Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Ceriodaphnia quadrangula ephippia chitosan
(Editura Ars Docendi, 2016)
The chitosan from ephippia of Ceriodaphnia quadrangula (Crustaceae) has been fully characterized in our previous study, and in this work it was tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities against human and fish ...
Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta)
(Korean Soc Biotechnology & Bioengineering, 2015)
This study examined two gregarious Orthoptera species (Calliptamus barbarus and Oedaleus decorus) as potential sources of chitin. The chitin content of the dry weight of C. barbarus was 20.5 +/- 0.7%, and it was 16.5 +/- ...
New chitin, chitosan, and O-carboxymethyl chitosan sources from resting eggs of Daphnia longispina (Crustacea); with physicochemical characterization, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities
(Korean Soc Biotechnology & Bioengineering, 2014)
The paper describes the isolation and characterization of chitin and chitosan from Daphnia longispina resting eggs harvested from a reservoir. Resting eggs are fertilized eggs that are encased in chitinous shells called ...
Conversion of waste parasitic insect (Hylobius abietis L.) into antioxidative, antimicrobial and biodegradable films
(Tech Science Press, 2019)
Hylobius abietis is a plant parasitic insect belonging to the order Coleoptera and which causes severe damages to coniferous forests in Northern and Eastern Europe. This current study is aimed to provide a new viewpoint ...
Production and characterization of chitosan-fungal extract films
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
A fungal extract obtained from an edible species (Tricholoma terreum) was used to produce chitosan-based films. Fungal extracts were analyzed using HPLC and chitosan-based films were characterized with FT-IR, SEM, DSC and ...
Use of sea urchin spines with chitosan gel for biodegradable film production
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
In recent years, the film production from natural polymers has considerably increased in food industry as an alternative to the petroleum based synthetic films. Chitosan is one of the most preferred biopolymers for bio-based ...
Diatomite as a novel composite ingredient for chitosan film with enhanced physicochemical properties
(Elsevıer Scıence Bv, 2017)
Practical applications of biopolymers in different industries are gaining considerable increase day by day. But still, these biopolymers lack important properties in order to meet the industrial demands. In the same regard, ...
Physicochemical characterization of chitin and chitosan obtained from resting eggs of ceriodaphnia quadrangula (branchiopoda: Cladocera: daphniidae)
(Crustacean SOC, 2014)
Chitin and chitosan were produced from the structures of the resting eggs of Ceriodaphnia quadrangula (Muller, 1785), of which tons are naturally produced in a dammed lake. On a dry weight basis, 16-17% chitin and 11% ...
Porous and nanofiber alpha-chitosan obtained from blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) tested for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities
(Elsevier, 2016)
Chitin was isolated using the classical chemical method from the shell of Callinectes sapidus. The chitin content in the dry weight of the crab shells was determined as 12.1%. Total chitosan yield was recorded as 76%. The ...
