Plant-based polyphenols are natural compounds, present in fruits and vegetables. During recent years, polyphenols have gained special attention due to their nutraceutical and pharmacological activities for the prevention...

Composite films based on chitosan, glycerol and magnetic iron oxides were obtained by two different procedures: in situ generation of iron oxide particles in the already formed films and dispersion of previously synthesi...

"...chitosan has proved to be versatile for so many industrial applications and its versatility is the main value of this polymer. However, the lability at acidic pH of chitosan is a limiting factor that affects mainly ...

Abstract Various silicate compounds have been extensively used for scaffold fabrication via electrospinning. However, harnessing the bioactive properties of Calcium silicate (CS) and Zinc silicate (ZS) are less explored ...

ABSTRACT An eco-friendly method of extraction for chitin and chitosan extracted from crawfish was our goal. Chitin is always present with proteins, minerals, and other components. This study used an eco-accommodating, no...

A good sealing ability of apical part of root canal system is needed to prevent microleakage thus resulting long-lasting successful treatment. Chitosan nanoparticles as nanofillers could be added to epoxy resin sealer to...

Abstract The Chitosan is a non-toxic, biocompatibale ploysacchride produced by deacetyltion of naturally occurring chitin. The mucoadhesitivity and biodegradability of chitosan have made chitosan as a choice material fo...

Abstract Germ-remaining rice is prized for its high nutritional density, but its intense metabolic activity accelerates quality deterioration and severely curtails shelf life. Silkworm pupa chitosan has excellent antioxi...

Abstract Hesperidin (HSP) is a bioactive flavonoid, and its activity is limited due to poor water solubility. We designed this research to develop and evaluate hesperidin nanoparticles (HSPNPs) to enhance drug release an...

Tooth extraction can lead to alveolar bone resorption, requiring regenerative approaches using biomaterial scaffolds combined with stem cells. Chitosan–hydroxyapatite (CS–HA), a well-established scaffold that mimics ...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains growth factors that speed up a healing process. The liquid form of PRP is difficult to be applied, so it needs material as a carrier of collagen. Collagen can be used as carrier materi...

Abstract Objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of coated edible films with chitosan solutions enriched with essential oil (EO) on the chemical, microbial and sensory properties of Kashar cheese duri...

Abstract Owing to the widespread usage of synthetic dyes, water contamination prompted by these materials has led to a severe menace on aquatic ecosystem and also on living organisms health. Chitosan modified with cyanog...

Abstract To improve the antimicrobial and antioxidant characteristics of chitosan (CH), a conjugate of gallic acid (GA) and chitosan (GA-g-CH) was synthesized through a radical grafting process. The impact of the additio...

Changing gel structure and immobilization conditions led to a significant improvement in the covalent multipoint attachment of chymotrypsin on chitosan. The use of sodium alginate, gelatin, or κ-carrageenan, activation ...

This work investigates the structure and magnetic properties of chitosan based films with different contents of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of around 10 nm as well as the effects of the addition of glycerol as plastici...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the safety of chitosan oligosaccharide-taurine aqueous solution for consumption and its effect on the immune function of mice.MethodsSafety was evaluated through acute toxicity tests...

A cation exchange matrix with zwitterionic and multimodal properties was synthesized by a simple reaction sequence coupling sulfanilic acid to a chitosan based support. The novel chromatographic matrix was physico-chemic...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chitosan (CH)-based nanocomposite coating applications [chitosan+TiO2 (CHT) and chitosan+TiO2+rosmarinic acid (CHTRA)] on changes in quality attributes of rai...

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glucose oxidase (GOX) immobilized on magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (MCNP) on the viability of probiotic bacteria and the physico-chemical properties of dr...

Abstract Background Nanodelivery represents a promising strategy to enhance pesticide efficacy while reducing associated environmental risks. Mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) can serve as effective nanocarriers but i...

This study investigates the complementary modulation of chitosan/keratin hydrogels through the combined use of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and Pluronic F-68, aiming to tailor mechanical stability, porosity, and biol...

The study was conducted at laboratory experiment included a completely randomized design (CRD) to study the efficiency of NPK-Chitosan fertilizers derived from shrimp shells with a ratio of1:1,1:2and 1:3 (NPK-Chitosan) (...
