Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePreparation of D-Phenyllactic Acid-Chitosan Biodegradable Composite Coating and Its Preservation Effect on Shine-Muscat GrapeDongxing Zhu, Guanglun Xiong, Wenli Tang et al.Considering the pollution of plastic packaging and the harm of traditional food containing sulphur to the environment and human health, the development of green and edible coating materials with biodegradable power has become the focus of attention in recent years. In this study, based on a single factor test, D-Phenyl Lactic Acid-Chitosan Biodegradable Composite Coating (PACBC) was prepared by optimizing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 23 Mar 2025 · 5,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDifferential Response of Chitosan-Pretreated Rice Cultivars at the Seedling Stage to Drought Stress on Growth and Leaf MetabolitesWasinee Pongprayoon, Sataporn Deeying, Sakchai Hongthong et al.The escalating prevalence of drought stress presents a significant obstacle to global rice cultivation, particularly in arid regions affected by climate change-induced water scarcity. Despite extensive research on the efficacy of exogenously applied chitosan in enhancing drought tolerance across various crops, there remains a gap in understanding the differential responses of chitosan-treated rice seedlings among different cultivars and different chitosan … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2024 · 5,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleControlled Delivery System for NPK Agrochemical Release from Chitosan Copolymer HydrogelsMaysam S. Mutlaq, Fawzi Habeeb JabrailChitosan (CS) the polysaccharide was copolymerized with Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) for the preparation of CS-co-PVA hydrogel and with Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) for CS-co-CMC hydrogel. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, thermal analysis (TGA and DSC), and SEM. The hydrogels were studied for agriculture applications, where their ability to swell and take large quantities of water many times its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 8 Sep 2022 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of the Toxic Effects of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles on Drosophila melanogasterDoris Vela, Jonathan Rondal, Sofía Cárdenas et al.Nanoparticles are a cause for concern because of their potential toxic effects on human health and the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the toxic effect of chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (11.00±4.7 nm) on Drosophila melanogaster through the observation of hemolymph composition, DNA damage, larval survival and lifespan of flies. Chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2020 · 7,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdsorption and Descaling of Cellucotton and Chitosan-Modified Bentonite for Produced WaterTao Yu, Ying Wang, Chengtun Qu et al.The compatibility of non-identical layers within the water present in the produced oil is poor and ion reactions in the oil mixed with water result in scale formation, thereby having a significant impact on oilfield safety production. In this study, methods for the descaling of produced water from different blocks were studied according to the quality characteristics of the produced … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 18 May 2020 · 6,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiosgenin Biosynthesis in the Sprouts of Fenugreek as Influenced by ChitosanDo Yeon Kwon, Jae Kwang Kim, Sang Un ParkTrigonella foenum-graecum L. (Fabaceae), known as Fenugreekis an annual herb, contains various secondary metabolites including steroidal saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and alkaloids. This study was planned to investigate the effect of concentrations of chitosan on growth, expression of diosgenin biosynthetic genes and diosgenin accumulation in sprouts of T. foenum-graecum. Results revealed that there is no positive response of chitosan in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 2 May 2019 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKinetics and Adsorption Isotherm of Ibuprofen onto Grafted β-CD/Chitosan PolymerHashem Bany-Aiesh, Raid Banat, Khaldoun Al-Sou’odThe adsorption of the Ibuprofen (Ibu) drug on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) grafted chitosan polymer was studied under different experimental conditions. The effect of Ibu concentration, mass of β-CD grafted chitosan polymer as adsorbent, contact time, temperature and pH were investigated. Three equilibrium models, Langmuier, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were analyzed to evaluate the adsorption isotherms. The adsorption isotherms were best … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 20 Nov 2015 · 7,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCHITOSAN NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN DRUG DELIVERY: A REVIEWSharare Najafi, Zahra Pazhouhnia, Omid Ahmadi et al.Chitosan is one of the most popular materials in the field of drug delivery due to its adhesivity and biodegradability. Different types of Chitosan based drug carriers have been conceived for various administration routes, such as oral, nasal, transdermal, parenteral, vaginal, cervical and rectal due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Chitosan Nanoparticles (NPs) have long been studied as carriers for … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 8 Nov 2014 · 14,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTURNING WASTE INTO USABLE PRODUCTS: A CASE STUDY OF EXTRACTING CHITOSAN FROM BLUE CRABCamille Webster, Oghenekome Onokpise, Michael Abazinge et al.The purpose of this project was to develop a practical and cost efficient alternative to the current disposal of seafood waste in the North Florida region. Fortuitously, due to an unusually high turnover rate, this reconceptualization study may have turned seafood waste into a hot commodity. At least that is one conclusion one can draw from these findings. Indeed, over … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Jun 2014 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
