[PMID: 38431399 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Sustainable recovery of chitin and its derivatives from shellfish waste will be achieved when the industrial production of these polymers is achieved with a high control of their molecular structure, low costs, and acceptable levels of pollution. Therefore, the conventional chemical method for obtaining these biopolymers needs to be replaced or optimized. The goal of the present review is to ascertain what alternative methods are viable for the industrial-scale production of chitin, chitosan, and their oligomers. Therefore, a detailed review of recent literature was undertaken, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The analysis of the existing data allows suggesting that combining conventional, biological, and alternative methods is the most efficient strategy to achieve sustainable production, preventing negative impacts and allowing for the recovery of high added-value compounds from shellfish waste. In conclusion, a new process for obtaining chitinous materials is suggested, with the potential of reducing the consumption of reagents, energy, and water by at least 1/10, 1/4, and 1/3 part with respect to the conventional process, respectively.

Abstract
Electrospinning has been acknowledged as an efficient technique for the fabrication of continuous nanofibers from polymeric based materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cellulose acetate (CA), chitin nanocrystals and others. These nanofibers exhibit chemical and mechanical stability, high porosity, functionality, high surface area and one-dimensional orientation which make it extremely beneficial in industrial application. In recent years, research on chitin - a biopolymer derived from crustacean and fungal cell wall - had gained interest due to its unique structural arrangement, excellent physical and chemical properties, in which make it biodegradable, non-toxic and biocompatible. Chitin has been widely utilized in various applications such as wound dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering, membranes, food packaging and others. However, chitin is insoluble in most solvents due to its highly crystalline structure. An appropriate solvent system is required for dissolving chitin to maximize its application and produce a fine and smooth electrospun nanofiber. This review focuses on the preparation of chitin polymer solution through dissolution process using different types of solvent system for electrospinning process. The effect of processing parameters also discussed by highlighting some representative examples. Finally, the perspectives are presented regarding the current application of electrospun chitin nanofibers in selected fields.

Abstract
Since the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in 2003, significant progress has been made in the field, specifically advancing aspects of their preparation and physicochemical characterization. Their low-cost and unique tailored properties are reasons for their growing importance as a sustainable medium for the resource-efficient processing and synthesis of advanced materials. In this paper, the significance of these designer solvents and their beneficial features, in particular with respect to biomimetic materials chemistry, is discussed. Finally, this article explores the unrealized potential and advantageous aspects of DESs, focusing on the development of biomineralization-inspired hybrid materials. It is anticipated that this article can stimulate new concepts and advances providing a reference for breaking down the multidisciplinary borders in the field of bioinspired materials chemistry, especially at the nexus of computation and experiment, and to develop a rigorous materials-by-design paradigm.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most prevalent biomass materials, and its physicochemical and biological characteristics, such as solubility, crystallinity, flocculation ability, biodegradability, and amino-related chemical processes, are directly connected to the degree of deacetylation (DD). However, the specifics about the effects of the DD on the characteristics of chitosan are still unclear up to now. In this work, atomic force microscopy-based single-molecule force spectroscopy was used to study the role of the DD in the single-molecule mechanics of chitosan. Even though the DD varies largely (17% ≤ DD ≤ 95%), the experimental results demonstrate that the chitosans exhibit the same natural (in nonane) and backbone (in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) single-chain elasticity. This suggests that chitosans have the same intra-chain hydrogen bond (H-bond) state in nonane and to which these H-bonds can be eliminated in DMSO. However, when the experiments are carried out in ethylene glycol (EG) and water, the single-chain mechanics are increased with the increases of the DD. The energy consumed to stretch chitosans in water is larger than that in EG, indicating that amino can form a strong interaction with water and induce the formation of the binding water around the sugar rings. The strong interaction between water and amino may be the key factor for the well solubility and chemical activity of chitosan. The results of this work are anticipated to provide fresh light on the significant role played by the DD and water in the structures and functions of chitosan at the single molecular level.

Abstract
Postoperative peritoneal adhesions are common complications caused by abdominal and pelvic surgery, which seriously impact the quality of life of patients and impose additional financial burdens. Using of biomedical materials as physical barriers to completely isolate the traumatic organ and injured tissue is an optimal strategy for preventing postoperative adhesions. However, the limited efficacy and difficulties in the complete degradation or integration of biomedical materials with living tissues restrict the application of these materials. In this study, novel chitin-based crosslinked hydrogels with appropriate mechanical properties and flexibilities were developed using a facile and green strategy. The developed hydrogels simultaneously exhibited excellent biocompatibilities and resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption and NIH/3T3 fibroblast adhesion. Furthermore, these hydrogels were biodegradable and could be completely integrated into the native extracellular matrix. The chitin-based crosslinked hydrogels also effectively inhibited postoperative peritoneal adhesions in rat models of adhesion and recurrence. Therefore, these novel chitin-based crosslinked hydrogels are excellent candidate physical barriers for the efficient prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions and provide a new anti-adhesion strategy for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common heterogeneous skin disease. Currently, effective primary prevention approaches that hamper the occurrence of mild to moderate AD have not been reported. In this work, the quaternized β-chitin dextran (QCOD) hydrogel was adopted as a topical carrier system for topical and transdermal delivery of salidroside for the first time. The cumulative release value of salidroside reached ~82% after 72 h at pH 7.4, while in vitro drug release experiments proved that QCOD@Sal (QCOD@Salidroside) has a good, sustained release effect, and the effect of QCOD@Sal on atopic dermatitis mice was further investigated. QCOD@Sal could promote skin repair or AD by modulating inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 without skin irritation. The present study also evaluated NIR-II image-guided therapy (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) of AD using QCOD@Sal. The treatment process of AD was monitored in real-time, and the extent of skin lesions and immune factors were correlated with the NIR-II fluorescence signals. These attractive results provide a new perspective for designing NIR-II probes for NIR-II imaging and image-guided therapy with QCOD@Sal.

Abstract
Chitin and chitosan are important support structures for many organisms and are important renewable macromolecular biomass resources. Structurally, with the removal of acetyl group, the solubility of chitosan is improved. However, the specific mechanism of solubility enhancement from chitin to chitosan is still unclear. In this study, the atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) was used to obtain the single-chain mechanical behavior of chitin and chitosan. The results show that the hydrogen (H)-bonds' state, which can be influenced by the solvent, determines the degree of binding water (solubility) of polysaccharides, and that the binding water energy of a single chitosan chain is 6 times higher than that of chitin in water. Thus, H-bonding is the key to solubility enhancement and can be used to modulate the solubility properties of chitosan. It is expected that our studies can help to understand the structural and functional properties of chitin and chitosan at the single molecule level.

Abstract
Janus porous biomaterials are gaining increasing attention and there are considerable efforts to develop simple, rapid, and scalable methods capable of tuning micro- and macro-structures. Here, a single-step electro-fabrication method to create a Janus porous film by the electrodeposition of the amino-polysaccharide chitosan is reported. Specifically, a Janus structure emerges spontaneously when electrodeposition is performed at sub-ambient temperature (0-5 °C). Sub-ambient temperature electrodeposition experiments show that: a Janus microstructure emerges (potentially as the result of a subtle alteration of the intermolecular interactions responsible for self-assembly); important microstructural features (pore size, porosity, and thicknesses) can be tuned by conditions; and this method is readily scalable (vs serial printing) and can yield complex tubular structures with Janus faces. In vitro studies demonstrate anisotropic cell guidance, and in vivo studies using a rat calvarial defect model further confirm the beneficial features of such Janus porous film for guided bone regeneration. In summary, these results further demonstrate that electro-fabrication provides a simple and scalable platform technology for the controlled functional structures of soft matter for applications in regenerative medicine.

In this study, nearly amorphous chitin is obtained by treating α-chitin with superfine grinding, and the solubility of chitin in hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) is significantly increased. Chitin and gelatin mixtures are prepared by adding different amount of gelatin to the 8mg ml-1 chitin solution. In the presence water (non-solvent), the mixtures are gelled as HFIP is replaced by water, and chitin/gelatin composite sponges with directional pore structure are prepared by directional freeze drying of the hydrogel. The structure, porosity, liquid absorbing capacity, biodegradability, and hemostatic properties of the sponges with different ratios of gelatin are investigated. The results show that the sponge with the mass ratio of chitin/gelatin of 1:1 is potential hemostatic material with high absorbing capacity, hemocompatibility, and the best hemostatic performance. The in vivo study demonstrates that hemostatic time of the composite sponge (73 s) is much shorter than of that of gauze (193 s), chitin sponge (132s) as well as gelatin sponge (116 s) in rat femoral artery injury model.

Valorization of β-Chitin Extraction Byproduct from Cuttlefish Bone and Its Application in Food Wastewater Treatment. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15082803. [PMID: 35454495 PMCID: PMC9025758 DOI: 10.3390/ma15082803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
The nontoxicity, worldwide availability and low production cost of cuttlefish bone products qualify them an excellent biocoagulant to treat food industry wastewater. In this study, cuttlefish bone liquid waste from the deproteinization step was used as a biocoagulant to treat food industry wastewater. This work concerns a waste that has never before been investigated. The objectives of this work were: the recovery of waste resulting from cuttlefish bone deproteinization, the replacementof chemical coagulants with natural ones to preserve the environment, and the enhancement ofthe value of fishery byproducts. A quantitative characterization of the industrial effluents of a Moroccan food processing plant was performed. The physicochemical properties of the raw cuttlefish bone powder and the deproteinization liquid extract were determined using specific analysis techniques: SEM/EDX, FTIR, XRD and 1H-NMR. The protein content of the deproteinization liquid was determined by OPA fluorescent assay. The zeta potential of the liquid extract was also determined. The obtained analytical results showed that the deproteinization liquid waste contained an adequate amount of soluble chitin fractions that could be used in food wastewater treatment. The effects of the coagulant dose and pH on the food industrial effluents were studied to confirm the effectiveness of the deproteinization liquid extract. Under optimal conditions, the coagulant showed satisfactory results. Process optimization was performed using the Box–Behnken design and response surface methodology. Thus, the optimal removal efficiencies predicted using this model for turbidity (99.68%), BOD5 (97.76%), and COD (82.92%) were obtained at a dosage of 8 mL biocoagulant in 0.5 L of food processing wastewater at an alkaline pH of 11.

Abstract
Non-derivatizing, high-efficiency and low-toxicity solvents are important for studying the dissolution behavior and potential applications of starch. In this study, we investigated the starch dissolution mechanism and molecular conformation in KOH/thiourea aqueous solutions and compared these with KOH/urea and KOH aqueous solutions. Solubility analysis revealed that the KOH/thiourea solution demonstrates a better ability to dissolve corn starch than KOH/urea and KOH solutions. Rheological behavior and dynamic and static light scattering indicated that starch is stable in KOH/thiourea solution and exists as a regular star structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 13C NMR, and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that hydrated K+ and OH- destroy the strong starch hydrogen bond interactions; thiourea hydrate self-assembles into a shell surrounding the starch-KOH complex through interaction with KOH, whereas there is no direct strong interaction between urea and KOH. Therefore, adding thiourea to a KOH solution can promote dissolution and prevent self-aggregation of the starch chain.

Abstract
Chitin, an abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible polysaccharide, is one of the most ideal eco-friendly alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. However, the applications of chitin-based materials are hindered by their low processability and brittleness induced by strong hydrogen bonds. Herein, a tensile-induced orientation and hydrogen bond reconstruction strategy was developed to fabricate a chitin nanowhiskers/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite film with high strength and toughness. After stretching and hydrogen bond reconstruction, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite film increased from 38.6 to 115.2 MPa and 9.37% to 40.7%, respectively. Furthermore, strengthening and toughening mechanisms were also studied, which were attributed to the effects of the intra-layer orientation and interlayer sliding, respectively.

Abstract
Some of the most abundant biomass on earth is sequestered in fibrous biopolymers like cellulose, chitin, and silk. These types of natural materials offer unique and striking mechanical and functional features that have driven strong interest in their utility for a range of applications, while also matching environmental sustainability needs. However, these material systems are challenging to process in cost-competitive ways to compete with synthetic plastics due to the limited options for thermal processing. This results in the dominance of solution-based processing for fibrous biopolymers, which presents challenges for scaling, cost, and consistency in outcomes. However, new opportunities to utilize thermal processing with these types of biopolymers, as well as fibrillation approaches, can drive renewed opportunities to bridge this gap between synthetic plastic processing and fibrous biopolymers, while also holding sustainability goals as critical to long-term successful outcomes.

Abstract
AbstractThis paper reports on the preparation and electrochemical performance of chitin- and chitin-cellulose-based hydrogel electrolytes. The materials were prepared by a casting solution technique using ionic liquid-based solvents. The method of chitin dissolution in ionic liquid with the assistance of dimethyl sulfoxide co-solvent was investigated. The obtained membranes were soaked with 1-M lithium sulfate aqueous solution. The prepared materials were preliminarily characterized in terms of structural and physicochemical properties. Further, the most promising biopolymer membranes were assembled with activated carbon cloth electrodes in symmetric electrochemical capacitor cells. The electrochemical performances of these devices were studied in a 2-electrode system by commonly known electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The devices operated at a maximum voltage of 0.8 V. All the investigated materials have shown high efficiency in terms of specific capacitance, power density, and cyclability. The studied capacitors exhibited specific capacitance values in the range of 92–98 F g−1, with excellent capacitance retention (ca. 97–98%) after 20,000 galvanostatic charge and discharge cycles. Taking into account the above information and the eco-friendly nature of the biopolymer, it appears that the prepared chitin- and chitin-cellulose-based hydrogel electrolytes can be promising components for green electrochemical capacitors.
