Hydrophobic Effect of Amphiphilic Derivatives of Chitosan on the Antifungal Activity against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus
Ricchard Hallan Felix Viegas de Souza,Mirelli Takaki,Rafael de Oliveira Pedro,Juliana Dos Santos Gabriel,Marcio José Tiera,Vera Ap. De Oliveira Tiera +5 more
TL;DR: Results revealed that the amphiphilic derivatives grafted with Dod groups exhibited increasing inhibition indexes, depending on polymer concentration and hydrophobic content, which open up the possibility of new applications and avenues to develop effective biofungicides based on chitosan.

Effect of chitosan treatments on quality parameters of fresh refrigerated swordfish (Xiphias gladius) steaks stored in air and under vacuum conditions.
TL;DR: It is indicated that the shelf-life of swordfish steaks can be extended using, either aerobic or vacuum packaging and in combination with chitosan, by approximately 4 (A-CH), 8 (VP) and 12 (VP-CH) days.
Inhibitory effect of chitosan on growth of the fungal phytopathogen,Sclerotinia sclerotiorum,and sclerotinia rot of carrot
TL;DR: The effects of chitosan on sclerotinia rot of carrot may be associated with the direct damage to the plasma membrane and lipid peroxidation of S. sclerotiorum mycelia, and the elicitation of defense response in carrot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan extends the shelf-life of filleted tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) during refrigerated storage
TL;DR: The shelf-life of chitosan-treated, filleted tilapia was extended to 12 d, whereas that of untreated, control samples was 6 d, indicating that chitOSan, as a natural preservative, has great application potential in the shelf- life extension oftilapia fillets.
