Chapter 1- Application of chitosan in active food packaging
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Food packaging has an essential role in protecting food products from external factors such as heat, oxidation, and light. Improvements in food packaging studies created active packaging that aims at extending perishable ... -
Chitosan and Oregano Oil Treatments, Individually or in Combination, Used To Increase the Shelf Life of Vacuum-Packaged, Refrigerated European Eel () Fillets.
( International Association for Food Protection , 2019 , Article)We investigated the impact of chitosan and oregano essential oil (EO) individually or in combination on the quality of eel fillets in vacuum packaging (VP) and stored under refrigeration (4°C). Treatments studied were (i) ... -
Chitosan gold nanoparticles for detection of amplified nucleic acids isolated from sputum
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)A platform for nucleic acid detection employing chitosan and chitosan coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) was used as a model target. MTB DNA was extracted from sputum using ... -
Effects of Chitosan and Natamycin on Vacuum-Packaged Phyllo: A Pastry Product.
( International Association for Food Protection , 2018 , Article)The effects of vacuum packaging, chitosan (1.5%, w/v), and natamycin (10 mg/L, w/v) on phyllo pastry quality were studied by monitoring microbiological, chemical, and sensory changes. Five lots were prepared with or without ... -
"green" ZnO-Interlinked Chitosan Nanoparticles for the Efficient Inhibition of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Inject Seawater
( American Chemical Society , 2018 , Article)Antimicrobial agents and corrosion inhibitors are widely used as biocides in the oil and gas industry to disinfect water and inhibit excessive biofilm formation caused mainly by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRBs). However, ... -
Nose-to-brain delivery of BACE1 siRNA loaded in solid lipid nanoparticles for Alzheimer’s therapy
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)Abstract We designed a delivery system to obtain an efficient and optimal nose-to-brain transport of BACE1 siRNA, potentially useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. We selected a cell-penetrating peptide, the short ... -
Shelf-life of smoked eel fillets treated with chitosan or thyme oil
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)The present study examined the effect of natural antimicrobials: Chitosan, thyme oil and their combination, on the shelf- life of smoked eel fillets stored under vacuum packaging (VP) at 4°C. Based on sensory odor data ... -
