[PMID: 37820901 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Polysaccharides originating from marine sources have been studied as potential material for use in wound dressings because of their desirable characteristics of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Marine-derived polysaccharides used as wound dressing, provide several benefits such as promoting wound healing by providing a moist environment that facilitates cell migration and proliferation. They can also act as a barrier against external contaminants and provide a protective layer to prevent further damage to the wound. Research studies have shown that marine-derived polysaccharides can be used to develop different types of wound dressings such as hydrogels, films, and fibres. These dressings can be personalised to meet specific requirements based on the type and severity of the wound. For instance, hydrogels can be used for deep wounds to provide a moist environment, while films can be used for superficial wounds to provide a protective barrier. Additionally, these polysaccharides can be modified to improve their properties, such as enhancing their mechanical strength or increasing their ability to release bioactive molecules that can promote wound healing. Overall, marine-derived polysaccharides show great promise for developing effective and safe wound dressings for various wound types.

Abstract
An environmentally safe, efficient, and economical microwave-assisted technique was selected for the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). To prepare uniformly disseminated AgNPs, xanthan gum (XG) was utilized as both a reducing and capping agent. UV–Vis spectroscopy was used to characterize the formed XG-AgNPs, with the absorption band regulated at 414 nm under optimized parameters. Atomic force microscopy was used to reveal the size and shape of XG-AgNPs. The interactions between the XG capping agent and AgNPs observed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The XG-AgNPs were placed in between glassy carbon electrode and Nafion® surfaces and then deployed as sensors for voltammetric evaluation of mercury ions (Hg2+) using square-wave voltammetry as an analytical mode. Required Nafion® quantities, electrode behavior, electrolyte characteristics, pH, initial potentials, accumulation potentials, and accumulation durations were all comprehensively investigated. In addition, an electrochemical mechanism for the oxidation of Hg2+ was postulated. With an exceptional limit of detection of 0.18 ppb and an R2 value of 0.981, the sensors’ measured linear response range was 0.0007–0.002 µM Hg2+. Hg2+ evaluations were ultimately unaffected by the presence of many coexisting metal ions (Cd2+, Pb2+, Cr2O4, Co2+,Cu2+, CuSO4). Spiked water samples were tested using the described approach, with Hg2+ recoveries ranging from 97% to 100%.

Abstract
Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose in nature, and it is currently under-utilized partially because of its insolubility in common solvents. Herein, chitin was propionylated to improve its dissolution in green solvents, i.e., ethanol and water, and manufactured nanofibers and nonwoven mats via electrospinning with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a co-spinning aid. Polymer solution viscosity, electrospun CP/PEO fiber morphology, mechanical, thermal, dynamic thermal, and surface contact angle of nanofiber mats were evaluated. Results showed that fibers with CP content up to 97% could be produced. The electrospun CP/PEO nanofiber mats exhibited good mechanical strength, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity with water contact angles up to 133°. Filtration test of separating carbon nanofibers and carbon nanotubes from water demonstrated the potential use of the CP/PEO nanofiber mats in fluid filtration of fibrous pollutants.

Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.

Abstract
This study describes a two-step alkali/oxidation process to efficiently convert waste sugarcane bagasse (SCB) into cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) whose structures have been characterized using a range of analytical techniques (SR-WAXS, IR, TEM and DLS). Increasing the concentration of the NaOH solution from 10 to 16 wt% in the first step results in a gradual increase in cellulose II content from 0 to >99 %, which also produces a corresponding increase in fiber crystallinity index from 32 to 61 %. Varying the concentration of NaClO used in the second oxidative step enables the morphologies of the CNF to be reliably controlled, with fiber lengths decreasing from micrometer to nanometer levels as the amount of NaClO oxidant used is increased. This simple two-step alkaline/oxidative treatment process enables SCB to be converted into CNF exhibiting different polymorphic and morphological properties, thus enabling their economic and reproducible production as nanostructured materials for numerous applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of CP and TA on stability of oil in water emulsion stabilized by the two components, so as to fabricate the most efficient chitin based emulsifying agents. It was found that there was synergistic effect for CP and TA in stabilizing emulsion, specifically, the complex of chitin particles (CP) (3 g/L) with tannic acid (TA) (2 g/L) produced the most physically and oxidatively stable oil-in-water emulsion compared with other groups in this study. This is because CP-TA (3/5) complex had the lowest zeta potential, the lowest the oil water interfacial tension, the highest viscosity and the highest content of TA with excellent antioxidant activity. Furthermore, this is because there was intense interaction between CP and TA in CP-TA complex from results of FTIR, XRD and ITC, which then result in the formation of large CP-TA particles.

Abstract
In this work, the stability of CP-TA complex stabilized emulsion was first characterized. It was found that the peak thickness, Turbiscan Stability Index (TSI) and droplet size of CP-TA complex stabilized emulsion gradually decreased with increasing content of TA, indicating the gradually enhanced physical stability of emulsion, which was attributed to the gradually decreased interfacial tension, zeta potential and increased viscosity of CP-TA complex. Moreover, the oxidative stability of CP-TA complex stabilized emulsion gradually enhanced with increasing of TA content due to the antioxidant activity of TA. XRD and FTIR results suggested that the interaction between CP and TA gradually enhanced with increasing content of TA in CP-TA complex, leading to the formation of larger CP-TA clusters shown in AFM results. In conclusion, the presence of tannic acid (TA) enhanced the physical and oxidative stability of chitin particles-tannic acid (CP-TA) complex stabilized oil in water emulsion.

Abstract
The use of cellulase hydrolysis of straw to produce fermentable sugars has many application prospects. However, cellulase is very expensive, which hampers its industrial applications. To improve cellulase's catalytic activity and reduce the enzyme cost, magnetite carboxymethyl chitosan/calcium alginate - cellulase bioconjugate (MCCCB) was synthesized via an improved hydrothermal method, molecular self-assembly technology, physical absorption, embedding and covalent bonding. Its loading capacity was 3.95mg/mL, and the catalytic activity increased to 267.18%. We decreased the release rate, improved the reusability, and enhanced the stability of MCCCB. Corn stalk hydrolysis also greatly improved, and the overall yield of fermentable sugars increased by 698.26%. All of these results indicate that MCCCB could significantly improve the efficiency of cellulase, greatly reduce the cost of enzyme, and effectively promote the production of fermentable sugars.

Abstract
The final goal of this study was to develop antimicrobial food-contact materials based on a natural phenolic compound (tannic acid) and chitin, which is the second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, using an interfacial assembly approach. Chitin film has poor antibacterial and antioxidant ability, which limits its application in industrial fields such as active packaging. Therefore, in this study, a novel one-step green procedure was applied to introduce antibacterial and antioxidant properties into a chitin film simultaneously by incorporation of tannic acid into the chitin film through interfacial assembly. The antibacterial and antioxidant behavior of chitin film has been greatly enhanced. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction were found to be the main driving forces for interfacial assembly. Therefore, controlled interfacial assembly of tannic acid onto a chitin film demonstrated a good way to develop functional materials that can be potentially applied in industry.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, we have witnessed significant progress in chitosan and chitin based nanostructured materials. The nanofibers from chitin and chitosan with appealing physical and biological features have attracted intense attention due to their excellent biological properties related to biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, low immunogenicity and wound healing capacity. Various methods, such as electrospinning, self-assembly, phase separation, mechanical treatment, printing, ultrasonication and chemical treatment were employed to prepare chitin and chitosan nanofibers. These nanofibrous materials have tremendous potential to be used as drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, wound dressing materials, antimicrobial agents, and biosensors. This review article discusses the most recent progress in the preparation and application of chitin and chitosan based nanofibrous materials in biomedical fields.
