Salt reduction in myofibrillar protein gel via inhomogeneous distribution of sodium-containing encapsulated fish oil coacervate: Mucopenetration ability of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131998. [PMID: 38697415 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131998] [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: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
The potential application of fish oil microcapsules as salt reduction strategies in low-salt myofibrillar protein (MP) gel was investigated by employing soy protein isolates/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (SPI-CMC) coacervates enriched with 25 mM sodium chloride and exploring their rheological characteristics, taste perception, and microstructure. The results revealed that the SPI-CMC coacervate phase exhibited the highest sodium content under 25 mM sodium level, albeit with uneven distribution. Notably, the hydrophilic and adhesive properties of CMC to sodium facilitated the in vitro release of sodium during oral digestion, as evidenced by the excellent wettability and mucopenetration ability of CMC. Remarkably, the fish oil microcapsules incorporating SPI-CMC as the wall material, prepared at pH 3.5 with a core-to-wall ratio of 1:1, demonstrated the highest encapsulation efficiency, which was supported by the strong hydrogen bonding. Interestingly, the presence of SPI-CMC coacervates and fish oil microcapsules enhanced the interaction between MPs and strengthened the low-salt MP gel network. Coupled with electronic tongue analysis, the incorporation of fish oil microcapsules slightly exacerbated the non-uniformity of sodium distribution. This ultimately contributed to an enhanced perception of saltiness, richness, and aftertaste in low-salt protein gels. Overall, the incorporation of fish oil microcapsules emerged as an effective salt reduction strategy in low-salt MP gel.

Study on synergistic mechanism of molybdenum disulfide/ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composite nanofiber mats for photothermal/photodynamic antibacterial treatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:130838. [PMID: 38521322 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130838] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Innovative antibacterial therapies using nanomaterials, such as photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) treatments, have been developed for treating wound infections. However, creating secure wound dressings with these therapies faces challenges. The primary focus of this study is to prepare an antibacterial nanofiber dressing that effectively incorporates stable loads of functional nanoparticles and demonstrates an efficient synergistic effect between PTT and PDT. Herein, a composite nanofiber mat was fabricated, integrating spherical molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles. MoS2 was deposited onto polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber mats using vacuum filtration, which was further stabilized by sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) adhesion and glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking. The composite nanofibers demonstrated synergistic antibacterial effects under NIR light irradiation, and the underlying mechanism was explored. They induce bacterial membrane permeability, protein leakage, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation, ultimately leading to >95 % antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is higher than that of single thermotherapy (almost no antibacterial activity) or ROS therapy (about 80 %). In addition, the composite nanofiber mats exhibited promotion effects on infected wound healing in vivo. This study demonstrates the great prospects of composite nanofiber dressings in clinical treatment of bacterial-infected wounds.

[PMID: 38395286 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130376] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare a drug carrier that could deliver oral insulin to the intestine. A hydrogel beads composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), Zingiber offtcinale polysaccharide (ZOP) and chitosan (CS) were prepared by ionic gel method as insulin carrier. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric (TGA) showed that the hydrogel was formed by metal ion coordination between ZOP and CMC and Fe3+, and CS was coated on the surface of the hydrogel ball in the form of non covalent bond. The results showed that the swelling process of hydrogel spheres has significant pH sensitivity. In addition, the hydrogel beads successfully coated insulin, and the drug loading rate (DL) of (ZOP/CMC-Fe3+)@CS could reach 69.43 ± 7.32 mg/g, and the entrapment efficiency (EE) could reach 66.94 ± 7.43 %. In vitro release experiments, the release rate of (CMC/ZOP-Fe3+)@CS in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) for 2 h was <20 %, and the cumulative release rate of insulin after 9 h in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) reached over 90 %. The results showed that the hydrogel beads prepared in this work could be used as a potential carrier for delivering oral insulin.

Abstract
With the growing demand for eco-friendly materials in wearable smart electronic devices, renewable, biocompatible, and low-cost hydrogels based on natural polymers have attracted much attention. Cellulose, as one of the renewable and degradable natural polymers, shows great potential in wearable smart electronic devices. Multifunctional conductive cellulose-based hydrogels are designed for flexible electronic devices by adding sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and MXene into polyacrylic acid networks. The multifunctional hydrogels possess excellent mechanical property (stress: 310 kPa; strain: 1127 %), toughness (206.67 KJ m-3), conductivity (1.09 ± 0.12 S m-1) and adhesion (82.19 ± 3.65 kPa). The multifunctional conductive hydrogels serve as strain sensors (Gauge Factor (GF) = 5.79, 0-700 % strain; GF = 14.0, 700-900 % strain; GF = 40.36, 900-1000 % strain; response time: 300 ms; recovery time: 200 ms) and temperature sensors (Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) = 2.5755 °C-1 at 35 °C- 60 °C). The sensor detects human activities with clear and steady signals. A distributed array of flexible sensors is created to measure the magnitude and distribution of pressure and a hydrogel-based flexible touch keyboard is also fabricated to recognize writing trajectories, pressures and speeds. Furthermore, a flexible hydrogel-based supercapacitor powers the LED and exhibits good cyclic stability over 15,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Sodium carboxymethyl celluloses as a cryoprotectant for survival improvement of lactic acid bacterial strains subjected to freeze-drying. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129468. [PMID: 38242412 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129468] [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: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the possibility of sodium carboxymethyl celluloses (Na-CMC) in protecting the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against freeze-drying stress. 1 % concentration of Na-CMC with a 0.7 substitution degree and viscosity of 1500 to 3100 (MPa.s) was found to protect Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CICC 6098 best, giving a high survival rate of 23.19 ± 0.88 %, high key enzymatic activities, and 28-day storage stability. Additionally, Na-CMC as cryoprotectant provided good protection for other 7 lactic acid bacterial strains subjected to freeze-drying. The highest survival rate was 48.79 ± 0.20 U/mg for β-GAL, 2.75 ± 0.15 U/mg for Na+-K+-ATPase, and 2.73 ± 0.41 U/mg for Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase as 48.48 ± 0.46 % for freeze-dried Pediococcus pentosaceus CICC 22228. It was Interesting to note that the presence of Na-CMC reduced the freezable water content of the lyophilized powders containing the tested strains through its hydroxyl group, and supplied micro-holes and fibers for protecting the integrated structure of LAB cell membrane and wall against the freezing damage. It is clear that addition of Na-CMC should be promising as a new cryoprotective agent available for processing the lyophilized stater cultures of LAB strains.

Abstract
The main goal of this study is to create a CS-CMC-SF aerogel consisting of chitosan sodium carboxymethylcellulose and silk fibroin. The aerogel is designed to remove types of dyes from water while also being environmentally friendly. This innovative adsorbent has been optimized for extracting both cationic and anionic dyes from solutions. It incorporates chitosan sodium carboxymethylcellulose and silk filament fibers to enhance its strength. Experimental data illustrates that the CS-CMC-SF aerogel possesses remarkable adsorption capabilities - 5461.77 mg/g for Congo Red (CR), 2392.83 mg/g for Malachite Green (MG), and 1262.20 mg/g for Crystal Violet (CV). A kinetic study aligns with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model suggesting predominant chemisorption phenomena occur during adsorption process. Isotherm analysis further identifies multilayered adsorption occurring on irregularly shaped surfaces of the aerogel while thermodynamic assessments validate exothermic and spontaneous characteristics inherent in its absorption mechanism. Several analytical methods such as SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS were employed to examine physicochemical attributes tied to this unique material design conceptually; identifying mechanisms including pore filling, π-π interactions, ion exchange activity, electrostatic connections along with hydrogen bonding inducing overall superior performance output. Furthermore substantial soil biodegradability alongside compostable features associated with our proposed CS-CMC-SF aerogels established it's potential suitability within applications demanding sustainable options thereby validating its underlying ecological credibility.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare oregano essential oil microcapsules (EOMs) by the active coalescence method using gelatin and sodium alginate as wall materials and oregano essential oil (OEO) as the core material. EOMs were added to the soybean protein isolate (SPI)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) matrix to prepare SPI-CMC-EOM active films, and the physical and chemical features of the active films and EOMs were characterized. The results showed that the microencapsulated OEO could protect its active ingredients. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that EOMs were highly compatible with the film matrix. The solubility of active films decreased upon adding EOMs, and their ultraviolet resistance and thermal stability also improved. When the added amount of EOMs was 5 %, the active films had the best mechanical properties and the lowest water vapor permeability. The active films prepared under this condition had excellent comprehensive performance. Also, adding EOMs considerably enhanced the antioxidant of the active films and endowed them with antibacterial properties. The application of the SPI-CMC-EOM films to A. bisporus effectively delayed senescence and maintained the freshness of the postharvest A. bisporus. This study provided a theoretical foundation for the incorporation of EOMs into active films based on biological materials.

Abstract
Multifunctional mulch films with robust mechanical behaviors of biopolymer-based biodegradable mulch materials were highly demanded in promoting the development of "green" agriculture. Herein, a sort of mechanically robust and all-biodegradable soybean protein isolate-graft‑sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composite mulch film was innovatively proposed through the amidation reactions between -COOH on protonated sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and -NH2 on soybean protein isolate. Arising from the reinforced intermolecular interactions upon chemical covalent bonds and physical hydrogen bonds, the maximum tensile strength and the elongation at break were increased from 10.61 MPa and 20.67 % for sodium carboxymethyl cellulose film to 42.15 MPa and 24.8 % for the optimized soybean protein isolate-graft‑sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composite mulch film, respectively. In addition, experimental results showed that the optimized soybean protein isolate-graft‑sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composite mulch film possesses soil moisture retention and controlled urea release properties. When employed as mulch film in practice, the cabbage seed presents higher germination when soil was covered with this versatile mulch film compared to commercial low-density polyethylene mulch film. Our discoveries build a prototype for the manufacture of eco-friendly mulch films with high mechanical strength, soil moisture retention, controlled urea release features.

Abstract
Eutrophication is a severe worldwide concern caused by excessive phosphorus release. Thus, significant efforts have been made to develop phosphorus removal techniques, particularly by nanomaterial adsorption. However, because of the limitations associated with nanoparticles including easy agglomeration, and separation challenges, a novel nanocomposite adsorbent with great adsorption performance is urgently required. A sponge adsorbent (MS-CMC@La) was developed in this study to remove phosphorus using melamine sponge (MS), LaCl3, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The results of SEM/EDS, FTIR, and XPS demonstrated that La was well-dispersed on MS-CMC@La. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics met with the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.981) and the pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.989), respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of MS-CMC@La was found to be 15.28 mg/g; the material exhibited excellent selectivity toward phosphorus in the presence of coexisting anion except of F-; the adsorption behavior was greatly impacted by pH. Furthermore, the electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and inner-sphere coordination regulate the phosphate adsorption mechanism, with inner-sphere coordination dominating. In summary, the nano-enriched materials developed in this study are capable of facilitating the application of functionalized sponges in the field of wastewater.

Effects of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose on storage stability and qualities of different frozen dough. Heliyon 2023; 9:e18545.

Abstract
Hydrocolloids as Additives have been used for improving the quality of frozen dough for a long time. In this work, the effects of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on quality changes of frozen dough in storage were studied. The water loss rate of the dough and water holding capacity were measured. Rheological and texture properties of the frozen dough were measured by a rheometer and a texture analyzer, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize surface network structure and protein structure changes of the frozen dough. Our results reveal that the addition of CMC can inhibit the formation of ice crystals and recrystallization, thus effectively stabilizing the molecular structure of starch, and resulting in more uniform moisture distribution in the frozen dough. When 3% addition of CMC, the water holding capacity of the two kinds of dough reached the best, and the water loss rate of corn dough reached the lowest. The cohesion of the two kinds of dough reaches the maximum with 3 wt% addition of CMC, while the hardness and chewiness of wheat and corn multigrain dough reaches the maximum with 3 wt% and 4 wt% addition of CMC, respectively. The results show proper CMC addition (3 wt% and 4 wt%) finally improves the stability and qualities of the frozen dough. The research concerning the effects of CMC on quality of frozen dough provides better understanding for the frozen food industry.

Biobased epoxidized natural rubber/ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composites with enhanced strength and healing ability. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124681.

Abstract
Conventional vulcanized rubbers cause a non-negligible waste of resources due to the formation of 3D irreversible covalently cross-linked networks. The introduction of reversible covalent bonds, such as reversible disulfide bonds, into the rubber network, is an available solution to the above problem. However, the mechanical properties of rubber with only reversible disulfide bonds cannot meet most practical applications. In this paper, a strengthened bio-based epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) composite reinforced by sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) was prepared. SCMC forms a mass of hydrogen bonds between its hydroxyl groups and the hydrophilic groups of ENR chain, which gives the ENR/2,2'-Dithiodibenzoic acid (DTSA)/SCMC composites an enhanced mechanical performance. With 20 phr SCMC, the tensile strength of the composite increases from 3.0 to 10.4 MPa, which is almost 3.5 times that of the ENR/DTSA composite without SCMC. Simultaneously, DTSA covalently cross-linked ENR with the introduction of reversible disulfide bonds, which enables the cross-linked network to rearrange its topology at low temperatures and thus endows the ENR/DTSA/SCMC composites with healing properties. The ENR/DTSA/SCMC-10 composite has a considerable healing efficiency of about 96 % after healing at 80 °C for 12 h.

Abstract
Cassava starch/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CC) was used as the substrate to create a multipurpose food packaging film, and caffeic acid@silica nanoparticles (C@SNPs) was added. The encapsulation rate of caffeic acid in C@SNPs was 84.7 ± 0.97 %. According to SEM pictures, the nanoparticles were evenly dispersed throughout the film and exhibited good compatibility with the other polymers. C@SNPs was added, which enhanced the physical characteristics of film and decreased its water solubility. The best mechanical and oxygen barrier qualities among them are found in the C@SCC5:1 film, whose tensile strength rises from 7.17 MPa to 15.44 MPa. The C@SCC5:1 film has scavenging rates of 95.43 % and 84.67 % against ABTS and DPPH free radicals, respectively, and CA can be released continuously in various food systems. In addition, the antibacterial rate of E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus of C@SCC5:1 film in meat was 99.9 %, and it can effectively delay lipid oxidation and pH rise. In conclusion,C@SCC5:1 film is a new type of antibacterial and antioxidant food packaging material.

Abstract
Developing an efficient drug delivery system to mitigate the harm caused by root-knot nematodes is crucial. In this study, enzyme-responsive release abamectin nanocapsules (AVB1a NCs) were prepared using 4, 4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as response release factors. The results showed that the average size (D50) of the AVB1a NCs was 352 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency was 92 %. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of AVB1a NCs for Meloidogyne incognita activity was 0.82 mg L-1. Moreover, AVB1a NCs improved the permeability of AVB1a to root-knot nematodes and plant roots and the horizontal and vertical soil mobility. Furthermore, AVB1a NCs greatly reduced the adsorption of AVB1a by the soil compared to AVB1a emulsifiable concentrate (EC), and the effect of the AVB1a NCs on controlling root-knot nematode disease was increased by 36 %. Compared to the AVB1a EC, the pesticide delivery system significantly reduced the acute toxicity to the soil biological earthworms by approximately 16 times that of the AVB1a and had a lower overall impact on the soil microbial communities. This enzyme-responsive pesticide delivery system had a simple preparation method, excellent performance, and high level of safety, and thus has great application potential for plant diseases and insect pests control.

Abstract
A novel and eco-friendly intumescent flame-retardant system based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was established for wide-used flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs). FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1 with extremely uniform coatings extinguished and reached the UL-94 V-0 rating, and presented an improvement of thermal insulation properties. Moreover, there was a 58 % reduction in peak heat release rate for FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1 compared with that of FPUF, and the microstructure analysis of char residues indicated that a perfect intumescent char layer had formed on the surface of FPUFs. Especially, CMC and GN enhanced the compactness and stability of char layers. Therefore, little volatile production was generated under the protection of physical layers in the high temperature as evaluated during the thermal degradation processes. Meanwhile, the flame-retardant FPUFs remained the ideal mechanical properties and obtained excellent antibacterial properties, and the antibacterial rates of E.coli and S.aureus were 99.9 % (FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1). This work provides an eco-friendlier strategy for the design of multi-function FPUFs.

Abstract
Corn oil, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are widely used as solvents or suspensions in animal experiments, but the effects of prenatal exposure to them on fetal development have not been reported. In this study, Kunming mice were given a conventional dose of corn oil (9.2g/kg·d), CMC-Na (0.05g/kg·d) or DMSO (0.088g/kg·d) during gestation days 10-18, and the pregnancy outcome, fetal physical development, serum phenotype, and multi-organ function changes were observed. The results showed that corn oil decreased serum triglyceride level in males but increased their serum testosterone and CORT levels, and affected female placenta and female/male multi-organ functions (mainly bone, liver, kidney). CMC-Na increased female/male body lengths and tail lengths, decreased serum glucose and total cholesterol levels in males as well as increased their serum LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and testosterone level, decreased female serum bile acid level, and affected male/female placenta and multi-organ functions (mainly bone, liver, hippocampus). DMSO decreased male body weight and serum glucose level, decreased male/female serum bile acid levels, and affected male/female placenta and multi-organs functions (mainly bone, hippocampus, adrenal gland). In conclusion, prenatal exposure to a conventional dose of corn oil, CMC-Na or DMSO could affect fetal physical development and multi-organ functions, and has the characteristics of "multi-pathway, multi-organ and multi-target". This study provides the experimental basis for the rational selection of solvents or suspensions in pharmacology and toxicology studies. DATA AVAILABILITY: Data will be made available on request.

[PMID: 36347377 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.10.282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Multifunctional food packaging films were developed based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), tea polyphenol (TP) and black carrot anthocyanin (CA). Results of Zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that CA enhanced the stability of the particle dispersion system through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, promoted the compatibility between TP and PVA-CMC (PC) substrates, and enhanced the binding between the components of the films. Because of the interaction of TP and CA, PC-TP-CA films had better water resistance and water vapor barrier properties, thermal stability, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. PC-CA and PC-TP-CA films exhibited excellent UV-blocking properties. They also showed distinct color responsiveness in the pH range of 2-13, significant sensitivity to ammonia vapor in a short period of time and excellent color stability over 20 days of storage under different conditions. When the film was applied to fish, it was found that PC-TP-CA film could extend the shelf life of fish by 1-2 days and successfully monitor the freshness of the fish in real-time. Considering all the physical and functional properties, the non-toxic and biodegradable PC-TP-CA film has excellent potential as a new multifunctional food packaging material in the future.

Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium gel: A modified material used to suppress coal dust pollution. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 215:114234. [PMID: 36075479 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
To reduce the environmental pollution caused by coal dust, a new type of dust inhibitor with a wide application range, high efficiency, and production simplicity was synthesized by modifying sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) with acrylamide (AM). Through molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, the surfactant composition and concentration were optimized. The experimental results showed that the graft copolymer of CMC-Na and AM (CMC-Na-co-AM) had more pores on the microscopic surface and a unique fiber network structure, which greatly increased its contact area with coal dust. After 14 h of drying at 60 °C, coal samples that were sprayed with the dust suppression agent retained >50% of the water in the spray, which was 9 times greater than the water retention of coal samples sprayed with just water. Additionally, the ability of the dust suppression agent to resist wind erosion was 6 times that of water. The CMC-Na-co-AM dust suppression agent showed that it could effectively inhibit the spread of coal dust under strong winds, offering a solution to the problem of coal dust pollution in coal production and storage.

Abstract
The spoilage of fish products and the growth of pathogenic bacteria cause great economic loss and serious harm to human health, so fish preservation is very important issue. In this study, Nostoc commune Vauch polysaccharides (NVP) was added into sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to form a mixed coating to prepare an active packaging material. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of NVP, physicochemical properties of the mixed coating, and preservative effects of the coating on salmon fillets were evaluated. The results showed that NVP had good antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Physical characterization of the coating solution showed that when the ratio of NVP to CMC was 1:3, the coating had the best dispersion, denser structure and strongest hydrogen bond. On this basis, NVP/CMC coating can significantly prolong the shelf life of salmon fillets during cold storage by reducing pH, improving the color and texture, delaying the oxidation of fat and protein, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. At the same time, the coated salmon fillets had good sensory acceptance. The results showed that the edible coating has a broad application prospect in the preservation of fish products.

Abstract
In this study, cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogel was synthesized from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), acrylic acid (AA), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) to enhance its water absorbency and salt tolerance for soil-conditioning applications in areas suffering from drought and soil salinization. Superabsorbent hydrogels (SHs) were prepared by CMC-Na and AMPS successfully, using chemical graft technology. Structure, morphology, thermal stability, and water absorbency of SHs were deduced. The cellulose-based hydrogel showed a high salt tolerance that the maximum water absorbency reached 604 and 119% in distilled water and saline water, respectively. The swelling behavior in aqueous solvents indicated that the water absorption of hydrogels was improved with the increasing ratio of CMC-Na. All SHs exhibited adsorption of nitrogen with the maximum adsorption of ammonia nitrogen 30 mg·g-1 and the presence of hydrogels could slow down the loss of nutrients in the soil. This study provided a feasible strategy that AMPS was substituted by CMC-Na to synthesize SHs with strong water absorbency and high salt tolerance which could be efficiently applied in agriculture as a soil conditioner.

Abstract
Many anthocyanins were used in active and pH-responsive packaging. The purpose of the study was to prepare an active and pH-responsive sensitive film based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol (CPVA) by a casting process, which contained rose anthocyanin extracts (RAEs) to monitor the freshness of pork. The concentration of RAEs had an important influence on the physicochemical property of RAEs-CPVA films, especially excellent anti-oxidation and light barrier properties. Importantly, the 160-RAEs-CPVA film had a strong response to pH, showing different color at different pHs. Furthermore, when monitoring the freshness of pork stored at 25 °C, the light green color of the 160-RAEs-CPVA film indicated that the freshness of the pork was higher, while the dark green and orange appearance indicated that the pork was spoiled. Therefore, 160-RAEs-CPVA film can be used as a smart indicator for freshness monitoring of pork.

Abstract
Novel superhydrophobic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) modified polyurethane (MPU) was developed as the membrane material for controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) by cross-linking polymerization of 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and CMC-based modified polyol (CMP) which was made by grafting CMC onto polyether polyol (TMN-450). The modified polyurethane coated fertilizer (MPUCF) was prepared by using MPU as the membrane material through a fluidized bed device. Analysis results of 13C NMR showed that the coatings of PUCF and MPUCF were prepared by connecting hydroxyl to isocyanate groups to form a carbamate. MPU had lower water absorption rates than PU, and MPUCF coating showed excellent hydrophobicity. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that MPUCF coating surface was much more smooth and flat than that of PUCF. Furthermore, the nitrogen (N) release longevity of MPUCF can increased to 140 days when the coating rate was 5%. It is concluded that MPU was an excellent superhydrophobic coating material for CRF.

Abstract
To improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and relieve the pain associated with colorectal cancer, a dual-drug delivery system (DDDS) is proposed. In this system, methotrexate (MTX) loaded CaCO3 (CaCO3/MTX) and aspirin (Asp) are co-entrapped in the hydrogels of alginate (Alg) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) crosslinked with Ca2+. The hydrogels can protect the anti-cancer drug of MTX from being absorbed in stomach and small intestine and ensure their efficacy at the target site of colorectum. More importantly, dual pH-responsive drug delivery can be achieved by the DDDS. Because the pH varies at small intestine and colorectum of human body, dual pH-responsive delivery of Asp and MTX can be achieved at the two organs, respectively, in response to ambient pH. These finding are of significant importance for medical science and pharmaceutics.

Abstract
This research aimed to overcome the current challenges in the application of natural carotenoid antioxidants, such as their complex preparation processes, low bioavailability and poor drug stability. Herein, a mechanochemical method was used to prepare an inclusion complex (IC) that self-assembles into micelles in aqueous solution and achieves solid-phase loading of astaxanthin (AST). The NMR analysis, thermodynamics study, particle size analysis and electron microscopy image results showed that AST, hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβ-CD) and glyceryl monostearate (GMS) formed self-assembled micelles and maintained good stability in aqueous solution. The antioxidant performance experiments showed that the formation of IC increases free radical scavenging activity. The pharmacokinetic studies showed that the bioavailability of the astaxanthin inclusion complex increased 4-fold. The tissue distribution experiments showed that the astaxanthin inclusion complex targets the liver to exert its antioxidant effects. The proposed method uses an innovative preparation technology to produce an efficient drug delivery system without solvents, and it exerts powerful antioxidant activity against astaxanthin.

Abstract
18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (Gly), a natural compound obtained from licorice, is known both for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and for this reason useful for wound treatment. Due to its poor solubility, Gly is not suitable for formulations used in conventional topical products such as gels, foams and creams. Polymeric bioadhesive microparticles (MP), loaded with Gly, were developed to be introduced in the wound bed and swell, once in contact with the exudate, to form a hydrogel in situ able to close the wound. The MP were prepared by spray drying method from the polymeric solution of polysaccharide sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and copolymer Soluplus® (SL). Soluplus® introduction in MP composition, using a 3:1 ratio (CMC/SL wt./wt.), allowed to stabilize Gly in non-crystalline form, favoring the improvement of water solubility, and to obtain a spherical with rugged surface MP morphology. Ex vivo studies showed these MP maintain high swelling capability and are able to form in situ a hydrogel for wound repair. The controlled release of Gly from the hydrogel stimulates keratinocyte growth, potentially supporting the physiological healing processes.

Abstract
Ultrasonic treatment can improve the compatibility between a hydrophobic material and a hydrophilic polymer. The light transmittance, crystalline structure, microstructure, surface morphology, moisture barrier, and mechanical properties of a composite film with or without ultrasonication were investigated. Ultrasound increases the film's light transmittance, resulting in a film that has good transparency. Ultrasonication did not change the crystalline structure of the polymer film, but promoted V-type complex formation. The surface of the film became smooth and homogeneous after the film-form suspension underwent ultrasonic treatment. Compared to the control film, after ultrasonication at 70% amplitude with a duration of 30 min, the average roughness and maximum roughness declined from 212 nm to 17.6 nm and from 768.7 nm to 86.5 nm, respectively. The composite film with ultrasonication exhibited better tensile and moisture barrier properties than the nonsonicated film. However, long-term and strong ultrasonication will destroy the polymer structure to some extent.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a feed additive for all animal species. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is intended for use as a technological additive (functional groups: emulsifier, stabiliser, thickener, gelling agent and binder) in premixtures and feedingstuffs for all animal species with no minimum and maximum content. A proper identification and characterisation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as required for a feed additive is not available and the occurrence of potential toxic impurities cannot be assessed. The following conclusions apply only to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose meeting the food additive specifications. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is considered safe for all animal species. The use of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in animal nutrition is of no concern for consumer safety. In the absence of data, the FEEDAP Panel was not in the position to conclude on the safety of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose for the user. The use of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a feed additive is considered safe for the environment. The additive is considered to be efficacious in feedingstuffs for all animal species.

Abstract
Inorganic matter modifications were used to improve the hydrophobic properties and slow-release effects of water-based copolymer films. Water-based copolymers were prepared by aqueous polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol, starch, chitosan, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and then, zeolite powder, volcanic ash or biochar were added to prepare the inorganic matter modified water-based copolymer films. The results showed that the inorganic matter modified water-based copolymer films had enhanced thermal stability, reductions in O-H and water vapour permeability, and increased crystallinity and roughness. Compared with water-based copolymer films, the water absorption capacities of the zeolite powder modified water-based copolymer films, volcanic ash modified water-based copolymer films, and biochar modified water-based copolymer films were reduced by 42.8 %, 50.0 % and 39.0 %, and their ammonium permeability was reduced by 53.0 %, 12.1 % and 1.1 %, respectively. Inorganic matter modified water-based copolymer films have properties that make them suitable for use in preparing slow-release coating materials.

Abstract
Considering that the hazardous heavy metal ions like Cd(II) and Cr(VI) are widely present in the environment, nowadays employing easy-to-handle adsorption-oriented processes are feasible choices towards efficient remediation of Cd(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous systems. Herein we developed a novel amino-functionalized bead with cost-effectiveness, high sorption capacity and fast sorption kinetics to remove Cd(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The carboxyl methylcellulose and chitosan-derived nanostructured sorbents synthesis were mainly through chitosan and dopamine self-polymerization, doped in sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and glutaraldehyde cross-linking. The pH value, initial concentration and contact time were investigated. Experimental data were commendably described by Freundlich isotherm and Pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cd(II) and Cr(VI) obtained from the experimental data were 470.0 mg/g and 347.0 mg/g, respectively. The adsorbents were collaboratively characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, XPS, etc., and the adsorbent basically exhibited high complexation ability to Cd(II) and showed strong electrostatic effect with Cr(VI) under acidic conditions. The recycling characteristics suggested that it possesses an outstanding recyclability. The adsorbent may have a potential as high-value biological adsorbent to remove heavy metals and it deserves further research into the practical application.

Abstract
The active edible coatings were prepared by incorporating epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) into sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to investigate the effect of SA-CMC-EGCG coatings on quality and shelf life of fresh pork stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 7 days. The antioxidant effects against lipid oxidation (TBARS), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and antimicrobial activity against total viable counts (TVC) were analyzed. Besides, the changes in color parameters and sensory attributes of all pork samples were evaluated. The results showed that fresh pork coated with SA-CMC edible coating with EGCG had a significant inhibitory effect on its microbial growth (P < 0.05), lipid oxidation and TVB-N. SA-CMC-EGCG also increased the L* value and maintained a* value of pork during storage. Besides, the sensory scores of pork samples coated with SA-CMC-EGCG were significantly improved (P < 0.05). Therefore, using SA-CMC-EGCG edible coating could prevent decay and significantly increase the shelf life of fresh pork.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to develop and optimize rosiglitazone maleate mucoadhesive extended-release tablets by quality by design (QbD) approach. Based on QTPP (quality target product profile) CQAs (critical quality attributes) were identified.
Methods: Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method were adopted for risk assessment. Risk analysis by the evaluation of formulation and process parameters showed that the optimizing the levels of polymers could reduce high risk to achieve target profile. Drug-excipient compatibility studies by Fourier transforms infra-red and DSC studies showed that the drug was compatible with the polymers used. Design of experiment (DoE) performed by Sigma tech software, Carbopol 934P and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) were identified as independent variables and hardness, drug release at 12 hours and ex vivo mucoadhesion time were adopted as responses. Contour plots generated from the software were used for identification of design space.
Results: Carbopol 934P and SCMC had positive and negative effects respectively on the selected responses. Higher the concentration of Carbopol 934P and lower the concentration of SCMC mucoadhesive extended release criteria could be achieved. Drug release kinetics followed first order release with Higuchi diffusion and Fickian diffusion. Ex vivo mucoadhesion test on goat stomach mucosa indicated that adhesion time increased at higher concentrations of Carbopol 934P. Optimized formula satisfying all the required parameters was selected and evaluated. The predicted response values were in close agreement with experimental response values, confirmed by calculating standard error.
Conclusion: It has been concluded that the application of QbD in the optimization reduced the number of trials to produce a cost-effective formula.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon aerogels derived from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were prepared via a multistep approach involving sol-gel, freeze-drying, carbonization, and KOH activation processes; ferric trichloride and collagen were used as cross-linking agent and nitrogen source, respectively. The carbon aerogels exhibited well-developed porous three-dimensional morphologies, high specific surface areas, and excellent magnetic properties. When applied as electrode material, the CA-N0.5 showed a specific capacitance of 185.3F/g at the current density of 0.5A/g in a 6M KOH electrolyte. The specific capacitance retention was 90.2% after 5000 charge/discharge cycles, indicating excellent cycling stability. In addition, the carbon aerogels showed excellent adsorption capacities of 238.2 and 230.4mg/g for malachite green and methylene blue, respectively. These results suggest that N-doped carbon aerogels may be utilized as electrodes in supercapacitors as well as highly efficient contaminant adsorbents in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Biochar(BC)-supported nanoscaled zinc oxide (nZO) was encapsulated either with (nZORc/BC) or with no (nZOR/BC) sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The X-ray diffraction and ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared spectrophotometry revealed that nZO of 16, 10, and 20 nm with energy band gaps of 2.79, 3.68 and 2.62 eV were synthesized for nZOR/BC, nZORc/BC and nZO/BC, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm predicted saturated sorption of methylene blue (MB) was 17.01 g kg-1 for nZORc/BC, over 19 times greater than nZOR/BC and nZO/BC. Under UV irradiation, 10.9, 61.6, 83.1, and 41.6% of MB were degraded for nZORc/BC, nZO/BC, nZOR/BC and BC. The scavenging experiment revealed hydroxyl radical dominated CMC degradation. Exogenous CMC (2 g L-1) increased MB sorption from 10.6% to 73.1%, but decreased MB degradation from 80.7% to 41.1%, relative to nZOR/BC. Thus, CMC could increase MB sorption by electrostatic attraction and other possible mechanisms. The compromised MB degradation may be ascribed to reduced availability of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals to degrade MB, and increased band gap energy of ZnO.

[PMID: 29086045 PMCID: PMC5662525 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-017-2348-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2017] [Accepted: 10/20/2017] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
When testing the electrochemical performance of metal oxide anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), binder played important role on the electrochemical performance. Which binder was more suitable for preparing transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs has not been systematically researched. Herein, five different binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) HSV900, PVDF 301F, PVDF Solvay5130, the mixture of styrene butadiene rubber and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SBR+CMC), and polyacrylonitrile (LA133) were studied to make anode electrodes (compared to the full battery). The electrochemical tests show that using SBR+CMC and LA133 binder which use water as solution were significantly better than PVDF. The SBR+CMC binder remarkably improve the bonding capacity, cycle stability, and rate performance of battery anode, and the capacity retention was about 87% after 50th cycle relative to the second cycle. SBR+CMC binder was more suitable for making transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs.

Multivalent cations-triggered rapid shape memory sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/polyacrylamide hydrogels with tunable mechanical strength. Carbohydr Polym 2017; 178:159-165. [PMID: 29050581 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2017.09.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2017] [Revised: 09/08/2017] [Accepted: 09/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
A novel multivalent cations-triggered shape memory hydrogels were synthesized in a one-pot method, and interpenetrating double network was formed by chemically cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) network and physically cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose network. The temporary shape was fixed by complexation between a native biopolymer, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and transition metal ions, specifically Fe3+, Ag+, Al3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Mg2+. In particular, CMC-Fe3+ hydrogel exhibits excellent shape fixity ratio (95%). Therefore, we chose PAM/CMC1.0-Fe3+ hydrogel as the model material and further investigated its shape recovery process. It was found that a wide range of molecules and anions could be applied to break off the temporary cross-links between CMC and Fe3+. The PAM/CMC composite hydrogels also exhibited excellent tunable mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of the composite hydrogel can be adjusted by changing the cross-linking densities. The presented strategy could enrich the construction as well as application of biopolymers based shape memory hydrogels.

Gelatin/carboxymethyl cellulose mucoadhesive films with lysozyme: Development and characterization. Carbohydr Polym 2016; 147:208-215. [PMID: 27178926 PMCID: PMC5450031 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2016.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2015] [Revised: 03/02/2016] [Accepted: 04/01/2016] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The goal of our study is to develop and characterize mucoadhesive films with entrapped lysozyme based on gelatin/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as perspective antimicrobial preparation. Lysozyme in mucoadhesive films retains more than 95% of its initial activity for 3 years of storage. Different physical-chemical and biochemical characteristics of entrapped enzyme were evaluated, such as film thickness, weight, time of dissolution in water, bioadhesive force, in vitro lysozyme release, pH- and thermoprofiles of hydrolytic activity, effect of γ-sterilization, etc. We have shown that gelatin/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose films have adhesive force on the level of 4380Pa. Scanning electron microscopy images shows the relative uniformity of the gelatin surface with entrapped lysozyme. Mucoadhesive films with lysozyme have 100% bactericidal effect on the test strain, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 F-49 and thus could be considered as a perspective antimicrobial preparation.

Drug release kinetics from carboxymethylcellulose-bacterial cellulose composite films. Int J Pharm 2015; 510:485-92. [PMID: 26688041 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.11.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2015] [Revised: 11/20/2015] [Accepted: 11/29/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Composite films of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and bacterial cellulose (NaCMC-BC) cross-linked with citric acid (CA) were prepared by solution casting method. Ibuprofen sodium salt (IbuNa) has been used to study the mechanism of drug release from composite films. Surface morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and proved that the BC content influences the aspect of the films. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed specific peaks in IR spectra of composite films which sustain that NaCMC was cross-linked with CA. Starting from swelling observations, the release kinetic of IbuNa was described using a model which neglects the volume expansion due to polymer swelling and which considers non-linear diffusion coefficients for drug and solvent. The IbuNa release is also influenced by BC content, the drug release rate was decreasing with the increase of BC content.

Preparation and in vitro antibacterial evaluation of gatifloxacin mucoadhesive gellan system. Daru 2010; 18:237-46. [PMID: 22615622 PMCID: PMC3304351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2010] [Revised: 10/28/2010] [Accepted: 10/30/2010] [Indexed: 11/01/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The poor bioavailability and therapeutic response exhibited by the conventional ophthalmic solutions due to precorneal elimination of the drug may be overcome by the use of mucoadhesive in situ gel forming systems that are instilled as drops into the eye and undergo a sol-gel transition in the cul-de-sac and have good mucoadhesion with ocular mucus layers. The objective of this study was to formulate ophthalmic mucoadhesive system of gatifloxacin (GTN) and to evaluate its in vitro antibacterial potential against, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. METHODS : Mucoadhesive systems were prepared using gellan combined with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) or sodium alginate to enhance the gel bioadhesion properties. The prepared formulations were evaluated for their gelation, and rheological behaviors, mucoadhesion force, in vitro drug release, and antibacterial activity. RESULTS All formulations in non-physiological or physiological conditions showed pseudoplastic behaviors. Increase in the concentration of mucoadhesive agent enhanced the mucoadhesive force significantly. In vitro release of gatifloxacin from the mucoadhesive system in simulated tear fluid (STF, pH of 7.4) was influenced significantly by the properties and concentration of gellan, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate. Significant reduction in the total bacterial count was observed between drug solution (control) and mucoadhesive batches against both tested organisms. MAJOR CONCLUSION The developed mucoadhesive system is a viable alternative to conventional eye drops of GTN due to its ability to enhance bioavailability through its longer precorneal residence time and ability to sustain the release of the drug.
