In seed technology, the use of biocompatible materials, such as chitosan, has been demonstrated to improve germination process and establishment seedlings. This research is focused on effect a chitosan coating development sesame bean plantlets. The seeds were treated with different techniques combinations chitosan: solutions at 0.1, 0.5 1% used in film coating, flakes particle sizes 1.19 mm 0.7...

Background: Curcuma longa generally known as turmeric includes curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids as components, which are known to have antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Iron, magnetite, and hematite as a micronutrient play an important role in physiological and chemical processes. Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin and is recognized as versatile ...

Background: Chicken fillets contain essential amino acids besides many minerals and vitamins, which are necessary for maintaining life and promoting growth. Moreover, it is low in calories and cholesterol; therefore, it can be used for feeding infants, young children, and some patients. Methods: Chicken fillets were initially coated by dipping in different concentrations of chitosan (1.0%, 1.5...

most consumers prefer natural coatings to the chemical ones to act as an enhancement of storage quality of fruits. in this research, quality of thomson oranges coated with chitosan-clay nano composite edible coating plus fungicide-wax chemical coating was compared with a non-coated sample during storage for a period of 3 months through a factorial design (3×4). orange samples were kept in a col...

Nanochitosan is a nanoparticle of chitosan with size between 100-400 nm. has higher antibacterial ability than ordinary chitosan. The manufacture into nanochitosan can be done by ionic gelation method, namely the complexation polyelectrolyte positively charged and negatively sodium tripolyphosphate. morphology in form whole sphere typical functional groups such as amine, hydroxyl carboxyl group...

Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of low viscosity chitosan on S. epidermidis growth and biofilm formation. Methods and Results. The antibacterial and antibiofilm properties were investigated, during both planktonic growth and biofilm formation. This was performed using different concentrations in media and by coating on polystyrene surfa...

In this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. Fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). Following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?C and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. The weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA)...

Inhibition and inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus, the pathogen involved inthe post-contamination of oysters, was studied using chitosan. Raw oysters were coatedwith 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% chitosan, dissolved in 0.5% hydrochloric acid with pH adjustedto 5.6 using 1N NaOH. Oysters without coating were used as the control. All samples were stored at 4 °C for 12-15 days. The outg...

Vaginal infections are associated with high recurrence, which is often due to a lack of efficient treatment of complex vaginal infections comprised of several types of pathogens, especially fungi and bacteria. Chitosan, a mucoadhesive polymer with known antifungal effect, could offer a great improvement in vaginal therapy; the chitosan-based nanosystem could both provide antifungal effects and ...

Chitosan is known for its hemostatic and antimicrobial properties and might be useful for temporary coating of removable dentures or intraoral splints to control bleeding after oral surgery or as a supportive treatment in denture stomatitis. This study investigated a new method to adhere chitosan to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). There were 70 cylindrical s...
