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 ...
Assessment of toxicity and oxidative DNA damage of sodium hypochlorite, chitosan and propolis on fibroblast cells
(Sociedade Brasileira De Pesquisa Odontologica, 2018)
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity on human fibroblast cell lines of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chitosan and propolis as root canal irrigating solutions. Human ...
Current advancements in chitosan-based film production for food technology; A review
(Elsevier Science Bv., 2019)
Chitosan is obtained from chitin, which could be considered to be the most abundant polymer after cellulose. Owing to these properties, chitosan alone or chitosan-based composite film production is attaining huge attention ...
Usage of natural chitosan membrane obtained from insect corneal lenses as a drug carrier and its potential for point of care tests
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Chitosan is an indispensable biopolymer for use as a drug carrier thanks to its non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible, antimicrobial, and anti-oxidative nature. In previous studies, chitosan was first dissolved into weak ...
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, ...
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 ...
Antibacterial chitosan/silk sericin 3D porous scaffolds as a wound dressing material
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Antimicrobial mixed dressings have traditionally been used to minimize bacterial infection of burns and other wounds. This study presents the advancement of biocompatible chitosan/silk sericin (CHT/SS) scaffolds combined ...
Pd nanoparticles loaded on modified chitosan-Unye bentonite microcapsules: A reusable nanocatalyst for Sonogashira coupling reaction
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
This work investigates the preparation of a catalytic complex of palladium nanoparticles supported on novel Schiff base modified chitosan-Unye bentonite microcapsules (Pd NPs@CS-UN). The complex has been characterized by ...
Chitosan nanofiber production from Drosophila by electrospinning
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the important test organisms in genetics thanks to its fast growth rate in a culture. This study demonstrates that the fly D. melanogaster can also be exploited as a source for nanofiber ...
Active nano/microbilayer hemostatic agents for diabetic rat bleeding model
(Wiley, 2017)
Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased cardiovascular risk due to the abnormality of hemostatic system components. Therefore, hemostasis is an important concept when considering that diabetics are under risk due ...
