Umaña M, Simal S, Dalmau E, Turchiuli C, Chevigny C. Evaluation of Different Pectic Materials Coming from Citrus Residues in the Production of Films. Foods 2024; 13:2138. [PMID: 38998643 PMCID: PMC11241157 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This article explores the use of citrus residues as a source of different pectic materials for packaging film production: a water-soluble orange residue extract (WSE) (~5% pectin), semi-pure pectins extracted in citric acid (SP) (~50% pectin), and commercial pure citrus pectins (CP). First, these materials were characterized in terms of chemical composition. Then, films were produced using them pure or mixed with chitosan or glycerol through solvent-casting. Finally, antioxidant activity, functional properties (e.g., mechanical and gas barrier properties), and visual appearance of the films were assessed. WSE films showed the highest antioxidant activity but the lowest mechanical strength with the highest elongation at break (EB) (54%); incorporating chitosan increased the films' strength (Young's modulus 35.5 times higher). SP films showed intermediate mechanical properties, reinforced by chitosan addition (Young's modulus 4.7 times higher); they showed an outstanding dry O2 barrier. CP films showed a similar O2 barrier to SP films and had the highest Young's modulus (~29 MPa), but their brittleness required glycerol for improved pliability, and chitosan addition compromised their surface regularity. Overall, the type of pectic material determined the film's properties, with less-refined pectins offering just as many benefits as pure commercial ones.

Fabrication of Antibacterial and Antioxidant ZnO-Impregnated Amine-Functionalized Chitosan Bio-Nanocomposite Membrane for Advanced Biomedical Applications. Molecules 2023; 28:7034. [PMID: 37894513 PMCID: PMC10608820 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28207034] [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: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Developing a variety of safe and effective functioning wound dressings is a never-ending objective. Due to their exceptional antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and healing-promoting properties, functionalized chitosan nanocomposites have attracted considerable attention in wound dressing applications. Herein, a novel bio-nanocomposite membrane with a variety of bio-characteristics was created through the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) into amine-functionalized chitosan membrane (Am-CS). The developed ZnO@Am-CS bio-nanocomposite membrane was characterized by various analysis tools. Compared to pristine Am-CS, the developed ZnO@Am-CS membrane revealed higher water uptake and adequate mechanical properties. Moreover, increasing the ZnONP content from 0.025 to 0.1% had a positive impact on antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A maximum inhibition of 89.4% was recorded against Escherichia coli, with a maximum inhibition zone of 38 ± 0.17 mm, and was achieved by the ZnO (0.1%)@Am-CS membrane compared to 72.5% and 28 ± 0.23 mm achieved by the native Am-CS membrane. Furthermore, the bio-nanocomposite membrane demonstrated acceptable antioxidant activity, with a maximum radical scavenging value of 46%. In addition, the bio-nanocomposite membrane showed better biocompatibility and reliable biodegradability, while the cytotoxicity assessment emphasized its safety towards normal cells, with the cell viability reaching 95.7%, suggesting its potential use for advanced wound dressing applications.

Fabrication of chitosan nanocomposites loaded with biosynthetic metallic nanoparticles and their therapeutic investigation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 234:116609. [PMID: 37437861 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
The present research demonstrates the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles facilitated by Cissus quadrangularis (CQ-ZnONPs) and subsequent synthesis of chitosan-conjugated nanocomposites (CQ-CS/ZnONCs) along with their biological assessment. The biosynthesized nanoparticles and nanocomposites were physicochemically characterized and therapeutically assessed for their antioxidant, antibacterial, and antidiabetic potential. The formation of CQ-ZnONPs and CQ-CS/ZnONCs was preliminarily validated by the change in color and subsequently by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis. The crystalline peaks associated with the CQ-ZnONPs in CQ-CS/ZnONCs were established by XRD analysis. Morphological evaluation of CQ-ZnONPs and CQ-CS/ZnONCs was carried out through FE-SEM and HRTEM studies. The particle size of the CQ-ZnONPs and CQ-CS/ZnONCs was 243.3 nm and 176.6 nm, with a PDI of 0.188 and 0.199, respectively. Nanoparticles and nanocomposites expressed Zeta potential of -15.7 mV and -16.2 mV, respectively. The CQ-ZnONPs and CQ-CS/ZnONCs showed good radical effectiveness with various in-vitro assays. The formulated nanoparticles and nanocomposites displayed significant antibacterial activity against the selected bacterial pathogens. CQ-CS/ZnONCs presented noteworthy α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects compared to CQ-ZnONPs with IC50 of 73.66 ± 1.21 μg/mL and 87.59 ± 1.29 μg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the synthesized CQ-CS/ZnONCs demonstrated 98.92 ± 0.39% and 99.58 ± 0.16% wound contraction (at 7 and 14 mg, respectively), significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the standard and CQ-ZnONPs. Thus, the CQ-ZnONPs and CQ-CS/ZnONCs could effectively develop promising drug delivery systems to inhibit pathogens and chronic tissue repair.

Eco synthesized chitosan/zinc oxide nanocomposites as the next generation of nano-delivery for antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic potential, and chronic wound repair. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124764.

Abstract
The present research work aimed at synthesizing chitosan-coated Zinc oxide nanocomposites (NS-CS/ZnONCs) by a bio-inspired method using an aqueous extract of Nigella sativa (NS) seeds and employing a quality-by-design approach (Box-Behnken design). The biosynthesized NS-CS/ZnONCs were physicochemically characterized and subjected to their in-vitro and in-vivo therapeutic potential. The zeta potential value of -11.2 mV and -12.6 mV indicated the stability of NS-mediated synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (NS-ZnONPs) and NS-CS/ZnONCs, respectively. The particle size of NS-ZnONPs and NS-CS/ZnONCs were 288.1 nm and 130.2 nm, respectively, with PDI of 0.198 and 0.158. NS-ZnONPs and NS-CS/ZnONCs showed superior radical scavenging abilities, excellent α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Also, NS-ZnONPs and NS-CS/ZnONCs demonstrated effective antibacterial activity against selected pathogens. Furthermore, NS-ZnONPs and NS-CS/ZnONCs demonstrated significant (p < 0.001) wound closure with 93.00 ± 0.43 % and 95.67 ± 0.43 % on the 15th day of treatment at the dose of 14 mg/wound, compared to 93.42 ± 0.58 % of standard. Collagen turnover was represented by hydroxyproline, which was shown to be significantly (p < 0.001) higher in the NS-ZnONPs (60.70 ± 1.44 mg/g of tissue) and NS-CS/ZnONCs (66.10 ± 1.23 mg/g of tissue) treatment groups than in the control group (47.7 ± 0.81 mg/g of tissue). Thus the NS-ZnONPs and NS-CS/ZnONCs could effectively develop promising drugs to inhibit pathogens and chronic tissue repair.

Abstract
Presently, owing to the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization activities, a huge quantity of wastewater is generated that contain toxic chemical and heavy metals, imposing higher environmental jeopardies and affecting the life of living well-being and the economy of the counties, if not treated appropriately. Subsequently, the advancement in sustainable cost-effective wastewater treatment technology has attracted more attention from policymakers, legislators, and scientific communities. Therefore, the current review intends to highlight the recent development and applications of biochars and/or green nanoparticles (NPs) produced from agricultural waste via green routes in removing the refractory pollutants from water and wastewater. This review also highlights the contemporary application and mechanism of biochar-supported advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of organic pollutants in water and wastewater. Although, the fabrication and application of agriculture waste-derived biochar and NPs are considered a greener approach, nevertheless, before scaling up production and application, its toxicological and life-cycle challenges must be taken into account. Furthermore, future efforts should be carried out towards process engineering to enhance the performance of green catalysts to improve the economy of the process.

Abstract
In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) and nanohydroxyapatite (NHAP) were prepared in the presence of date palm pits extract (DPPE) and eggshells, respectively. Another four nanocomposites were prepared from ZnO and NHAP in different ratios (ZP13, ZP14, ZP15, and ZP16). DPPE and all nanomaterials were characterized using GC-MS, zeta potentials, particle size distributions, XRD, TEM, EDX, FTIR, and pHPZC. The characterization techniques confirmed the good distribution of ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of NHAP in the prepared composites. Particles were found to be in the size range of 42.3–66.1 nm. The DPPE analysis confirmed the presence of various natural chemical compounds which act as capping agents for nanoparticles. All the prepared samples were applied in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under different conditions. ZP14 exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity (596.1 mg/g) at pH 8, with 1.8 g/L as the adsorbent dosage, after 24 h of shaking time, and the static adsorption kinetic process followed a PSO kinetic model. The photocatalytic activity of ZP14 reached 91% after 100 min of illumination at a lower MB concentration (20 mg/L), at pH 8, using 1.5 g/L as the photocatalyst dosage, at 25 °C. The photocatalytic degradation of MB obeyed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood first-order kinetic model, and the photocatalyst reusability exhibited a slight loss in activity (~4%) after five cycles of application.
