Emerging Trends in the Development of Chitosan Films for Active Food Packaging
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the last 5 years on chitosan-based films for their potential application in the food packaging industry has been extensively reviewed, including various strategies that have been implemented to improve the properties of chitosa film, including using plasticizers and cross-linking agents, filling them with nanoparticles, fibers and whiskers and combining them with natural extracts and essential oils as well as with other natural and synthetic ingredients.

Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Results show that chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria tested and exposed to S. choleraesuis led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
