Understanding the effects of chitosan, chia mucilage, levan based composite coatings on the shelf life of sweet cherry
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruits are prone to quality and quantity loss in shelf-life conditions and cold storage due to their short post-harvest life. Until now efforts have been made to extend the shelf life of the ...
15-15-15 gübresinin kitosan ile kaplanması ve elde edilen toz malzemelerin karakterizasyonu
(Aksaray Üniversitesi, 2021)
Gübrelerin polimerler ile kaplanarak daha yavaş ve uzun süre salınımı hem ekonomik hem de çevre kirliliğinin önüne geçilmesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Atık kerevit kabuklarından üretilen kitosanın biyolojik orijinli ...
Physicochemical and in vitro cytotoxic properties of chitosan from mushroom species (Boletus bovinus and Laccaria laccata)
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019)
Chitosan samples from two mushroom species (Boletus bovinus, Laccaria laccata) were obtained and characterized by viscosimetry, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), elemental ...
Bat guano as new and attractive chitin and chitosan source
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)
Introduction: Chitin is a biopolymer that forms the exoskeleton of arthropods, and is found in the cell walls of fungi. It has a wide range of uses in fields such as cosmetics, pharmacy, medicine, bioengineering, agriculture, ...
Extraction and characterization of alpha-chitin and chitosan from six different aquatic invertebrates
(Springer, 2014)
Chitin and chitosan were extracted from six different aquatic invertebrate species. Species dry weights varied between 5 % and 20 % chitin, and the chitosan productivity of these chitins varied between 66 % and 74 %. Chitin ...
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 ...
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 +/- ...
Preparation and characterisation of biodegradable pollen-chitosan microcapsules and its application in heavy metal removal
(Elsevier, 2015)
Biosorbents have been widely used in heavy metal removal. New resources should be exploited to develop more efficient biosorbents. This study reports the preparation of three novel chitosan microcapsules from pollens of ...
Chitosan coating of red kiwifruit (Actinidia melanandra) for extending of the shelf life
(Elsevier, 2016)
Commercial production of red kiwifruit (Actinidia melanandra) has been unsuccessful because of its short shelf life. Here in this study, we used chitosan to extend the shelf life of red kiwifruit berries. Chitosan (with ...
Microbial biofilm activity and physicochemical characterization of biodegradable and edible cups obtained from abdominal exoskeleton of an insect
(Elsevier Ltd., 2016)
A contemporary focus in food industry is the use of edible bio-based products with properties such as antimicrobial and biodegradable to replace the synthetic harmful petroleum-based polymers. Among the natural polysaccharides, ...
