Abstract
In this paper, the size-controllable nano‑silver particles (AgNPs) were synthesized from walnut green husk polysaccharide, and its cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity were evaluated. Firstly, acidic polysaccharide WGHP2 was extracted from walnut green husk, and then the silver ion in AgNO3 was reduced in WGHP2 aqueous solution using NaBH4, so as to synthesize the nano‑silver composite. The nano‑silver composite was characterized by transmission electron microscope, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, scanning electron microscope, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that AgNPs stabilized by WGHP2 are mainly regular spheres with an average particle size distribution of 15.04-19.23 nm. The particle size distribution and morphology of AgNPs changed with the concentration of silver precursor, which is related to the dispersion of silver precursor in polysaccharide aqueous solution and the formation of AgO coordination bond between silver precursor and polysaccharide molecules. These coordination bonds changed the ability of nanoparticles to produce and release Ag+, and thus regulated their antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity, as evidenced by the experimental result of the cytotoxicity of the nano‑silver particle against PC12 cells and the bacteriostatic effect on E.coli and S.aureus. Conclusively, WGHP2-Ag has good stability, antibacterial activity and low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
In order to reduce the waste of Akebia trifoliata peel and maximize its utilization, in this study, on the basis of a single-factor experiment and the response surface method, the optimum technological conditions for the extraction of soluble dietary fiber from Akebia trifoliata peel with the compound enzyme method were obtained. The chemical composition, physical and chemical properties, structural characterization and biological activity of the purified soluble dietary fiber (AP-SDF) from the Akebia trifoliata peel were analyzed. We discovered that that the optimum yield was 20.87% under the conditions of cellulase addition 600 U/g, enzymolysis time 100 min, solid-liquid ratio 1:24 g/mL and enzymolysis temperature 51 °C. At the same time, AP-SDF was a porous network structure cellulose type I acidic polysaccharose mainly composed of arabinoxylan (36.03%), galacturonic acid (27.40%) and glucose (19.00%), which possessed the structural characteristic peaks of the infrared spectra of polysaccharides and the average molecular weight (Mw) was 95.52 kDa with good uniformity. In addition, the AP-SDF exhibited high oil-holding capacity (15.11 g/g), good water-holding capacity and swelling capacity, a certain antioxidant capacity in vitro, hypoglycemic activity in vitro for α-glucosidase inhibition and hypolipidemic activity in vitro for the binding ability of bile acids and cholesterol. These results will provide a theoretical basis for the development of functional products with antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects, which have certain application value in related industries.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are one problem in health since the therapeutic alternative are reduced. For this, the application of nanotechnology through functionalized nanoparticles, like a biogenic silver nanoparticle (Bio-AgNP), obtained by biological synthesis, emerges as a possible alternative against the MDR bacteria. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of Bio-AgNP obtained for biological synthesis by Fusarium oxysporum strain 551 against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and MDR coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) isolates. Bio-AgNP has activity against S. aureus ATCC 25904, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984, and MDR isolates, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 3.75 to 15 μg.mL-1 and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) from 7.5 to 30 μg.mL-1. In the membrane leakage assay, it was observed that all concentrations tested led to proteins release from the cellular content dose-dependently, where the highest concentrations led to higher protein in the supernatant. The 2×MIC of Bio-AgNP killed ATCC 35984 after 6h of treatment, and ATCC 25904 and S. aureus (SA3) strains after 24h of treatment. The 4×MIC was bactericidal in 6h of treatment for all strains in the study. The biofilm of MDR isolates was inhibited in 80.94 to 100% and eradicated in 60 to 94%. The confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis demonstrated similar results to the antibiofilm assays. The Bio-AgNP has antibacterial and antibiofilm activity and can be a promising therapeutic alternative against MDR bacteria.

Abstract
Ethanol-induced acute gastric injury is a prevalent type of digestive tract ulcer, yet conventional treatments strategies frequently encounter several limitations, such as poor bioavailability, degradation of enzymes and adverse side effects. Gallic acid (GA), a natural compound extracted from dogwood, has demonstrated potential protective effects in mitigating acute gastric injury. However, its poor stability and limited bioavailability have restricted applications in vivo. To address these issues, we report a hydrogel constructed only by gallic acid with high bioavailability for alleviation of gastric injury. Molecular dynamic simulation studies revealed that the self-assembly of GA into hydrogel was predominantly attributed to π-π and hydrogen bonds. After assembling, the GA hydrogel exhibits superior anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammatory properties compared with free GA. As anticipated, in vitro experiments demonstrated that GA hydrogel possessed the remarkable ability to promote the proliferation of GES-1 cells, and alleviates apoptosis and inflammation caused by ethanol. Subsequent in vivo investigation further confirmed that GA hydrogel significantly alleviated ethanol-triggered acute gastric injury. Mechanistically, GA hydrogel treatment enhanced the antioxidant capacity, reduced oxidative stress while simultaneously suppressing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced the production of pro-apoptotic proteins during the process of gastric injury. Our finding suggest that this multifunctional GA hydrogel is a promising candidate for gastric injury, particularly in cases of ethanol-induced acute gastric injury.

Abstract
Wound healing remains a considerable challenge due to its complex inflammatory microenvironment. Developing novel wound dressing materials with superior wound repair capabilities is highly required. However, conventional dressing hydrogels for wound healing are often limited by their complex cross-linking, high treatment costs, and drug-related side effects. In this study, we report a novel dressing hydrogel constructed only by the self-assembly of chlorogenic acid (CA). Molecular dynamic simulation studies revealed the formation of CA hydrogel was mainly through non-covalent interactions, such as π-π and hydrogen bond. Meanwhile, CA hydrogel exhibited superior self-healing, injectability, and biocompatibility properties, making it a promising candidate for wound treatment. As expected, in vitro experiments demonstrated that CA hydrogel possessed remarkable anti-inflammatory activity, and its ability to promote the generation of microvessels in HUVEC cells, as well as the promotion of microvessel formation in HUVEC cells and proliferation of HaCAT cells. Subsequent in vivo investigation further demonstrated that CA hydrogel accelerated wound healing in rats through regulating macrophage polarization. Mechanistically, the CA hydrogel treatment enhanced the closure rate, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization while simultaneously suppressing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of CD31 and VEGF during the wound healing process. Our findings indicate that this multifunctional CA hydrogel is a promising candidate for wound healing, particularly in cases of impaired angiogenesis and inflammatory responses.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:1518.

Abstract
This study aimed to gain an understanding of the possible function of NACs by examining their physicochemical properties, structure, chromosomal location, and expression. Being a family of plant-specific transcription factors, NAC (petunia no apical meristem and Arabidopsis thaliana ATAF1, ATAF2, and CUC2) is involved in plant growth and development. None of the NAC genes has been reported in Akebia trifoliata (Thunb.) Koidz (A. trifoliata). In this study, we identified 101 NAC proteins (AktNACs) in the A. trifoliata genome by bioinformatic analysis. One hundred one AktNACs were classified into the following twelve categories based on the phylogenetic analysis of NAC protein: NAC-a, NAC-b, NAC-c, NAC-d, NAC-e, NAC-f, NAC-g, NAC-h, NAC-i, NAC-j, NAC-k, and NAC-l. The accuracy of the clustering results was demonstrated based on the gene structure and conserved motif analysis of AktNACs. In addition, we identified 44 pairs of duplication genes, confirming the importance of purifying selection in the evolution of AktNACs. The morphology and microstructure of early A. trifoliata seed development showed that it mainly underwent rapid cell division, seed enlargement, embryo formation and endosperm development. We constructed AktNACs co-expression network and metabolite correlation network based on transcriptomic and metabolomic data of A. trifoliata seeds. The results of the co-expression network showed that 25 AtNAC genes were co-expressed with 233 transcription factors. Metabolite correlation analysis showed that 23 AktNACs were highly correlated with 28 upregulated metabolites. Additionally, 25 AktNACs and 235 transcription factors formed co-expression networks with 141 metabolites, based on correlation analysis involving AktNACs, transcription factors, and metabolites. Notably, AktNAC095 participates in the synthesis of 35 distinct metabolites. Eight of these metabolites, strongly correlated with AktNAC095, were upregulated during early seed development. These studies may provide insight into the evolution, possible function, and expression of AktNACs genes.

Abstract
Two herbal plants, Akebia quinata D. leaf/fruit and Clitoria ternatea L. flower, well-known in traditional medicine systems, were investigated using a non-target effect-directed profiling. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was combined with 11 different effect-directed assays, including two multiplex bioassays, for assessing their bioactivity. Individual active zones were heart-cut eluted for separation via an orthogonal high-performance liquid chromatography column to heated electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HESI-HRMS) for tentative assignment of molecular formulas according to literature data. The obtained effect-directed profiles provided information on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging, antibacterial (against Bacillus subtilis and Aliivibrio fischeri), enzyme inhibition (tyrosinase, α-amylase, β-glucuronidase, butyrylcholinesterase, and acetylcholinesterase), endocrine (agonists and antagonists), and genotoxic (SOS-Umu-C) activities. The main bioactive compound zones in A. quinata leaf were tentatively assigned to be syringin, vanilloloside, salidroside, α-hederin, cuneataside E, botulin, and oleanolic acid, while salidroside and quinatic acids were tentatively identified in the fruit. Taraxerol, kaempherol-3-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside, and octadecenoic acid were tentatively found in the C. ternatea flower. This straightforward hyphenated technique made it possible to correlate the biological properties of the herbs with possible compounds. The meaningful bioactivity profiles contribute to a better understanding of the effects and to more efficient food control and food safety.

Abstract
Bioactive polysaccharides have numerous pharmacological effects that are beneficial to human health. Akebia trifoliata (Thunb.) Koidz. has great development prospects as a food resource with medicinal value. The polysaccharides (ATFP) were extracted from A. trifoliata fruit by an aqueous two-phase system. ATFP-3, purified with DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-200 from ATFP, was mainly composed of glucose (47.55%) and galactose (20.39%). Its hydroxyl radical scavenging rate was 89.30% at 1.60 mg/mL and its IC50 was 0.29 mg/mL. ATFP-3 significantly enhanced the survival rate of Caenorhabditis elegans under thermal or oxidative stress. Furthermore, ATFP-3 could prolong the lifespan of C. elegans and improve the activities of the antioxidant enzyme, while also decrease the accumulation of lipofuscin and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in aging worms. Thus, ATFP-3 has application potential in health benefits for humans.

Abstract
The genus Akebia belongs to the Lardizabalaceae family and comprises five species that are primarily distributed in East Asia. Plants of the Akebia genus comprise deciduous and semi-evergreen perennial twining vines that have been used in Chinese herbal medicine for at least 2000 years. The plants of this genus have the potential to form a novel forest crop with high nutritional and economic value because their fruit has a delicious sweet taste and rich nutrient components. In this study, we organized, analyzed, and evaluated the available published scientific literature on the botanical, ecological, and phytochemical characteristics of Akebia plants. Based on these studies, we briefly introduced botanical and ecological characteristics and focused on reviewing the development and utilization of wild genetic resources in the genus Akebia. We further explored the genus' rich nutritional components, such as triterpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, and fatty acids, and their potential use in food and health improvement applications. In addition, several papers describing advances in biotechnological research focusing on micropropagation, nutrient biosynthesis, and fruit ripeness were also included. This review provides comprehensive knowledge of the Akebia genus as a new forest crop for food and fruit utilization, and we also discuss future breeding and research prospects.

Abstract
Akebia trifoliata (A. trifoliata) is a significant medicinal and edible fruit crop and has some important bioactivities. However, there are few studies on the bacteriostatic activity of A. trifoliata, and the underlying mechanism of A. trifoliata for antibacterial activity is still unknown. Therefore, the bacteriostatic activity and antibacterial mechanism of A. trifoliata were investigated by a combination of chemical assays, using the UHPLC-TOF-MS/MS technique. The results indicated that alkaloids, triterpenoids, and flavonoids are the major secondary bioactive compounds in A. trifoliata that play a crucial role in antibacterial activity. We found that EEPA exhibited both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria tested, with IZDs ranging from 13.80 ± 0.79 to 17.00 ± 0.58 mm. Significant differences in terms of sensitivity between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were not observed. In contrast, both antibiotics (kanamycin sulfate and ampicillin sodium salt) exhibited much better antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, the primary antimicrobial mechanism was that EEPA increased cellular content leakage, altered the cell morphology, and destroyed the internal cell structure. Meanwhile, MA, UA, and OA, as the common triterpenoid components existing in plants, were used to analyze the relationships between the structures and the antimicrobial activities among homologous compounds, to determine the key functional group that plays an antibacterial role in MA, UA, and OA. As result, it was found that both the hydroxide and methyl groups present are important for their antibacterial activity. These findings suggested that EEPA exerted significant antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis, and P. aeruginosa and might be a potential natural antibacterial.

Abstract
Pectin has recently attracted increasing attention as an alternative biomaterial commonly used in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. It shows several promising properties, including good biocompatibility, health benefits, nontoxicity, and biodegradation. In this research, novel nanocomposite fibers composed of folic acid-decorated carbon dots (CDs) in pectin/PEO matrix were fabricated using the electrospinning technique, which was never reported previously. Nitrogen-doped and nitrogen, sulfur-doped CDs were synthesized with average diameters of 2.74 nm and 2.17 nm using the one-step hydrothermal method, studied regarding their physicochemical, optical, and biocompatibility properties. The relative Quantum yields of N-CDs and N, S doped CDs were measured to be 54.7 % and 30.2 %, respectively. Nanocomposite fibers containing CDs were prepared, and their morphology, physicochemical properties, conductivity, drug release behavior, and cell viability were characterized. The results indicated that CDs improve fibrous scaffolds' tensile strength from 13.74 to 35.22 MPa while maintaining comparable extensibility. Furthermore, by incorporation of CDs in the prepared fibers conductivity enhanced from 8.69 × 10-9 S·m-1 to 1.36 × 10-4 S·m-1. The nanocomposite fibrous scaffold was also biocompatible with controlled drug release over 212 h, potentially promising tissue regeneration.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE 'Akebia stem' (Akebiae caulis) is one of the newest raw materials officially introduced into therapeutic practice from traditional Chinese medicine. A monograph on this material appeared for the first time in 2018 in Supplement 9.6 to the 9th edition of the European Pharmacopoeia. In the latest 10th edition of the European Pharmacopoeia, the monograph remained unchanged. The 'Akebia stem' monograph allows the use, as a raw material, of Akebia quinata (Houtt.) Decne., A. trifoliata (Thunb.) Koidz, or a mixture of the two species. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this work is a detailed review of the scientific literature on the genus Akebia (family Lardizabalaceae), with particular emphasis on A. quinata and A. trifoliata, providing information on the botanical, ecological, and chemical characteristics of these species. Professional research on their biological activity has been reviewed. The attention is given to phytochemistry and cosmetology. The traditional use of Akebia species and their potential use in medicine and cosmetology are assessed. In addition, individual papers describing biotechnology research on in vitro cultures of the two Akebia species are presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS The presented botanical, ecological, phytochemical and biotechnological characterization is based on a thorough review of published scientific research. It is a compilation and evaluation of data on the chemical composition and biological activities of these Akebia species. RESULTS This critical review of phytochemical studies demonstrates that triterpenoid saponins are dominant secondary metabolites of these species. A comparative analysis of phytochemical studies on A. quinata and A. trifoliata stems, roots, fruits, and seeds showed differences in metabolites based on the plant parts and species. The triterpenoid saponins mutongsaponin C and saponin Pj1 have been found only in A. trifoliata, whereas the phenolic glycoside 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside has been found only in A. quinata. Biological activity studies of A. quinata stem, leaf and/or fruit extracts have confirmed diuretic, hepatoregenerative, neuroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects and an influence on ethanol metabolism. Different action profiles have been demonstrated for A. trifoliata stem, leaf and/or fruit extracts. Studies have proven the antibacterial and anticancer (liver and stomach) effects of these species. This review presents potential phytopharmacological applications of both species and detailed data on their broad applications in cosmetology. Attention is also drawn to information on the safety of using Akebia. Finally, an overview of biotechnology research on both species is presented. CONCLUSIONS This review provides comprehensive knowledge about the ethnopharmacological use of Akebia species. Moreover, new findings on the differences in the chemical composition and biological activity profiles are underlined.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE "Mutong" ( in Chinese, and generally known as Akebiae Caulis), which refers to a group of herbal medicines with different biological origins along history, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years; it is still being frequently used in medicine. In recent decades, Akebiae Caulis has been reported to exhibit apparent toxicity. AIM OF THIS STUDY To clarify the plant species used as Akebiae Caulis and its synonyms, and to summarize their phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology. METHODS Academic search engines (Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, CNKI, Science Direct, Springer Link, SciFinder, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO), ancient Chinese herbals, and modern medical monographs were used to obtain phytochemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and quality control information. Furthermore, a field survey was conducted to clarify the associated species. RESULTS Akebiae Caulis is derived from eight species belonging to two families. In the 2005 Pharmacopoeia of The People's Republic of China, it has been separated into two categories: Akebiae Caulis and Clematidis Armandii Caulis. Traditionally, Akebiae Caulis has been used to treat conditions such as gonorrhea, edema, and tongue sores. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antihypertensive, antibacterial, analgesic, and other properties of Akebiae Caulis. Among the species used, Aristolochiae manshuriensis Kom. (Aristolochiaceae) contains aristolochic acid that has raised concerns globally because of its nephrotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Clarifying the biological origin of traditional herbal medicines is critical for their safe and effective use. The present review revealed that the biological origin of Akebiae Caulis is diverse. The traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of Akebiae Caulis indicate that it is a useful medical resource. The diversity of its biological and pharmacological activities is associated with the presence of a large number of chemical substances, among which terpenoids are predominant. Systematic reviews on Akebiae Caulis such as this one would provide solid references for its safe use, as well as drug discovery studies in the future.

Abstract
Antibacterial hydrogels have received attention for preventing infections and for their biomedical applications. However, traditional antibiotics-containing and metal nanoparticle-containing hydrogels often cause bacterial resistance, exhibit low biocompatibility, and lack real-time monitoring capability. Here, a fluorescent antibacterial hydrogel with antibacterial ability, excellent optical performance, and high biocompatibility was developed based on cationic carbon dots (CDs), pectin, and acrylic acid triggered construction of the hydrogel network by cross-linker. The antibacterial high-cationic CDs (+51.20 mV) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and released from hydrogel in response to broken hydrogen bonds due to a change in the ambient environment caused by the growing bacteria. The hydrogel showed long-term potent broad-spectrum antibacterial ability (even drug-resistant bacteria) due to the bacterial membrane seriously damaged by the released CDs. The inhibitory capability of this hydrogel was 108.5-fold higher than the other hydrogel. After implantation or incubation with cells, no obvious cytotoxicity or tissue toxicity was observed for the antibacterial hydrogel. This hydrogel enhanced both the application of CDs in vivo and the biosafety of hydrogel. Furthermore, the multicolor fluorescence emission produced by CD provides a potential idea for the development of dual-function hydrogels with in situ monitoring and prevention of bacterial infections to treat wounds.

Abstract
Pectin has been regarded as a drug carrier accelerating the healing process due to its bioactivities, abundance and lower cost of resources. However, a big challenge related to its practical application is its poor mechanical strength. In this study the modified Cu-based MOF containing Folic acid was synthesized and incorporated in the suitable pectin electrospun nanofibers which not only improved the copper ions release behavior but also made the fiber mat stronger, antibacterial and induce angiogenesis, fibroblast migration, and proliferation due to loaded copper ions and folic acid. The nanofibers composing of 75% pectin and 4000 kDa -PEO were chosen after morphological and mechanical characterization. Finally, the effect of MOF incorporation on the nanocomposite samples was characterized in terms of morphological, physiochemical and biological properties. The nanofibrous mats were evaluated by tensile testing, antibacterial and cytotoxicity. The release behavior of copper ions and folic acid was controlled and their burst release alleviated reducing cytotoxicity in vitro. It was found that the Young's moduli of the pectin nanofibers were improved to 19.13 MPa by the addition of Cu-based MOFs. Moreover, nanocomposite pectin nanofibers were found to be antibacterial and biocompatible. These results demonstrate that MOF-contained pectin nanofibers are promising for biomedical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Wound healing, especially of extensive full-thickness wounds, is one of the most difficult problems in clinical studies. In this study, we prepared a novel substance P (SP)-delivery system using zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles. METHODS We synthesized ZIF-8 nanoparticles using a modified biomimetic mineralization method. We then coated SP-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (SP@ZIF-8) with polyethylene glycol-thioketal (PEG-TK) to fabricate SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK nanoparticles, and encapsulated them in injectable hydrogel composed of sodium alginate and pectin and cross-linked using calcium chloride. The final hydrogel wound dressing containing SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK nanoparticles was called SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK@CA. RESULTS The fabricated ZIF-8 nanoparticles had high SP-loading efficiency. SP-release assay showed that the SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK nanoparticles maintained drug activity and showed responsive release under stimulation by reactive oxygen species. The SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK nanoparticles promoted proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts, up-regulated expression levels of inflammation-related genes in macrophages, and exhibited favorable cytocompatibility in vitro. Full-thickness excision wound models in vivo confirmed that SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK@CA dressings had excellent wound-healing efficacy by promoting an early inflammatory response and subsequent M2 macrophage polarization in the wound-healing process. CONCLUSION In conclusion, these findings indicated that SP@ZIF-8-PEG-TK@CA dressings might be useful for wound dressing applications in the clinic.

Int J Biol Macromol 2019; 141:207-217. [PMID: 31479673 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.08.257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 08/21/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The pectin (CEP) was used as matrix material to prepare Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with a green method for photocatalytic antibacterial activity in visible-light. Briefly, Ag@AgCl plasmonic hybrids were prepared in the CEP macromolecule matrix with size control, which was attributed to the stability of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the CEP. Subsequently, an effective and green two-steps approach was explored for the fabrication of CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with resource saving and environment friendly. Interestingly, more Ag+ was converted into metallic Ag in the CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO than that in the CEP-Ag@AgCl. This phenomenon was attributed that the reducibility of free hemiacetal hydroxyl groups on CEP was realized with the help of NaOH in the preparation of CEP-ZnO. In addition, the CEP chains were not obviously destroyed except for the change in the crystallinity after the preparation of the CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites, indicating that the method was non-destructive. Moreover, the pH triggered release of Zn2+ and low release of Ag+ in CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with excellent photocatalytic antibacterial activity were confirmed in this work. The proposed green process provides a new idea for the large-scale production of antibacterial pectin-based nanocomposites in industry with a low-cost.
