Monika Szymańska-Chargot,Monika Chylińska,Giorgia Pertile,Piotr M. Pieczywek,Krystian J. Cieślak,Artur Zdunek,Magdalena Frąc +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the interaction between CCNFs and CHIT in terms of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and found that the chitosan content in the films varied from 9 to 33%.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel chitosan alleviates pulp breakdown of harvested longan fruit by suppressing disassembly of cell wall polysaccharides.
TL;DR: It is suggested that Kadozan with a dilution of 1:500 (VKadozan: VKadozan + Water) could significantly decrease activities of disassembling-enzymes and depolymerization of polysaccharides in cell wall, and subsequently alleviate pulp breakdown and prolong storage-life of postharvest longans.

Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications
Islem Younes,Marguerite Rinaudo +1 more
TL;DR: Several selected pharmaceutical and biomedical applications are presented, in which chitin and chitosan are recognized as new biomaterials taking advantage of their biocompatibility and biodegradability.
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.
