Synthesis and characterization of novel histidine functionalized chitosan nanoformulations and its bioactivity in tomato plant. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15118. [PMID: 38956171 PMCID: PMC11219782 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64268-1] [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: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The use of novel active ingredients for the functional modification of chitosan nanoformulations has attracted global attention. In this study, chitosan has been functionalized via histidine to craft novel chitosan-histidine nanoformulation (C-H NF) using ionic gelation method. C-H NF exhibited elite physico-biochemical properties, influencing physiological and biochemical dynamics in Tomato. These elite properties include homogenous-sized nanoparticles (314.4 nm), lower PDI (0.218), viscosity (1.43 Cps), higher zeta potential (11.2 mV), nanoparticle concentration/ml (3.53 × 108), conductivity (0.046 mS/cm), encapsulation efficiency (53%), loading capacity (24%) and yield (32.17%). FTIR spectroscopy revealed histidine interaction with C-H NF, while SEM and TEM exposed its porous structure. Application of C-H NF to Tomato seedling and potted plants through seed treatment and foliar spray positively impacts growth parameters, antioxidant-defense enzyme activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, and chlorophyll and nitrogen content. We claim that the histidine-functionalized chitosan nanoformulation enhances physico-biochemical properties, highlighting its potential to elevate biochemical and physiological processes of Tomato plant.

Chitosan-based multifunctional oxygenating antibiotic hydrogel dressings for managing chronic infection in diabetic wounds. Biomater Sci 2024; 12:3458-3470. [PMID: 38836321 PMCID: PMC11197983 DOI: 10.1039/d4bm00355a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Current treatment strategies for infection of chronic wounds often result in compromised healing and necrosis due to antibiotic toxicity, and underlying biomarkers affected by treatments are not fully known. Here, a multifunctional dressing was developed leveraging the unique wound-healing properties of chitosan, a natural polysaccharide known for its numerous benefits in wound care. The dressing consists of an oxygenating perfluorocarbon functionalized methacrylic chitosan (MACF) hydrogel incorporated with antibacterial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB). A non-healing diabetic infected wound model with emerging metabolomics tools was used to explore the anti-infective and wound healing properties of the resultant multifunctional dressing. Direct bacterial bioburden assessment demonstrated superior antibacterial properties of hydrogels over a commercial dressing. However, wound tissue quality analyses confirmed that sustained PHMB for 21 days resulted in tissue necrosis and disturbed healing. Therefore, a follow-up comparative study investigated the best treatment course for antiseptic application ranging from 7 to 21 days, followed by the oxygenating chitosan-based MACF treatment for the remainder of the 21 days. Bacterial counts, tissue assessments, and lipidomics studies showed that 14 days of application of MACF-PHMB dressings followed by 7 days of MACF dressings provides a promising treatment for managing infected non-healing diabetic skin ulcers.

Abstract
This study focuses on creating new forms of biomimetic nanofiber composites by combining copolymerizing and electrospinning approaches in the field of nanomedicine. The process involved utilizing the melt polymerization of proline (Pr) and hydroxyl proline (Hyp) to synthesize polymers based on Pr (PPE) and Hyp (PHPE). These polymers were then used in a grafting copolymerization process with chitosan (CS) to produce PHPC (1560 ± 81.08 KDa). A novel electrospun nanofiber scaffold was then produced using PHPC and/or CS, hyaluronic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, and naringenin (NR) as a loading drug. Finally, Mouse Dermal Fibroblast (MDF) cells were introduced to the wound dressing and assessed their therapeutic potential for wound healing in rats. The scaffolds were characterized by FTIR, NMR, DSC, and SEM analysis, which confirmed the amino acid grafting, loading drug, and porous and nanofibrous structures (>225 nm). The results showed that the PHPC-based scaffolds were more effective for swelling/absorption of wound secretions, had more elasticity/elongation, faster drug release, more MDF-cytocompatibility, and antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant S. aureus compared to CS-based scaffolds. The in vivo studies showed that NR in combination with MDF can accelerate cell migration/proliferation, and remodeling phases of wound healing in both PHPC/CS-based scaffolds. Moreover, PHPC-based scaffolds promote collagen content, and better wound contraction, epithelialization, and neovascularization than CS-based, showing potential as wound-dressing.

Abstract
Vessel normalization has proved imperative in tumor growth inhibition. In this work, biopolymer-based hybrid nanospheres capable of normalizing blood vessels were designed to improve the therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. Zn0.4Fe2.6O4 nanoparticles (ZFO NPs) were synthesized, and were encapsulated in cross-inked chitosan (CS) along with a nitric oxide (NO) precursor, DETA NONOate, forming hybrid ZFO/NO@CS nanospheres highly stable in physiological environment. The structure, morphology and size of the nanospheres were characterized. The ZFO/NO@CS nanospheres could release NO under acidic conditions typical of intratumoral and intracellular environment. The results of related factors expression, wound healing and tube formation assays demonstrated that both the encapsulated ZFO NPs and the released NO were able to inhibit angiogenesis in tumors. The ZFO/NO@CS nanospheres enhanced the antitumor efficacy of the chemotherapeutic drug DOX by normalizing tumor vessels, as evidenced by in vivo experiments for CT26 tumor-bearing mice. By analyzing the contents of Fe in the tumor and different organs, the nanospheres were found to accumulate primarily at the tumor site. The blood analysis showed little side effect of the nanospheres. The ZFO/NO@CS nanospheres have great potential in improving tumor therapeutic effect when used in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this cost-effectiveness analysis was to estimate the monetary cost required to achieve a gain in health benefit. An analytic model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a topical medical device comprising a mixture of hyaluronic acid and amino acids (HA+AA medical device) (Vulnamin, Professional Dietetics SpA, Italy) as compared to standard of care (SoC) for hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds is presented. METHOD Retrospective data was analysed from a cohort of patients as well as information from published literature. For each paper, the following information was extracted: number of patients enrolled in each treatment arm and the results of prespecified reviewed outcomes. RESULTS A total of six studies involving 378 patients were included in this pooled analysis. Findings showed that treatment with the HA+AA medical device has the potential to lower consumption of resources. With regards to wound healing, in both superficial and deep wounds, treatment benefits of the HA+AA medical device included: rapid wound size reduction; faster healing; reduction of dressing changes; reduced infection risk; and reduced treatment costs. Results showed the HA+AA medical device to be 32% more cost-effective than comparators in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds (time horizon selected=six months). CONCLUSION The findings of this analysis showed that treatment with the HA+AA medical device is a valid alternative to SoC care because it is cheaper, and its utility and effectiveness are greater. In addition, the results of the analysis showed a direct relationship between the time to complete healing and the increase in costs (increasing the period of time to reach complete healing increases the costs associated with the treatment).

Abstract
Presently, the preference for chitosan (CS) and gum polysaccharides in biomedical applications including drug delivery and wound healing has been extensively documented. Despite this, the demerits of CS and gum polysaccharides such as poor mechanical properties, degradation rate, swelling, etc., limit their applications for designing biocomposite films for drug delivery. Therefore, the anticipated work aims to design a CS and neem gum polysaccharides (NGP) polyelectrolyte complex-based allantoin (AT)-loaded (CS/NGP-AT) biocomposite film for improved wound healing. In brief, CS, NGP, and CS/NGP-AT-based biocomposite films were prepared using the solvent-casting method, and in-vitro, ex-vivo, and in-vivo characterizations were performed to assess the performance of these biocomposite films compared to their counterparts. In this, diffractogram and thermogram analysis assured the conversion of crystalline AT into an amorphous form. The optimized CS/NGP/AT-3 formulation exhibited controlled water absorption, appropriate water uptake capacity, good water retention ability, excellent water vapor transmission rate, controlled degradation rate, enhanced mechanical properties, cell and blood biocompatibility, etc. Furthermore, it offered improved antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant potential. The optimized film provided a modified release (88.3 ± 0.3 %) of AT from the film for up to 48 h. Wound healing experiments on rats and their histopathology studies confirmed a significantly higher rate of wound recovery within 14 days compared to the control and CS/NGP film, attributable to the combined effects of CS, NGP, and AT. In conclusion, the fabricated CS/NGP-based biocomposite film presents promising prospects as an excellent candidate for wound healing applications.

The growing interest in bio-derived macromolecules and their composites is driven by their environmentally friendly qualities, renewable nature, minimal carbon footprint, and widespread availability in our ecosystem. Capitalizing on these unique attributes, specific composites can be tailored and enhanced for potential utilization in the realm of tissue engineering (TE). This review predominantly concentrates on the present research trends involving TE scaffolds constructed from polysaccharides, proteins and glycosaminoglycans. It provides an overview of the prerequisites, production methods, and TE applications associated with a range of biological macromolecules. Furthermore, it tackles the challenges and opportunities arising from the adoption of these biomaterials in the field of TE. This review also presents a novel perspective on the development of functional biomaterials with broad applicability across various biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the last ten years, remarkable characteristics and a variety of functionalities have been created in biopolymeric materials for clinical dental applications. This review gives an overview of current knowledge of natural biopolymers (biological macromolecules) in terms of structural, functional, and property interactions. Natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides (chitosan, bacterial cellulose, hyaluronic acid, and alginate) and polypeptides (collagen and silk fibroin) have been discussed for dental uses. These biopolymers exhibit excellent properties alone and when employed with other composite molecules making them ideal for treatment of periodontitis, endodontics, dental pulp regeneration and oral wound healing. These biopolymers together with the composite materials exhibit better biocompatibility, inertness, elasticity and flexibility which makes them a leading candidate to be used for other dental applications like caries management, oral appliances, dentures, dental implants and oral surgeries.

Abstract
Peach gum (PG) is a valuable polymeric feedstock for developing eco-friendly, bio-safe, and functional materials. However, PG has limited use in food packaging due to its inferior mechanical and antibacterial properties. To overcome these limitations, we created a dual cross-linked network by introducing chitosan (CS) and glycerol to the PG matrix. Our research discovered that incorporating CS into the PG matrix significantly improved its Young's modulus, from 277.62 to 925.89 MPa, and its tensile strength from 5.96 to 39.94 MPa. Furthermore, the inclusion of glycerol greatly increased the elongation. These enhancements were attributed to the ionic and hydrogen-bonding interactions between the two biopolymers. Additionally, the composite films exhibited strong antibacterial effects, reducing the total number of colonies by 99.2 % and 99.9 % against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively. The incorporation of CS resulted in more amorphous films, enhancing their stiffness, flexibility, and barrier properties. To assess the practical application of PG/CS composite films, we conducted a comparative analysis between non-packaged strawberries and strawberries packaged with these films. The results demonstrated that the composite polyelectrolyte film extended the shelf life of strawberries better than the non-packaged fruits.

Abstract
Chronic cutaneous wounds present a significant challenge for healthcare providers globally, with the risk of bacterial infections emerging as a particularly concerning issue. There is an increasing need to employ a combination of diverse antibacterial strategies to address infections comprehensively in chronic wounds. This study introduces a highly efficient antibacterial platform that encapsulates the NO precursor (BNN6) into β-cyclodextrin-modified hemin-bearing polydopamine nanoparticles called NO/CHPDA. These nanoparticles are seamlessly integrated into a hydrogel composite comprised of L-arginine grafted chitosan (Arg-CS) and oxide dextrans (oDex). The amalgamation of photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and nitric oxide (NO) antibacterial strategies within the NO/CHPDA@Arg-CS/oDex nanocomposite hydrogel demonstrates a synergistic and highly effective capacity to eradicate bacteria and accelerate the wound healing process in vivo. Remarkably, this nanocomposite hydrogel maintains excellent biocompatibility and induces minimal side effects. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel represents a promising therapeutic solution for treating bacterial infections in wound healing applications.

Facile fabrication and biological investigations of metal oxides intercalated in kaolinite clay-based dressing material to improve wound healing ability in nursing care after post-operative period. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25289. [PMID: 38333785 PMCID: PMC10850521 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The present investigation aims to design and development of hybrid zinc oxide (ZnO) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) doped-biopolymer matrix-based cost-effective technique for the synthesis of biocompatible Kaolinite/Chitosan (Ka/CS) nanocomposites (NCs) could be used as agents for wound healing due to their efficiency and low toxicity. The crystallite size, phase purity and surface morphology of the synthesised NCs were investigated systemic analytical methods. The results revealed that the metal oxide nanocomposites presented that in rod-crystalline in shape and additionally exhibits that 20-30 nm in size. In vitro antibacterial analyses demonstrates that NCs have significantly improved bactericidal inhibition efficiency when compared to the bare hybrid NPs and polymeric components. The in vitro biocompatibility observation demonstrates that prepared hybrid-NPs encapsulated NCs have enhanced cell survival rate (>90 %), which was established by MTT assay and Live/Dead fluorescence assay methods at different incubation time. The DPPH assay was used to investigate the synergistic effects of prepared dressing materials increased antioxidant activity. Preliminary research indicates that these nanocomposites, ZnO/MnO2 incorporated and decorated with Ka/CS NCs, could be a significant promoter and potential candidate for use as a robust wound healing agent in post-operative nursing care.

Wound microenvironment-responsive dually cross-linked nanofibrillar peptide hydrogels for efficient hemostatic control and multi-faceted wound management. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129133. [PMID: 38171439 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129133] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
The wound microenvironment-responsive hydrogel, featuring a dually cross-linked architecture, offers distinct advantages in the realm of drug delivery due to its exceptional mechanical properties and responsiveness to stimuli. In this investigation, a versatile dually cross-linked hydrogel was synthesized. The initial framework was established through non-covalent interactions employing a self-assembling peptide indomethacin-Gly-Phe-Phe-Tyr-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp (abbreviated as IDM-1), while the second framework underwent chemical cross-linking of chitosan (CS) mediated by genipin. This dually-network arrangement significantly bolstered the structure, proving effective for hemostatic control. In addition, hydrogels can be triggered for degradation by proteases highly expressed in the wound microenvironment, releasing drugs like indomethacin (IDM) and CS. This characteristic introduced efficient multi-faceted wound management in vitro and in vivo, such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, ultimately augmenting the wound healing process. Thus, the development of a dually cross-linked hydrogel that enables smart drug release triggered by specific wound microenvironment presents considerable potential within the realm of wound management.

Abstract
Inadequate angiogenesis and inflammation at the wound site have always been a major threat to skin wounds, especially for diabetic wounds that are difficult to heal. Therefore, hydrogel dressings with angiogenesis and antibacterial properties are very necessary in practical applications. This study reported a hydrogel (PCA) based on L-arginine conjugated chitosan (CA) and aldehyde functionalized polysaccharides of Phellinus igniarius (OPPI) as an antibacterial and pro-angiogenesis dressing for wound repair in diabetes for the first time. and discussed its possible mechanism for promoting wound healing. The results showed that PCA had good antioxidant, antibacterial, biological safety and other characteristics, and effectively promoted the healing course of diabetic wound model. In detail, the H&E and Masson staining results showed that PCA promoted normal epithelial formation and collagen deposition. The Western blot results confirmed that PCA decreased the inflammation by inhibiting the IKBα/NF-κB signaling pathway and enhanced angiogenesis by adjusting the level of HIF-1α. In conclusion, PCA is a promising candidate for promoting wound healing in diabetes. Graphic abstract.

Abstract
Wound infection arising from pathogenic bacteria brought serious trouble to the patient and medical system. Among various wound dressings that are effective in killing pathogenic bacteria, antimicrobial composites based on bacterial cellulose (BC) are becoming the most popular materials due to their success in eliminating pathogenic bacteria, preventing wound infection, and promoting wound healing. However, as an extracellular natural polymer, BC is not inherently antimicrobial, which means that it must be combined with other antimicrobials to be effective against pathogens. BC has many advantages over other polymers, including nano-structure, significant moisture retention, non-adhesion to the wound surface, which has made it superior to other biopolymers. This review introduces the recent advances in BC-based composites for the treatment of wound infection, including the classification and preparation methods of composites, the mechanism of wound treatment, and commercial application. Moreover, their wound therapy applications include hydrogel dressing, surgical sutures, wound healing bandages, and patches are summarized in detail. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of BC-based antibacterial composites for the treatment of infected wounds are discussed.

Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharide and its derivatives are known for their diverse biological activities. In this study, we communicate a convenient one-pot synthesis of N,N-dimethyl chitosan oligosaccharide (DMCOS) from chitin via acid-catalyzed tandem depolymerization-deacetylation-N-methylation pathway using formaldehyde as the methylation reagent. The synthesis protocol offers 77 % DMCOS that features a high degree of deacetylation, a high degree of methylation, and a low average molecular weight. Compared to chitosan, DMCOS exhibits superior antifungal activity against Candida species. Mechanism study reveals a previously non-reported hydroxyl group-assisted effect that facilitates the reductive amination reaction under strong acidic conditions. Overall, our findings demonstrate the feasibility of direct synthesis of DMCOS from chitin, highlighting its potential use in anti-fungal applications.

Impact of molecular weight and deacetylation degree of chitosan on the bioaccessibility of quercetin encapsulated in alginate/chitosan-coated zein nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124876.

Abstract
This work aimed at studying the effect of molecular weight (MW) and degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan on the quercetin bioaccessibility encapsulated in alginate/chitosan-coated zein nanoparticles (alg/chiZN). The chitosan coating layer produced nanoparticulate systems with good stability parameters, high encapsulation efficiency (EE) and a higher bioaccessibilty of quercetin after in-vitro digestion. By increasing the DD of chitosan, the ζ-potential of the colloidal system significantly increased (≥27.1 mV), while low and very low MW chitosans generated systems with smaller particle sizes (≤ 277.8 nm) and polydispersity index [PDI (0.189)]. The best results, in terms of EE (≥84.44) and bioaccessibility (≥76.70), were obtained when the systems were prepared with low MW chitosan and high DD. Thus, the alg/chiZN nanocapsules may be a promising delivery system for improving the quercetin bioaccessibility or other compounds with a similar chemical nature, especially when higher DD and lower MWs are used.

Abstract
Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer with vast applications in pharmacology, medicine, paper making, agriculture, and the food industry due to its low toxicity. Chitosan also plays an important role in the sustainable environment since chitosan is able to absorb greenhouse gases, harmful organic matter, and heavy ions. Therefore, this paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of chitosan for sustainable development using the Scopus database from 1976 to 2023. A performance analysis on the 8002 documents was performed with Harzing's Publish or Perish. Science mapping was conducted using VOSviewer. The annual publication on chitosan for sustainable development showed an upward trend in recent years as the annual publication peaked in 2022 with 1178 documents with most of the documents being articles and published in journals. Material science, chemistry, and engineering are tightly related subject areas. China had the highest publication of 1560 total documents while the United States had the most impactful publication with 55,019 total citations, 68.77 citations per document, 77.6 citations per cited document, h-index 110, and g-index of 211. India had the largest international collaboration with 572 total link strength. "International Journal of Biological Macromolecules", "Carbohydrate Polymers", and "Polymers" have been identified as the top three source titles that publish the most documents on chitosan for sustainable development. The emerging trends in chitosan on sustainable development focus on the application of chitosan as an antibacterial agent and biosorbent for contaminants, especially in water treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been the material of choice for regenerative medicine applications due to their biocompatibility that can facilitate cellular attachment and proliferation. The present study aimed at constructing a porous hydrogel composite scaffold (chitosan, sodium alginate and elastin) for the repair of chronic skin wounds. Chitosan-based hydrogel incorporating varying concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles i.e. ZnO-NPs (0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 % w/w) as the antimicrobial agent tested against Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) exhibited good antibacterial activities. ZnO-NPs were characterized by UV visible spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Fabricated gels were characterized by SEM analysis, FTIR, XRD, swelling ratio, degradation behavior and controlled release kinetics of ZnO-NPs. In vitro cytocompatibility of the composite was investigated using human adipose stem cells (ADSCs) by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, further assessed by SEM analysis and PKH26 staining. The SEM and XRD analysis confirmed the successful loading of ZnO-NPs into these scaffolds. Fluorescence PKH26 stained images and SEM analysis of ADSCs seeded scaffolds revealed biocompatible nature. The findings suggested that the developed composite gels have potential clinically for tissue engineering and chronic wound treatment.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are a major concern for global health, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. As their occurrence is correlated with age and age-related comorbidities, their incidence in the population is set to increase in the forthcoming years. This burden is further worsened by the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which causes wound infections that are increasingly hard to treat with current antibiotics. Antimicrobial bionanocomposites are an emerging class of materials that combine the biocompatibility and tissue-mimicking properties of biomacromolecules with the antimicrobial activity of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles. Among these nanostructured agents, zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most promising for its microbicidal effects and its anti-inflammatory properties, and as a source of essential zinc ions. This review analyses the most recent developments in the field of nano-ZnO–bionanocomposite (nZnO-BNC) materials—mainly in the form of films, but also hydrogel or electrospun bandages—from the different preparation techniques to their properties and antibacterial and wound-healing performances. The effect of nanostructured ZnO on the mechanical, water and gas barrier, swelling, optical, thermal, water affinity, and drug-release properties are examined and linked to the preparation methods. Antimicrobial assays over a wide range of bacterial strains are extensively surveyed, and wound-healing studies are finally considered to provide a comprehensive assessment framework. While early results are promising, a systematic and standardised testing procedure for the comparison of antibacterial properties is still lacking, partly because of a not-yet fully understood antimicrobial mechanism. This work, therefore, allowed, on one hand, the determination of the best strategies for the design, engineering, and application of n-ZnO-BNC, and, on the other hand, the identification of the current challenges and opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Aims: Chitosan, like docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), is used in medicine as a wound healing accelerator. Thus, in this study, chitosan-alginate (CA) membranes containing DHA and MSCs were produced, and their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against burn infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated.Methods: Physicochemical properties were assessed by SEM, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Porosity, cytocompatibility, and antibacterial and antibiofilm activities were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The viability and apoptosis of MSCs were studied using flow cytometry. Wound healing effects were analyzed based on histopathological features, the wound contraction rate (WCR) ratio, and bacterial clearance.Results: The CA membranes showed antibiofilm activity both in vivo and in vitro, accompanied by reduced lasI and rhlI expressions and pyocyanin production. The membranes were highly porous and biocompatible and showed favorable physicochemical properties. Docosahexaenoic acid incorporation to CA membranes improved their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities, as well as MSCs' viability by reducing crystallinity and increasing porosity (p = .008). Treatment with CA-DHA-MSC accelerated burn wound healing (with complete healing being observed after 14 days, WCR = 85%) and augmented antibacterial and antibiofilm activities in vivo compared to CA-DHA and CA-MSC. The CA-DHA-MSC group delivered a significantly higher WCR and lower inflammation than the CA-MSC group (p = .0001).Conclusion: In combination with DHA-loaded CA membranes, MSCs reduced the healing time of burn wounds, offering a viable option for designing effective wound dressings.

Then, the prepared vancomycin (VAN)-loaded carrier was fully packed in a lattice of beta-cyclodextrin (BCD). For cell adhesion, beta-cyclodextrin has been functionalized with guanidine (Gn) groups within in situ synthetic processes. Afterward, drug loading efficiency and the release patterns were investigated through precise analytical methods. Confocal microscopy has shown that the prepared cargo (formulated as [VAN@Fe3O4/MOF-199]BCD-Gn) could be attached to the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial cells in a higher rate than the individual VAN. The presented system considerably increased the antibacterial effects of the VAN with a lower dosage of drug. The cellular experiments such as the zone of inhibition and optical density (OD600) have confirmed the enhanced antibacterial effect of the designed cargo. In addition, the MIC/MBC (minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations) values have been estimated for the prepared cargo compared to the individual VAN, revealing high antimicrobial potency of the VAN@Fe3O4/MOF-199]BCD-Gn cargo.

Abstract
The diabetic wound is excessively vulnerable to infection because the diabetic wound suggests delayed and incomplete healing techniques. Presently, wounds and ulcers related to diabetes have additionally increased the medical burden. A diabetic wound can impair mobility, lead to amputations, or even death. In recent times, advanced drug delivery systems have emerged as promising approaches for enhancing the efficacy of wound healing treatments in diabetic patients. This review aims to provide an overview of the current advancements in drug delivery systems in managing chronic diabetic wound healing. This review begins by discussing the pathophysiological features of diabetic wounds, including impaired angiogenesis, elevated reactive oxygen species, and compromised immune response. These factors contribute to delayed wound healing and increased susceptibility to infection. The importance of early intervention and effective wound management strategies is emphasized. Various types of advanced drug delivery systems are then explored, including nanoparticles, hydrogels, transferosomes, liposomes, niosomes, dendrimers, and nanosuspension with incorporated bioactive agents and biological macromolecules are also utilized for chronic diabetes wound management. These systems offer advantages such as sustained release of therapeutic agents, improved targeting and penetration, and enhanced wound closure. Additionally, the review highlights the potential of novel approaches such as antibiotics, minerals, vitamins, growth factors gene therapy, and stem cell-based therapy in diabetic wound healing. The outcome of advanced drug delivery systems holds immense potential in managing chronic diabetic wound healing. They offer innovative approaches for delivering therapeutic agents, improving wound closure, and addressing the specific pathophysiological characteristics of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Biomass-originated materials are the future's next-tier polymers. This work suggests improving mechanical and barrier properties of nature-sourced polymers using non-covalent supramolecular interactions. Polysaccharide chitosan is modified with amino acids via an esterification pathway using a systematic variation of hydrogen bond and aromatic domains (Degrees of substitution 12-49%). These controlled modifications improve stability due to non-covalent interactions, resulting in biopolymers with tailored thermal (decomposition temperature 232-275 °C), mechanical (Young's modulus 540-2667 MPa), and surface properties (roughness 4-40 nm). Chitosan and natural amino acids that are already manufactured at scale are purposely selected. The facile synthesis, controlled properties, stimuli-responsive potential, and inexhaustible origin of the raw materials provide the presented findings with the potential to become the method for the formation of high-performance biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based polymers that can be used in packaging, food, agriculture, and medicine.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and its physical integrity must be maintained for body homeostasis and to prevent the entry of pathogenic microorganisms. Sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are two polymers widely used in films for wound dressing applications. Furthermore, blends between SA and PVA improve physical, mechanical and biological properties of the final wound healing material when compared to the individual polymers. Different drugs have been incorporated into SA/PVA-based films to improve wound healing activity. It is noteworthy that SA/PVA films can be crosslinked with Ca2+ or other agents, which improves physicochemical and biological properties. Thus, SA/PVA associations are promising for the biomedical field, as a potential alternative for wound treatment. This review focuses on the main techniques for obtaining SA/PVA films, their physical-chemical characterization, drug incorporation, and the advantages and challenges of these films for wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing has long been a major medical challenge. The type of dressing is an essential factor in wound healing, prevention of local infection, and scar formation. Today, smart wound dressings or wound healing patches can precisely control drug delivery to the target tissue and prevent this significant complication. Nanofiber (NF) wound dressings are effective in reducing wound scarring and helping to speed up the healing process for DFU. The electrospun NFs have a suitable surface topography, density, and three-dimensional structure, which can be considered an efficient method to produce a substrate for tissue engineering and wound healing. Chitosan (CS) is one of the most well-known biopolymers in wound healing tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. The unique properties of CS make it suitable for biomedical applications. Based on new studies in the field of hemostatic and antimicrobial effects of CS in controlling bleeding and wound healing and application of NF wound dressings, the purpose of this study is a review relevant works on CS-based NFs to improve the DFU.

Abstract
In this work, novel cross-linked chitosan by the G1 dendrimer from condensation of melamine and toluene-2,4-diisocyante terminated by sulfamic acid groups (CS-TDI-Me-TDI-NHSO3H), as a bio-based and heterogeneous acidic organocatalyst, was designed and prepared. Also, the structure of the prepared organocatalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis/derivative thermogravimetry (TGA/DTA). Subsequently, the catalytic performance of the biobased and dendritic CS-TDI-Me-TDI-NHSO3H, as a multifunctional solid acid, was evaluated for the preparation of 2,3-dihydroquinazoline derivatives through a three-component reaction by following green chemistry principles. Some of the advantages of this new protocol include high to excellent yields and short reaction times as well as easy preparation and remarkable catalyst stability of the introduced acidic organocatalyst. The CS-TDI-Me-TDI-SO3H catalyst can be used for up to five cycles for the preparation of quinazoline derivatives with a slight decrease in its catalytic activity.

Abstract
The therapeutic application of nasal powders requires the development of novel mucoadhesive excipients. Thiolated polymers exhibit significant potential for this purpose based on their increased mucoadhesion attributable to the formation of disulfide bonds between the polymer and mucus surface. A chitosan-cysteine (chit-cyst) conjugate was synthesized using 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide in aqueous solution. The synthetic yield and synthesis conditions were optimized, and the efficiency of the reaction was evaluated. Rheological measurements revealed that the polymer derivative exhibited increased mucoadhesive properties in comparison to chitosan powder. To characterize the polymer, a novel purity investigation method was developed and verified to investigate the residual l-cysteine content. The results revealed that l-cysteine was not detectable in the resultant polymer matrix. Based on the cytotoxicity studies, chit-cyst was found to be safe for nasal application. Thereafter, nasal powder formulations were prepared using the polymer and the antiparkinsonian drug levodopa methyl ester hydrochloride by freeze-drying to investigate their nasal applicability. Based on the in vitro studies, these powders might be suitable for reducing the off periods of Parkinson's disease because of their expected higher in vivo mucoadhesion.

Abstract
Chitosan, a naturally abundant cationic polymer, is chemically composed of cellulose-based biopolymers derived by deacetylating chitin. It offers several attractive characteristics such as renewability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi, etc., because of which it is receiving immense attention as a biopolymer for a plethora of applications including drug delivery, protective coating materials, food packaging films, wastewater treatment, and so on. Additionally, its structure carries reactive functional groups that enable several reactions and electrochemical interactions at the biomolecular level and improves the chitosan’s physicochemical properties and functionality. This review article highlights the extensive research about the properties, extraction techniques, and recent developments of chitosan-based composites for drug, gene, protein, and vaccine delivery applications. Its versatile applications in tissue engineering and wound healing are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for chitosan in biomedical applications are elucidated.

Abstract
The main aim of the study was to determine the effect of two polysaccharides: chitosan (Ch) and hyaluronic acid (HA), and/or titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the structure and behaviour of the 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) membrane. To achieve this goal the surface pressure as a function of the area per molecule (π-A) isotherm for the phospholipid monolayer was recorded. The shape of the π-A isotherms and compression-decompression cycles, as well as the compression modulus values, were analysed in terms of biocompatibility. Besides, morphology and thickness of the phospholipid layers obtained by means of Brewster angle microscope at different π, were determined. The obtained results show that both polysaccharides Ch, HA, as well inorganic TiO2 affect slightly the structure of the DOPC monolayer but do not disrupt it. Their presence brings no typical arrangements of both the polar heads and tails of DOPC molecules at the interface.

Abstract
In this paper we present a novel strategy to easily prepare biodegradable chitosan derived films as new packaging systems. Combination of chitosan, adipic acid and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methyl-morpholinium chloride (DMTMM) allowed to obtain high-performing cross-linked films. Biobased glycerol was employed as plasticizer. An in-depth study was performed on ten different samples in order to evaluate the role of DMTMM as cross-linking agent. Experimental data showed that 15 wt% of DMTMM enhanced moisture content and moisture uptake (10.42% and 11.11%), water vapor permeability (0.13 10-7 g m-1 h-1 Pa-1) and good UV barrier properties. Additionally, 30 wt% of DMTMM significantly increased the tensile strength of films up to 83 MPa and elongation at break values reached 39.7%. Thermogravimetric, IR, XRD and SEM analysis confirmed that physical-mechanical properties of the obtained films were considerably improved, due to cross-linking by DMTMM, demonstrating promising properties for packaging applications.

Abstract
New three fabricated chitosan (CS) loaded with fly ash (FA) films were developed in this study. The shell waste of white shrimp was used as a precursor for the isolation of chitin and converted into chitosan by carrying out a deacetylation process. The formation of chitosan was conducted by various preparation steps deproteinization, demineralization, and deacetylation. The degree of deacetylation was found to be 95.2%. The obtained chitosan was used to prepare three different chitosan loaded-fly ash films. The prepared films contained various fly ash: chitosan ratios (2:1, FA-CSF1), (1:1, FA-CSF2), and (1:2, FA-CSF3). The obtained films were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The micrograph images of the formed films showed spherical particles with an average size of 10 µm. The surface area, adsorption-desorption properties, thermal stability, and water/fat binding features of the fabricated chitosan films were studied. The results revealed that the prepared films displayed typical BET graphs with surface areas ranging from 2.436 m2 g−1 to 8.490 m2 g−1. The fabricated FA-CSF films also showed high thermal stability at temperatures up to 284.9 °C and excellent water/fat binding capacities. The antibacterial potential of the designed films was screened against E. coli (Gram-negative) and B. cereus (Gram-positive) bacterial strains. The tested solution of CS (1%) exhibited inhibition zones for E. coli and B. cereus as 18.51 mm and 14.81 mm, respectively, while in FA solution (1%), the inhibition zones were found to be 10.16 mm, and 13.57 mm, respectively. The results encourage and open up the new and promising areas of research for applying chitosan extracted from waste materials in biological applications.

[DOI: 10.2174/1381612828666220519145859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Background:
Burn injury is considered one of the critical injuries of the skin. According to WHO (World Health Organization), approximately 3,00,000 deaths are caused each year mainly due to fire burns, with additional deaths attributed to heat and other causes of burn e.g., electric devices, chemical materials, radioactive rays, etc. More than 95% of burn injuries occur in developing countries.
Introduction:
Burn injuries have been a prominent topic of discussion in this present era of advancements. Burns are one of the common and devastating forms of trauma. Burn injuries are involved in causing severe damage to skin tissues and various other body parts triggered particularly by fire,blaze, or exposure to chemicals and heated substances. They leave a long-lasting negative impact on the patients in terms of their physical and mental health.
Method:
The various methods and bioactive hydrogels, a viable and widely utilised approach for treating chronic wounds remains a bottleneck. Many traditional approaches such as woven material, conventional antimicrobial agents, hydrogel sheets, creams are utilised in wound healing. Nowadays, lipid-based nanoparticles, nanofibres systems, and foam-based formulations heal the wound.
Result:
The prepared formulation shows wound healing activity when tested on rat model. The nanofibres containing SSD help in the burn-wound healing study on Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The healing effect on rats was examined by western blot analysis, digital camera observation, and histological analyses.
Conclusion:
Burn is also considered the most grievous form of trauma. Nowadays, several large and foam-based formulations are used in wound healing, which heals the wound better than previously existing formulations and is less prone to secondary infection. Recently, nanofiber delivery has piqued the interest of academics over the years because of its excellent features, which include an extraordinarily high surface to volume ratio, a highly porous structure, and tiny pore size.

Abstract
Cellulose/chitosan composite, as a mature commercial antibacterial dressing, is an important type of wound repair material. However, how to achieve the perfect compound of two components and improve antibacterial activity is a major, lingering issue. In this study, a bifunctional group modified bacterial cellulose (DCBC) was prepared by carboxymethylation and selective oxidation. Further, the chitosan (CS) was compounded in the network of DCBC by self-crosslinking to form dialdehyde carboxymethyl bacterial cellulose/chitosan composites (S-DCBC/CS). The aldehyde group can react with amino of CS by Schiff base reaction. The carboxyl group of DCBC and the amorphous distribution of CS molecular chains increase the antimicrobial properties of composites. The bacteriostatic rate of composites could be higher than 95%. Bacteria can be attracted onto the surface of composites, what we call it “directional adhesion antibacterial effects”. In particular, a kind of large animal wound model, deep Ⅱ degree infected scald of Bama miniature pig, was used to research the antimicrobial and healing properties of materials. The S-DCBC/CS can effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation of wound and kill the bacteria. The wound healing rate of S-DCBC/CS was up to 80% after three weeks. The composites show better antibacterial and promoting concrescence effects than traditional chitosan dressings. A network composites from dialdehyde carboxylmethyl BC with chitosan that has good antibacterial properties. Deep Ⅱ degree infected scald of Bama pig was used to research the antimicrobial and healing properties of S-DCBC/CS. The S-DCBC/CS composites could promote epidermal growth and collagen production.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus continues to be one of the most common diseases often associated with diabetic ulcers. Chitosan is an attractive biopolymer for wound healing due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, mucoadhesiveness, low toxicity, and hemostatic effect. A panel of hydrogels based on chitosan, collagen, and silver nanoparticels were produced to treat diabetic wounds. The antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity, swelling, rheological properties, and longitudinal sections of hydrogels were studied. The ability of the gels for wound healing was studied in CD1 mice with alloxan-induced diabetes. Application of the gels resulted in an increase in VEGF, TGF-b1, IL-1b, and TIMP1 gene expression and earlier wound closure in a comparison with control untreated wounds. All gels increased collagen deposition, hair follicle repair, and sebaceous glands formation. The results of these tests show that the obtained hydrogels have good mechanical properties and biological activity and have potential applications in the field of wound healing. However, clinical studies are required to compare the efficacy of the gels as animal models do not reproduce full diabetes pathology.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a natural biopolymer that has gained great interest in many research fields due to its promising biocompatibility, biodegradability, and favorable mechanical properties. The versatility of this low-cost polymer allows for a variety of chemical modifications via covalent conjugation and non-covalent interactions, which are designed to further improve the properties of interest. This review aims at presenting the broad range of functionalization strategies reported over the last five years to reflect the state-of-the art of CS derivatization. We start by describing covalent modifications performed on the CS backbone, followed by non-covalent CS modifications involving small molecules, proteins, and metal adjuvants. An overview of CS-based systems involving both covalent and electrostatic modification patterns is then presented. Finally, a special focus will be given on the characterization techniques commonly used to qualify the composition and physical properties of CS derivatives.

Abstract
Chitosan and gelatin are attractive polymeric feedstocks for developing environmentally benign, bio-safe, and functional materials. However, cost-effective methods to achieve advantageous materials properties and tailor their functionality are still lacking, but interesting. Herein, we found that physically mixing chitosan and gelatin at 1:1 (w/w) ratio resulted in materials with properties (higher Young's modulus (603.8 MPa) and tensile strength (33.6 MPa), and reduced water uptake (45%) after 6 h of water soaking) better than those of the materials based on mainly chitosan or gelatin. We attribute this synergy to the ionic and hydrogen-bonding interactions between the two biopolymers enabled by high-viscosity thermomechanical processing. Despite the lowest hygroscopicity, the 1:1 chitosan:gelatin films displayed the highest surface hydrophilicity. Besides, addition of gelatin to chitosan led to films being brighter, more transparent and amorphous. Thus, this work has generated new understanding to enhance the application of biopolymers for e.g. packaging, coating, and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The radioactive Rb+, Cs+ and Sr2+ have serious threat for the aquatic life and human health, its removal has been granted increasing concern. Hence the adsorbent with excellent adsorption performance and favourable reusability is strongly demanded. This work prepared a novel porous polymer of chitosan-g-polyacrylamide (CTS-g-PAM) by grafting the acrylamide (AM) onto the chitosan (CTS) with sufficient pore structure via an eco-friendly surfactant-free (corn oil)-in-water Pickering medium internal phase emulsion (O/W Pickering MIPE), solely stabilized by CTS. Interestingly, its pore structure could be tuned by varying the emulsion character via changing the molecular weight and concentration of CTS, as well as the pH values. Due to the abundant -COO- and -NH2 functional groups in the porous material of CTS-g-PAM, the high adsorption capacities of 195.43, 237.44 and 185.63 mg/g for Rb+, Cs+ and Sr2+ could be reached within 40, 30 and 20 min, respectively. Moreover, the CTS-g-PAM had excellent regeneration ability and reusability. Herein, we provided a feasible and low-cost pathway for preparation of the porous adsorbent with tunable porous structure for adsorption and separation application.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are an emerging technology for the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer therapy with low/no toxicity to the non-cancer cells. With that view, the present work reports the synthesis, characterization, and testing of Mn:ZnS quantum dots (QDs) conjugated chitosan (CS)-based nanocarrier system encapsulated with Mitomycin C (MMC) drug. This fabricated nanocarrier, MMC@CS-Mn:ZnS, has been tested thoroughly for the drug loading capacity, drug encapsulation efficiency, and release properties at a fixed wavelength (358 nm) using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Followed by the physicochemical characterization, the cumulative drug release profiling data of MMC@CS-Mn:ZnS nanocarrier (at pH of 6.5, 6.8, 7.2, and 7.5) were investigated to have the highest release of 56.48% at pH 6.8, followed by 50.22%, 30.88%, and 10.75% at pH 7.2, 6.5, and 7.5, respectively. Additionally, the drug release studies were fitted to five different pharmacokinetic models including pesudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Higuchi, Hixson-Crowell, and Korsmeyers-Peppas models. From the analysis, the cumulative MMC release suits the Higuchi model well, revealing the diffusion-controlled mechanism involving the correlation of cumulative drug release proportional to the function square root of time at equilibrium, with the correlation coefficient values (R2) of 0.9849, 0.9604, 0.9783, and 0.7989 for drug release at pH 6.5, 6.8, 7.2, and 7.5, respectively. Based on the overall results analysis, the formulated nanocarrier system of MMC synergistically envisages the efficient delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the target cancerous sites, able to sustain it for a longer time, etc. Consequently, the developed nanocarrier system has the capacity to improve the drug loading efficacy in combating the reoccurrence and progression of cancer in non-muscle invasive bladder diseases.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that active peptides can induce an improvement in wound repair. Herein, we evaluated egg white peptides (EWPs) as a nutritional supplement to improve mechanical skin damage in BALB/c mice. Two symmetrical circular full-thickness wounds were created with 5 mm biopsy punches in the skin of the mouse dorsal region, and EWPs (200, and 400 mg kg-1) were administrated by gavage for 14 days. We analyzed the EWPs for their in vivo and in vitro antioxidant capability, toxicity, and microscopy of skin wounds, and there was no cytotoxicity or in vivo toxicity. During the period of wound healing, EWPs could promote healthy cell migration, increase serum superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and accelerate the wound healing process in a time- and dose-dependent manner, whereas the levels of malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species showed the opposite trend. After administration with 400 mg kg-1 EWPs for 10 days, the wound had almost healed. Meanwhile, EWPs significantly enhanced serum amino acids, particularly enhancing the content of Arg, Glu, Pro, Met, and Lys, which could provide sufficient nutrition in the wound healing process. The present study demonstrates that EWPs possess a positive potential to accelerate the wound healing process of mechanical skin damage at the cellular and animal level.

Abstract
The success of repair or regeneration depends greatly on the architecture of 3D scaffolds that finely mimic natural extracellular matrix to support cell growth and assembly. Polysaccharides have excellent biocompatibility with intrinsic biological cues and they have been extensively investigated as scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The physical and biochemical structures of natural polysaccharides, however, can barely meet all the requirements of tissue-engineered scaffolds. To take advantage of their inherent properties, many innovative approaches including chemical, physical, or joint modifications have been employed to improve their properties. Recent advancement in molecular and material building technology facilitates the fabrication of advanced 3D structures with desirable properties. This review focuses on the latest progress of polysaccharide-based scaffolds for TERM, especially those that construct advanced architectures for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Various chitosan (CS)-based dressings are used for wound treatment in clinical settings. Dressings that can be easily prepared and conveniently applied to treat wounds are highly desirable. In this study, a hybrid hydrogel was prepared using CS and poly (D,l-lactide)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (D,l-lactide) (PPP) through a simple process for convenient application. The optimal formula included a 7% CS PPP micellar solution, exhibiting excellent liquidity and allowing optional application as a spray. Molecular dynamic simulations indicated that CS and PPP established interactions via H-bonds and formed a long-chain complex, easily forming a hydrogel. Upon application, it rapidly transformed into a hydrogel and tightly adhered to the skin, forming a hemostatic (decreased 53.4%) and antibacterial (increased to about 90%) barrier, demonstrating accelerated wound healing (58.0%). This simple CS hybrid hydrogel can be easily prepared and applied and has potential applicability in clinical wound treatment.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 186:528-534. [PMID: 34116093 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.06.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
This work investigated the modification of low-methoxy pectin with stearic anhydride through microwave action with 4-dimethylaminopyridine as catalyst. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses indicated that stearic acid was grafted on the pectin through esterification reaction, with the maximum stearic acid grafting ratio (SGR) of 10.7% for the modified pectin. The introduction of stearic acid was shown to significantly improve the emulsifying activity and stability of pectin. Composite films were prepared by blending the modified pectins and chitosan, and compared with the contact angle of 65.3° for the film with native low-methoxy pectin (PC0), the films with modified pectins showed a significant angle increase, with the highest contact angle reaching 101.9°, indicating a hydrophobic surface. Moreover, an appropriate amount of aliphatic chains could improve the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite films due to the "anchoring effect".
