Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol Electrospinning Nano-Membranes Using the Green Solvent, Plasma Acid
TL;DR: An environmentally friendly chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nano-membrane was proposed in this article. But it is not suitable for the use in the manufacturing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity of chitin/chitosan/chitosan oligosaccharide against plant pathogenic nematodes and potential modes of application in agriculture: A review.
TL;DR: In this article , a review summarizes the advancements of chitin oligo/polysaccharide (COPS) research in nematode control from three perspectives of action mechanism as well as in slow-release carrier-loaded nematicides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of lemon essential oil-enriched coating on the postharvest storage quality of citrus fruits
TL;DR: In this paper , the use of lemon essential oil and its mixtures with chitosan, calcium chloride, and natamycin on the postharvest storage quality of citrus was evaluated.

TL;DR: The current review of 129 references describes the biological activity of several chitosan derivatives and the modes of action that have been postulated in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial properties of chitosan and mode of action: A state of the art review
TL;DR: The paper reviews the current trend of investigation on antimicrobial activities of chitosan and its mode of action and different physical states are comparatively discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
