In this context, combination of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and edible chitosan coating in the microbial, biochemical, texture attributes of a highly commercially important fish silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) steak stored at refrigerated temperature (0-4°C) was investigated. The aim was...

Curcumin is a polyphenol that exhibits several biological activities, but its low aqueous solubility results in low bioavailability. To improve curcumin bioavailability, this study has focused on developing a polyelectrolyte complexation method to form layer-by-layer assembled nanoparticles, for...

A fraction of annatto is often transferred to the whey fluid during Cheddar cheese processing, which negatively impacts the visual and sensory attributes of the resultant whey powder. Alternatives to reduce the color in the powder are still needed. In this study, casein-chitosan complexes were...

Chitosan is produced by thermochemical alkaline deacetylation of chitin, but the process is usually environmentally problematic. In the present study, Illex argentinus squid pen chitin, after de-proteinization and demineralization, was pretreated with a compressional-puffing (CP) process under...

Fresh-cut mango has a short shelf life storage, which both markets and consumers would like to be longer. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the effect of chitosan (0.25-0.5% w/v) and gum arabic (1.0-5.0% w/v) to the physicochemical properties of fresh-cut mangoes to...

Coatings applied to fruit after harvesting stand as alternatives to prolong shelf life. Chitosan postharvest treatments are becoming more customary because of its already recognized fungicidal effects. Carnauba wax is a well-known fruit coating that prevents dehydration and imparts glossiness. ...

This work studies the effect of chitosan (CH) and 2,4-epibrasinolide (BRs) on total fruit yield and the content in bioactive compounds, in tomatoes cultivated in a greenhouse under high temperature conditions. Five treatments were applied: 0.1 and 1 g L^-1 CH, 10 and 30 µM BRs and a control....

Poisoning incidents caused by foodborne pathogenic bacteria often occur in dairy products, which seriously endanger people's health and cause serious economic loss. By adding natural antibacterial substances in dairy products, such as streptococcus lactate, lysozyme, chitosan, natural essential...

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are produced in large amounts worldwide and mostly are used for winemaking. Their untreated wastes are rich in valuable secondary metabolites, such as phenolics. Thus, in this study, white and red wine wastes (Malagouzia and Syrah variety) were investigated for their added...

This paper presents the versatility of chitosan in the preparation of modified electrodes without the use of other substances. We present a sensitive and selective method of speciation for the determination of rutin (RT) and morin (MR) in natural products on a screen-printed carbon electrode coated ...
