Abstract
In this study, the conversion of glucosamine, which is a major monomer in chitin/chitosan of crustacean shell, using solid acid catalyst was performed to obtain chemical intermediates such as levulinic acid and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF). The conversion reaction was optimized with four reaction factors of selection of ionic resin catalyst, reaction temperature, catalyst amount, and reaction time. As an optimized result, the highest levulinic acid yield was achieved approximately 36.86% under the determined conditions (Amberlyst 15 as a solid-acid catalyst, $180^{\circ}C$, 5% catalyst amount and 60 min). On the other hand, 5-HMF yield was found to be 0.91% at the condition.
