Abstract
► WSM, ASM and AIM are extracted from shell nacre, aragonite and vaterite pearls. ► Hydrophobic residues are major components of all extracts. ► Unbalanced acidic residues rates exist in WSM vs. ASM and in aragonite vs. vaterite. ► A 140 kDa material is specific for aragonite sample in WSM. ► All acid soluble extracts reveal 50 kDa components.
