Eugenol is widely used in food industries where it encounters major concerns such as its poor solubility and stability. Herein, a novel eugenol-nanoemulsion was prepared by using ultrasonication as emulsification techniques, chitosan nanoparticle as carrier, and surfactant, as emulsifier. The...

Bionanocomposites materials open a chance for the usage of novel, high performance, lightweight, and ecofriendly composite materials making them take place the traditional non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials. Biopolymers like polysaccharides such as chitosan (CS), carboxymethyl cellulose...

This study investigated the potential use of two edible coatings, chitosan (CH) and locust bean gum (LBG), which incorporated chemically characterized water pomegranate peel extract (WPPE) or methanol pomegranate peel extract (MPPE) and the biocontrol agent (BCA) Wickerhamomyces anomalus, to...

Edible coating solutions, containing chitosan (CH) and bamboo vinegar (BV), were developed to investigate the effect of CH-BV coating solutions on quality and shelf life of ready to cook (RTC) pork chops stored at 4±1°C for 12 days. The antioxidant effects against lipid oxidation and antimicrobial...

Objective: To explore the method of reducing the cadmium content in Scapharca subcrenatasby adding chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan and green tea brewing liquid to sea water. Methods: The Scapharca subcrenatas were randomly divided into 13 groups, which were temporarily raised in 4 L seawater, and...

Low molecular mass (MM) chitosan with high degree of deacetylation (DDA) has excellent bioactivity including antioxidant, antibacterial and encapsulation properties. In this work, to reduce the MM of chitosan, microwave-assisted heating treatment (MAHT) conditions were investigated using three...

The aim of present study was to design a controlled release system using Cuminum cyminum essential oil loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CEO-CSNPs) and evaluate its effect on catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), peroxidase (POD) activity and ascorbic acid content of Agaricus bisporus fruit...

The feasibility of active packaging from chitosan (CS) and chitosan containing nanosized titanium dioxide (CT) to maintain quality and extend storage life of climacteric fruit was investigated. The CT nanocomposite film and CS film were fabricated using a solution casting method and used as active...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CH) coatings containing Mentha spicata essential oil (MSO 0.1 and 0.2%) on survival of Listeria monocytogenes, and physicochemical (weight loss, titratable acidity and pH), microbial (total...

Solutions of chitosan (2%, w/v), garlic essential oil (5%, v/v), and their combination (2%, w/v chitosan +5%, v/v garlic essential oil) were applied to the surface of grass carp fillets. Subsequently, sensory, microbiological analyses (total viable count (TVC), Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., and ...
