Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. There are three polymorphic crystal structures of chitin, that is, α-, β-, γ-form. In this work, α-, β-, and γ-chitin were isolated from natural resources by chemical method and characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometer, solid state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectrophotometer, and XRD. At FT-IR spectra, α-, β-chitin showed doublet and singlet at amide I band, respectively, and γ-chitin showed intermediate form between α- and β-chitin. From solid state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectra, two signals appeared at around 73 and 75 ppm assigned to C3 and C5 carbon atoms in α-chitin are sharply resolved, the signals of C3 and C5 in β-chitin shows singlet at around 74 ppm. In case of γ-chitin, two signals show at around 73 and 75 ppm assigned to C3 and C5 carbon atoms. From the X-ray diffraction results, α-chitin was observed four crystalline reflections, shown at 9.6, 19.6, 21.1, and 23.7 by crystalline structure. Also, β-chitin was observed two crystalline reflections, shown at 9.1, and 20.3 by crystal structure. γ-chitin with structure of both antiparallel and parallel was close to X-ray diffraction patterns of α-chitin.
