Abstract
Fish gelatin (FG)-based wound dressings exhibit superior water absorption capacity, thermal stability, and gelation properties, which enhance the performance of these dressings. In this study, our objective was to investigate the conditions underlying the enzymatic hydrolysis of FG and subsequent cross-linking to prepare high-performance gels. A two-step enzymatic method of protease-catalyzed hydrolysis followed by glutamine transglutaminase (TGase)-catalyzed cross-linking was used to prepare novel high-performance fish gelatin derivatives with more stable dispersion characteristics than those of natural gelatin derivatives. Compared with conventional TGase cross-linked derivatives, the novel derivatives were characterized by an average pore size of 150 μm and increased water solubility (423.06% to 915.55%), water retention (by 3.6-fold to 43.89%), thermal stability (from 313 °C to 323 °C), and water vapor transmission rate, which reached 486.72 g·m-2·24 h-1. In addition, loading glucose oxidase onto the fish gelatin derivatives increased their antibacterial efficacy to >99% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127399. [PMID: 37827415 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Pushed by the environmental pollution and health hazards of plastic packaging, the development of biodegradable food packaging films (FPFs) is a necessary and sustainable trend for social development. Most protein molecules have excellent film-forming properties as natural polymer matrices, and the assembled films have excellent barrier properties, but show defects such as low water resistance and poor mechanical properties. In order to improve the performance of protein-based films, transglutaminase (TG) is used as a safe and green cross-linking (CL) agent. This work covers recent developments on TG cross-linked protein-based FPFs, mainly comprising proteins of animal and plant origin, including gelatin, whey protein, zein, soy proteins, bitter vetch protein, etc. The chemical properties and reaction mechanism of TG are briefly introduced, focusing on the effects of TG CL on the physicochemical properties of different protein-based FPFs, including barrier properties, water resistance, mechanical properties and thermal stability. It is concluded that the addition of TG can significantly improve the physical and mechanical properties of protein-based films, mainly improving their water resistance, barrier, mechanical and thermal properties. It is worth noting that the effect of TG on the properties of protein-based films is not only related to the concentration of TG added, but also related to CL temperature and other factors. Moreover, TG can also be used in combination with other strategies to improve the properties of protein-based films.

Current and Expected Trends for the Marine Chitin/Chitosan and Collagen Value Chains. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:605. [PMID: 38132926 PMCID: PMC10744996 DOI: 10.3390/md21120605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitin/chitosan and collagen are two of the most important bioactive compounds, with applications in the pharmaceutical, veterinary, nutraceutical, cosmetic, biomaterials, and other industries. When extracted from non-edible parts of fish and shellfish, by-catches, and invasive species, their use contributes to a more sustainable and circular economy. The present article reviews the scientific knowledge and publication trends along the marine chitin/chitosan and collagen value chains and assesses how researchers, industry players, and end-users can bridge the gap between scientific understanding and industrial applications. Overall, research on chitin/chitosan remains focused on the compound itself rather than its market applications. Still, chitin/chitosan use is expected to increase in food and biomedical applications, while that of collagen is expected to increase in biomedical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutritional applications. Sustainable practices, such as the reuse of waste materials, contribute to strengthen both value chains; the identified weaknesses include the lack of studies considering market trends, social sustainability, and profitability, as well as insufficient examination of intellectual property rights. Government regulations, market demand, consumer preferences, technological advancements, environmental challenges, and legal frameworks play significant roles in shaping both value chains. Addressing these factors is crucial for seizing opportunities, fostering sustainability, complying with regulations, and maintaining competitiveness in these constantly evolving value chains.

POLYMER EDITION 2023; 34:1771-1792. [PMID: 36803519 DOI: 10.1080/09205063.2023.2182577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
A series of mussel-inspired pH-responsive self-healing hydrogels based on gelatin crosslinked by oxidized tannic acid (GLT-OTAs) were prepared and used as controlled drug delivery systems (CDDS). An antiphlogistic drug, indomethacin (IDMC) was used as model drug to be immobilized into the hydrogels. The obtained hydrogel samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mechanical stability, biocompatibility and self-healing property of the hydrogels were estimated, respectively. Swelling and drug release behaviors of these hydrogels were measured in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with pH 7.4 (simulated intestinal fluid) and HCl solution with pH 1.2 (simulated gastric fluid) at 37 °C. Effect of the OTA content on the structures and characteristics of all samples was discussed. FTIR spectra revealed the covalent cross-linking between gelatin and OTA induced by Michael addition and Schiff base reaction. Both XRD and FTIR all showed the drug (IDMC) was loaded successfully and existed steadily. GLT-OTA hydrogels had satisfactory biocompatibility, superior self-healing. Results also illustrated that the mechanical strength, internal structure, the swelling and drug release behaviors of the GLT-OTAs hydrogel were greatly affected by the OTA content. With increasing the OTA content, the mechanical stability of GLT-OTAs hydrogel became better and better, and their internal structure became more and more compact. The swelling degree (SD) and cumulative drug release of all hydrogel samples tended to decrease with increasing OTA content and both had obvious pH responsiveness. For each hydrogel sample, the cumulative drug release in PBS at pH 7.4 was greater than that in HCl solution at pH 1.2. These results indicated that the obtained GLT-OTAs hydrogel had promising potential to be used as effective pH-responsive and self-healing drug delivery materials.
