, and XRD. Antioxidant activity of the chitin nanofibers was studied by performing various assays such as DPPH, ABTS, H2O5 Scavenging Activity, Hydroxyl Radical Activity, Superoxide Assay, and Reduced Glutathione Activity. Isolated Chitin nanofibers were then chemically treated to form hydrogels. The hydrogels formed were further characterized.
