Interaction of chitosan and mucin in a biomembrane model environment
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2012)
Chitosans have been widely exploited in biological applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering, especially owing to their mucoadhesive properties, but the molecular-level mechanisms for the chitosan action ...
Chitosan affects total nutrient digestion and ruminal fermentation in Nellore steers
(2015-01-01)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of chitosan on dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites in Nellore steers. Eight ruminally cannulated Nellore steers (540±28.5kg ...
Histological evaluation of chitosan-based biomaterials used for the correction of critical size defects in rat's calvaria
(Wiley-liss, 2010-04-01)
Chitosan, a biopolymer obtained from chitin, and its derivates, such as chitosan hydrochloride, has been reported as wound healing accelerators and as possible bone substitutes for tissue engineering, and therefore these ...
Novel active packaging based on films of chitosan and chitosan/quinoa protein printed with chitosan-tripolyphosphate-thymol nanoparticles via thermal ink-jet printing
(Elsevier, 2016)
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd.New active packaging films based on chitosan (Qo) and a blend of Qo and quinoa-protein (EPQ) were developed. The films were printed with chitosan-tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (NQos) and NQos loaded ...
Electrostatic Interactions Are Not Sufficient to Account for Chitosan Bioactivity
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)
Recent studies involving chitosan interacting with phospholipid monolayers that mimic cell membranes have brought molecular-level evidence for some of the physiological actions of chitosan, as in removing a protein from ...
Chitosan, sisal cellulose, and biocomposite chitosan/sisal cellulose films prepared from thiourea/NaOH aqueous solution
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010)
Environmentally friendly biocomposites were successfully prepared by dissolving chitosan and cellulose in a NaOH/thiourea solvent with subsequent heating and film casting. Under the considered conditions, NaOH/thiourea led ...
Amphipathic chitosans improve the physicochemical properties of siRNA-chitosan nanoparticles at physiological conditions
(2019-07-15)
Chitosan has received a lot of attention as a carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA), due to its capacity for complexation and intracellular release of these molecules. However, one of its limitations is its insolubility ...
Fluoride removal from water by chitosan derivatives and composites: a review
(Elsevier, 2011-02)
Fluoride is an essential element, indispensable for maintenance of dental health. Nevertheless, fluoride concentrations in drinking water above 1.5 mg L−1 may be detrimental to human health. Many methods have been developed ...
EQUILIBRIUM AND KINETIC STUDIES OF PHENOL SORPTION BY CHITOSAN COATED MONTMORILLONITE
(Sociedad Chilena de Química, 2009)
Chitosan-based delivery systems for plants: a brief overview of recent advances and future directions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-17)
Chitosan has been termed as the most well-known of these biopolymers, receiving widespread attention from researchers in various fields mainly, food, health, and agriculture. It is a deacetylated derivative of chitin, ...
