TL;DR: Carvacrol-loaded chitosan nanoparticles showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli with an MIC of 0.257 mg/mL and the release rate was superior in an acidic medium to either alkaline or neutral media, respectively.
456 citations
TL;DR: The results suggest the possible use of eugenol-loaded chitosan nanoparticles as antioxidants in bioactive plastics for food packaging.
294 citations
TL;DR: The encapsulation of ascorbyl palmitate in chitosan particles was carried out by droplet formation via an oil-in-water emulsion, followed by droplets solidification via ionic gelation using sodium triphosphate pentabasic (TPP) as a cross-linking agent.
232 citations
TL;DR: The fabrication of silver nanoparticles was accomplished by γ-ray irradiation reduction of silver nitrate in a chitosan solution, and the obtained nanoparticles were stable in the solution for more than six months, and showed the characteristic surface plasmon band at 411-nm as well as a positively charged surface with 40.4-mV as mentioned in this paper.
229 citations
TL;DR: The improved antioxidant property and water solubility of this chitosan derivative could open a wide range of applications, particularly its use as an antioxidant in food, food packaging, biomedical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

TL;DR: Several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomMaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes.
Abstract: In this article, several applications of nanomaterials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including: polymer/clay nanocomposites as high barrier packaging materials, silver nanoparticles as potent antimicrobial agents, and nanosensors and nanomaterial-based assays for the detection of food-relevant analytes (gasses, small organic molecules and food-borne pathogens). In addition to covering the technical aspects of these topics, the current commercial status and understanding of health implications of these technologies are also discussed. These applications were chosen because they do not involve direct addition of nanoparticles to consumed foods, and thus are more likely to be marketed to the public in the short term.

TL;DR: In this review, four mechanisms are introduced to prepare polysaccharides-based nanoparticles, that is, covalent crosslinking, ionic crossl linking, polyelectrolyte complex, and the self-assembly of hydrophobically modified poly Saccharides.
1,508 citations
TL;DR: The most promising nanoscale fillers are layered silicate nanoclays such as montmorillonite and kaolinite as mentioned in this paper, which can provide active and/or smart properties to food packaging systems.
1,461 citations
TL;DR: Chitosan structure modification or additive incorporation is an effective way to improve the stability of the polyplex in biological fluids, enhance targeted cell delivery and facilitate endo-lysosomal release of the complex.
866 citations
TL;DR: The main objective of this review is to provide an insight into various target-specific carriers, based on chitosan and its derivatives, towards low molecular weight drug delivery.
