Sultan M, Youssef AM, Taha G. Potential antimicrobial cotton fabrics treated with cinnamaldehyde/chitosan-alginate nanocapsules for food packaging purposes. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135384.

Abstract
In this study, cotton fabric was treated with chitosan/alginate nanocapsules containing cinnamaldehyde (CINA) as a natural antibacterial and antioxidant. Cinnamaldehyde was encapsulated into chitosan/alginate complex coacervate (CINA@CH/ALG). FTIR, XRD, TEM, and SEM were utilized to investigate the formation of CINA@CH/ALG nanocapsules. The weight ratios of chitosan, alginate, and the volume fractions of cinnamaldehyde have a considerable impact on the particle size of the CINA@CH/ALG nanocapsules but no significant effect on the zeta potential. The lowest particle size was 549.8 nm at a weight ratio of 1/1 and 712.6 nm for CH/ALG nanocapsules containing cinnamaldehyde oil fractions of 0.025 mL. The maximum encapsulation (91.4 %) and loading percentage (12.0 %) were achieved with 0.025 mL of cinnamaldehyde. The highest cumulative release was 50.76 % with 0.025 mL of cinnamaldehyde over 300 min. The releasing mechanism of CINA from CINA(0.025)@CH/AG follows the bi-exponential model. The maximum radical scavenging activity was 72.91 % with 0.1 mL of CINA. CINA@CH/ALG nanocapsules were applied to cotton fabric. All tested pathogen strains were sensitive to CINA@CH/ALG, with a CINA volume fraction of 0.025 representing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Salmonella Typhimurium is the pathogen most prone to cinnamaldehyde with an inhibition zone of 18 mm. The coating of cotton fabric with CINA@CH/ALG has implanted antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Abstract
A novel nano bio-fertilizer encapsulation method was developed to crosslink chitosan and alginate with humic acid. These nanocapsules, referred to as (Ch./Alg.HA.NPK) or (Ch./Alg.HA.NPK.PGPRs), were loaded with nanoscale essential agro-nutrients (NPK) and beneficial microorganisms Pseudomonas Fluorescence abbreviated as (P.Fluorescence). Structural and morphological analyses were conducted using FourierTransform Infrared, Thermogravimetric Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Malvern Zeta NanoSizer, and Zeta potential. Encapsulation efficiency and water retention were also determined compared to control non-crosslinked nanocapsules. The sustained cumulative release of NPK over 30 days was also investigated to 33.2%, 47.8%, and 68.3%, alternatively. The release mechanism, also assessed through the kinetic module of the Korsemeyer- Peppas Mathematical model, demonstrated superior performance compared to non-crosslinked nanocapsules (chitosan/alginate). These results show the potential of the synthesized nanocapsules for environmentally conscious controlled release of NPK and PGPRs, thereby mitigating environmental impact, enhancing plant growth, and reducing reliance on conventional agrochemical fertilizers.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop chitosan alginate nanoparticles (CANPs) for enhanced stability for dermal delivery of protein hydrolysate from Acheta domesticus (PH). CANPs, developed using ionotropic pre-gelation followed by the polyelectrolyte complex technique, were characterized for particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential. After the incorporation of PH into CANPs, a comprehensive assessment included encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, morphology, chemical analyses, physical and chemical stability, irritation potential, release profile, skin permeation, and skin retention. The most optimal CANPs, comprising 0.6 mg/mL sodium alginate, 1.8 mg/mL calcium chloride, and 0.1 mg/mL chitosan, exhibited the smallest particle size (309 ± 0 nm), the narrowest PDI (0.39 ± 0.01), and pronounced negative zeta potential (-26.0 ± 0.9 mV), along with an encapsulation efficiency of 56 ± 2%, loading capacity of 2.4 ± 0.1%, release of 40 ± 2% after 48 h, and the highest skin retention of 12 ± 1%. The CANPs induced no irritation and effectively enhanced the stability of PH from 44 ± 5% of PH remaining in a solution to 74 ± 4% after three-month storage. Therefore, the findings revealed the considerable potential of CANPs in improving PH stability and skin delivery, with promising applications in cosmetics and related fields.

Abstract
Sustained or controlled-release delivery systems can enhance functions such as nutrient usage; minimize soil contamination, and reduce the required fertilizer dose. This paper reports the development of a carboxymethyl cellulose-g-polyacrylamide copolymer (CMC-g-PAM) as a sustained and slow-release fertilizer carrier for urea. The developed copolymer was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TG). The grafting process increased the activation energy of CMC from 0.1521 to 0.5952 J/mol with a higher loading percentage of 72.140.85% using a 15% urea solution. The swelling ratio is significantly dependent on the pH. The maximum swelling ratio of 1199.58% at pH 9. However, Swelling follows a pseudo-first-order reaction with the maximum swelling ratio in a saline of 349.76%. The CMC-g-PAM copolymer loaded with urea exhibited sustained and slow release, with the maximum cumulative percentage of 69.12% at pH 9 and 38.94% in saline. Urea release from the CMC-g-PAM copolymer followed the first-order, Fickian, and biexponential biphasic release mechanisms. The release of the CMC-g-PAM copolymer loaded with urea is a complicated process governed by diffusion and a biphasic releasing profile.

Physical, Chemical, and Biological Properties of Chitosan-Coated Alginate Microparticles Loaded with Porcine Interleukin-1β: A Potential Protein Adjuvant Delivery System. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179959.

Abstract
We previously developed chicken interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mutants as single-dose adjuvants that induce protective immunity when co-administered with an avian vaccine. However, livestock such as pigs may require a vaccine adjuvant delivery system that provides long-lasting protection to reduce the need for successive booster doses. Therefore, we developed chitosan-coated alginate microparticles as a carrier for bovine serum albumin (BSA) or porcine IL-1β (pIL-1β) and assessed their physical, chemical, and biological properties. Electrospraying of the BSA-loaded alginate microparticles (BSA/ALG MPs) resulted in an encapsulation efficiency of 50%, and those MPs were then coated with chitosan (BSA/ALG/CHI MPs). Optical and scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize these MPs. The BSA encapsulation parameters were applied to ALG/CHI MPs loaded with pIL-1β, which were not cytotoxic to porcine fibroblasts but had enhanced bio-activity over unencapsulated pIL-1β. The chitosan layer of the BSA/ALG/CHI MPs prevented burst release and facilitated sustained release of pIL-1β for at least 28 days. In conclusion, BSA/ALG/CHI MPs prepared as a carrier for pIL-1β may be used as an adjuvant for the formulation of pig vaccines.

Abstract
Chitosan/alginate (Chi/Alg) nanoparticles as a non-viral vector for the Smad4 encoding plasmid were optimized utilizing D-optimal design based on the nanoparticles/plasmid ratio, Chi/Alg MW, and preparation method type. Following the optimization and validation of the best formula, morphology studies and FTIR measurements were performed to evaluate the optimized Chi/Alg/S NPs. Toxicity (MTT assay) and transfection studies were performed for the best formula in comparison with Lipofectamine 2000, and Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and evaluated using Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) assay, Flow cytometry, and RT-PCR. The model predicted a particle size of 111 nm, loading efficacy (LE) of 43%, cumulative release (CMR) of 39%, the ζ-potential of +50 mV, and PDI of 0.13. The predicted point condition was as follows: NP ratio = 13, Chi/Alg MW ratio = 2.35, and preparation method type = 1. Microscopic findings revealed that the shape of nanoparticles was spherical. The Chi/Alg/S nanoparticles showed no toxicity and transfection efficacy of 29.9% was observed in comparison with Lipofectamine (35.5%) and PEI (30.9%).

Abstract
Purpose In this study, chitosan/alginate nanoparticles are prospected as a carrier for controlled release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Materials and Methods The rhBMP-2-loaded chitosan/alginate nanoparticles (Cs/Alg/B NPs) were prepared using the ionic gelation (IG) method. The current research was conducted to optimize the effective factors for entrapping rhBMP-2 in Cs/Alg NPs using response surface methodology (RSM) and the Box–Behnken design (BBD). The variables were the Cs/Alg molecular weight (Mw) ratios (1–3), pH (4.8–5.5), stirring rates (900–1300 rpm) and the responses included size, ζ-potential, polydispersity index (PDI), loading efficacy (LE), cumulative release (CR), and morphological degradation time (MDE). Then, the morphological properties of optimum formulation were studied for post-characterization. In the next step, the MTT assay for the optimized run was done for 24 and 48 hours. Results The results revealed that the optimum conditions for the mentioned variables were stirring rate=1100 rpm, pH=5.15, and Cs/Alg Mw ratio=1.75 based on numerical optimization. It was shown that the average particle size and loading efficacy at optimum conditions were 253 nm and 67%, respectively. Other responses were as follows: CR=66%, ζ-potential=+35mV, PDI=0.5, and MDT=7 days. Conclusion The results have suggested that the statistical optimization of rhBMP-2 offers the possibility of preparing Cs/Alg/B NPs with a favorable size, controlled release characteristics, and high loading efficiency. It is expected that the acquired optimum conditions will be useful for efficient rhBMP-2 delivery.

Abstract
The main goal of this study was to synthesise and characterise different formulations based on alginate and alginate/chitosan microspheres containing nanoselenium (nano-Se) for controlled delivery applications. Nanosize elemental selenium was produced by using probiotic yogurt bacteria (Lactobacillus casei) in a fermentation procedure. The structural and morphological characterisation of the microspheres was performed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. FTIR and XRD pattern indicated that was an effective cross-linking of selenium nanoparticles within the polymeric matrix in both cases. The SEM images reveal that selenium nanoparticles are mainly exposed on the surface of alginate, in contrast to porous structure of alginate/chitosan/nano-Se, interconnected in a regular network. This architecture type has a considerable importance in the delivery process, as demonstrated by differential pulse voltammetry. Selenium release from both matrices is pH sensitive. Moreover, chitosan blended with alginate minimise the release of encapsulated selenium, in simulated gastric fluid, and prolong the duration of release in intestinal fluid. The overall effect is the enhancement of total percentage release concomitant with the longer duration of action. The authors' formulation based on alginate/chitosan is a convenient matrix to be used for selenium delivery in duodenum, caecum and colon.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles are promising carriers for drug delivery applications. The particle size influences the biodistribution of the nanoparticles; hence size distributions and polydispersity index (PDI) are critical characteristics. However, the preparation of stable particles with a low PDI is a challenging task and is usually based on empirical trials. In this study, we report the use of multivariate evaluation to optimize the formulation factors for the preparation of alginate-zinc nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation. The PDI was selected as the response variable. Particle size, size distributions, zeta potential and pH of the samples were also recorded. Two full factorial (mixed-level) designs were analyzed by partial least squares regression (PLS). In the first design, the influence of the polysaccharide and the crosslinker concentrations were studied. The results revealed that size distributions with a low PDI were obtained by using a low polysaccharide concentrations (0.03-0.05%) and a zinc concentration of 0.03% (w/w). However, a high polysaccharide concentration can be advantageous for drug delivery systems. Therefore, in the second design, a high alginate concentration was used (0.09%) and a reduction in the PDI was obtained by simultaneously increasing the ionic strength of the solvent and the zinc concentration. The multivariate analysis also revealed the interaction between the factors in terms of their effects on the PDI; hence, compared to traditional univariate analyses, the multivariate analysis allowed us to obtain a more complete understanding of the effects of the factors scrutinized. In addition, the results are considered useful in order to avoid extensive empirical tests for future formulation studies.

Abstract
The aim of this research was developing alginate nanoparticles as a carrier for food enrichment. In this research, Fe/Zn-loaded alginate nanoparticles were prepared and characterized as point size, morphology, FTIR, loading efficacy (LE), and release properties and used in ice cream structure. After this stage, absorption of the salts was measured and sensory and rheological evaluations were taken for samples. Results showed that alginate nanoparticles have average size between 90 and 135 nm. Also, the shape of the nanoparticles is regular and smooth without aggregation phenomena. FTIR certified that Zn/Fe loaded into alginate nanoparticles. Also, loading efficacy of Zn/Fe was 70–85% and release profile of nanoparticles showed a steady state. Alginate nanoparticles could decrease the loss of Fe/Zn in comparison control. Furthermore, these nanoparticles have no side effects on sensory and rheological properties. Hence, this nanoparticle can be suggestive for the enrichment of ice cream and probably other foods.
