Chitosan based edible films and coatings: A review
Maher Z. Elsabee,Entsar S. Abdou +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the application of chitosan and its blends with other natural polymers such as starch and other ingredients for example essential oils, and clay in the field of edible films for food protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from local sources.
TL;DR: Chitin from squid pens did not require steeping in sodium hydroxide solution and showed much higher reactivity towards deacetylation in the autoclave that even after 15 min of heating a degree of deacetyation of 90% was achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from marine sources in Arabian Gulf
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extracted chitin in the α and the β forms from different marine crustacean from the Arabian Gulf, and the contents of the various exoskeletons have been analyzed and the percent of the inorganic salt (including the various elements present), protein and the chitins was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan based nanofibers, review
TL;DR: Several polymer blends of chitin/chitosan with many commercial polymers were found to be amenable for electrospinning producing uniform beads free fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
