Preparation and characterisation of novel water-soluble β-carotene-chitooligosaccharides complexes.

TL;DR: The preparation ofβ-carotene-chitooligosaccharides complexes by mechanochemical methods did not cause the loss of the radical scavenging activity of β- carotene and guaranteed its water solubility.

Chitin in nature and technology

TL;DR: Chitin has been a landmark for polysaccharides and modified chitins, besides chitin itself, to the point that three International Conferences on Chitin / Chitosan were convened (Boston, U.S. A. 1977, Sapporo, Japan 1982 and Senigallia, Italy 1985).

Antimicrobial effect of chitooligosaccharides produced by bioreactor

TL;DR: In this paper, the antibacterial effect of three kinds of chitooligosaccharides with relatively higher molecular weights (HMWCOS), medium molecular weight (MMWCOS), and lower molecular weight, respectively, was evaluated against various microorganisms.
