In the last decade, an increasing number of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chitin and chitosan applications have been reported. Their commercial demands have been extended to different markets, such as cosmetics, medicine, biotechnology, food and textiles. Marine wastes from fisheries and aquaculture are susceptible sources for polymers but optimized processes for their recovery and production must...

Verticillium wilt of potato is a major limiting factor in potato production caused by Verticillium dahliae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy two elicitors including Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and Chitosan as plant activator in controlling of potato verticillium wilt in vitro and greenhouse conditions. ASM and chitosan were tested in vitro using Potato dextrose Agar (PDA)...

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of Chitosan-Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) in seed Salicornia bigelovii under field conditions Sonora, Mexico. During two vegetative cycles (2018/2019–2019/2020), cuttings S. were treated with 100 and 50% Chitosan from shrimp exoskeletons indole butyric acid at 0.937 1.25 g·kg−1 placed basins Sonora desert, Variables measured: production, physic...

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS), the degraded products of chitosan, have been demonstrated to have versatile biological functions. In primary studies, it has displayed significant adjuvant effects when mixed with other vaccines. In this study, chitosan oligosaccharides with different deacetylation degrees were prepared and conjugated to porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) subunit vaccine to enhanc...

This study investigates the production of alginate microcapsules, which have been coated with the polysaccharide chitosan, and evaluates some of their properties with the intention of improving the gastrointestinal viability of a probiotic ( Bifidobacterium breve ) by encapsulation in this system. The microcapsules were dried by a variety of methods, and the most suitable was chosen. The work d...

In this work, we propose the reuse of apple pomace as a substrate for fungal chitosan production by liquid cultivation of Gongronella butleri CCT4274. Different concentrations of reducing sugars and sodium nitrate were added to the aqueous extract of apple pomace and the best result was obtained with 40 g/L of reducing sugars and 2.5 g/L of sodium nitrate. The results indicate the possibility o...

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have gained a lot of attention in drug delivery systems because they can control a drug pathway to deliver it to the specific site under a magnetic field which is related to their magnetic core and surface coating. Chitosan-coated FeNPs, have prominent antimicrobial and biological properties that make chitosan a promising biopolymer for drug delivery applicatio...

 D. kotschyi is a source of essential oils with medicinal properties such as antihyperlipidemic, immunomodulatory, antinociceptive and cytotoxic effects. This study aimed to investigate whether the application of chitosan can improve plant growth, increase secondary metabolite production and help antioxidant enzymatic systems in Dracocephalum kotschyi under in vitro culture. Tow-week-old seedli...
