Extraction of high thermally stable and nanofibrous chitin from Cicada (Cicadoidea)
(Wiley, 2018)
Due to the increasing interest in natural biopolymers including chitin, the exploitation of economic and easily accessible chitin sources with good physicochemical properties is nowadays required. In view of this fact, in ...
Novel, multifunctional mucilage composite films incorporated with cellulose nanofibers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019)
In the current study, mucilage composite films were produced by incorporating the cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) at different concentrations i.e., 3 and 6% to chia mucilage matrix by solution casting method. To evaluate the ...
Production and characterization of chitosan based edible films from Berberis crataegina's fruit extract and seed oil
(Elsevier, 2018)
Chitosan-based edible films were prepared by supplementing Berberis crataegina DC.'s seed oil and fruit extract into chitosan matrix. The produced films have characterized both physiochemically (SEM, DSC, FT-IR, UV-vis, ...
Antioxidative and antimicrobial edible chitosan films blended with stem, leaf and seed extracts of Pistacia terebinthus for active food packaging
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018)
Methanol extracts of stem, leaf, and seed obtained from Pistacia terebinthus which are rich in phenolic compounds were used for the first time to produce chitosan-based antioxidative and antimicrobial films. All the produced ...
Determination of bovine serum albumin adsorption capacity of newly obtained cellulose extracted from glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice)
(Wıley, 2018)
Exploration of biodegradable and renewable composites ingredients is of great importance. Up to now, roots extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra has been used for different medicinal purposes but remaining cellulose-rich residues ...
Incorporation of sporopollenin enhances acid-base durability, hydrophobicity, and mechanical, antifungal and antioxidant properties of chitosan films
(Elsevier, 2017)
Sporopollenin-chitosan blend films were produced for the first time. Sporopollenin is a robust structural component of plant pollens exhibiting excellent features such as nontoxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, ...
Sponge-derived natural bioactive glass microspheres with self-assembled surface channel arrays opening into a hollow core for bone tissue and controlled drug release applications
(Elsevier, 2021)
Porous, bioactive microspheres have always been a dream material to biomedical scientists for bone regeneration and drug delivery applications due to their interconnectivity, unique pore geometry, encapsulation ability and ...
Chitosan loses innate beneficial properties after being dissolved in acetic acid: Supported by detailed molecular modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
Chitosan, which is obtained via deacetylation of chitin, has a variety of uses in agriculture, food, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Industrial chitosan is in a gel form, which is produced by dissolving in acetic ...
On chemistry of γ-chitin
(ELSEVIER SCI, 2017)
The biological material, chitin, is present in nature in three allomorphic forms: alpha, beta and gamma. Whereas most studies have dealt with alpha- and beta-chitin, only few investigations have focused on gamma-chitin, ...
Production of novel chia-mucilage nanocomposite films with starch nanocrystals; An inclusive biological and physicochemical perspective
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019)
In the current study, chia mucilage composite films with starch nanocrystals (3% and 6%) were produced. The films were analyzed physicochemically (FT-IR, AFM, TGA, DSC), mechanically (Tensile strength and contact angle) ...
