Effect of Eggshell on Mechanical Properties of Epichlorohydrin Cross-linked Chitosan/Eggshell Composites
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The effect of eggshell particles on the mechanical properties of epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan/eggshell composites had been studied. The content of eggshell particles in each composites was varied from 2.5 to 13.4% (w/w). The tensile strength was 60% improved, compared to the control chitosan. The composite with 13.4% (w/w) content of eggshell particles showed the optimum tensile strength. The XRD patterns exhibited the decrease in peak intensity of chitosan at 2q = 20o due to the addition of epichlorohydrin as a crosslinking agent of chitosan and incorporation of eggshell particles to crosslinked chitosan. The peak intensity at 2q = 44o was increased due to the addition of eggshell particles. Scanning elecron microscopy images confirmed the eggshell particles was dispersed into chitosan matrix.

Polymorphisms in Ion Transport Genes Are Associated with Eggshell Mechanical Property
Eggshell mechanical property traits such as eggshell breaking strength (ESS), eggshell thickness (EST) and eggshell weight (ESW) are most common and important indexes to evaluate eggshell quality in poultry industry. Uterine ion transporters involve in eggshell formation and might be associated with eggshell mechanical property traits. In this study, 99 SNPs in 15 ion transport genes were selec...
متن کاملEffect of Replacing Bone Ash with Eggshell Meal on Nutrient Digestibility and Blood Parameters of Broiler Chickens
One hundred and eighty 28-days-old Arbor Acres broiler birds were utilized in a 28 day experiment to investigate the effect of replacing bone ash with eggshell meal in the diet of broiler birds on their nutrient digestibility and blood parameters. Five experimental diets tagged T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were formulated to be isocaloric (2865.53 kcal ME/kg) and isonitrogenous (20% crude protein) suc...
متن کاملEggshell Matrix Proteins and Natural Defenses of the Egg
The chicken eggshell proteins have been largely investigated during the last decade. Proteins and associated genes have been identified and characterized. Various experimental evidences suggest a role for eggshell matrix proteins during mineralization. Indeed, novel specific eggshell matrix proteins are only expressed in tissues where eggshell mineralization takes place and some are highly stim...
متن کاملChanges in eggshell mechanical properties, crystallographic texture and in matrix proteins induced by moult in hens.
The effect of moult on eggshell mechanical properties, on composition and concentrations of organic matrix components and on eggshell microstructure was investigated. The observed changes were studied to understand the role of organic matrix and eggshell microstructure in eggshell strength. Moult was induced by zinc oxide (20 g zinc/kg diet) in 53 ISA Brown laying hens at 78 weeks of age. No di...
متن کاملInfluence of the microstructure on the shell strength of eggs laid by hens of different ages.
1. The eggshell is a bioceramic material constructed of columnar calcite crystals preferentially oriented with their c-axis perpendicular to the shell surface. 2. The influence of microstructure (crystal size, shape and crystallographic orientation of crystal grains) on the mechanical properties of eggshells (shell strength) was investigated using eggs from hens of different ages. 3. There was ...
