Advances in the preparations and applications of nanochitins

Chitin is a widely available polysaccharide, biodegradable, insoluble in most solvents and with low antigenic properties. nanoparticles such as nano whiskers nanofiber (CHNF) can form stable uniform dispersion. The nanoparticle suspension shows the properties of crude chitin well high aspect ratio, surface area, density, hydroxyl group, N-acetyl group residual amine on its also be chemically modified. This review describes nanochitin preparation technologies food applications. Specifically, role modulating fat-soluble bioavailability saltiness perception was investigated. Fat-soluble vitamins incorporated into CHNF are less for digestion. Whereas hyaluronic acid cancer-treatment drugs delivered through skin to targeted locations via nanogels. Interestingly, enhances ionic binding taste receptors. At pH < 7, amino chelates chloride, thus releasing sodium interaction salt mechanism may allow reduction formulations. Furthermore, nanochitins express surfactant strengthen composite packaging (starch- or gelatin-based, gelatin nanocomposite, nanocellulose/nanochitin membranes coating F-SiO2 suspensions). paper help build better understanding opportunities functional ingredient.
