What are the advantages of using chitosan-based antimicrobial coatings?

Jul 5, 2012 ... Hinchcliffe, Michael (1996) The novel application of chitosan for the intranasal delivery of insulin. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham. Large scale ultrafine chitosan hybrid nanofibers containing TiO2 and/or Ag nanoparticles were prepared using a needleless electrospinning method. Used in wines, chitosan promotes clarification and inhibits unwanted fermentations, which would have a negative impact on the entire process. Furthermore ... Chitin-chitosan, when used as a food supplement, does lower plasma cholesterol and triglycerides and improves the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio. Chitosan is a sugar that comes from the outer skeleton of shellfish, including crab, lobster, and shrimp. It's used as medicine and in drug manufacturing. Biopolymers and in particular polysaccharides, of which chitosan is one, are of increasing interest to researchers. Biopolymer materials are used as ... ... used to produce crosslinked chitosan composite scaffolds (CH/BGi and CH/BGp), which were produced by lyophilization. The bioactive glass was analyzed to ... An exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is established for residues of the biological plant growth regulator poly-D-glucosamine when used as a seed ... ... used to evaluate the tumor growth rate and metastasis in vivo using bioluminescent imaging. Plasma of RFA/GC-treated tumor-bearing mice was collected for ex ... Chitosan is the versatile polymer obtained by deacetylation of natural chitin and has many uses and numerous applications in plant sciences. Properties, such as ...
