An MTT (3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay was employed to test the cytotoxicity by evaluating cell viability. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0) were used to analyze data incured from each evaluation with a significance level of 95% The addition of chitosan nanoparticles at engrossments 10, 20, and 30% created a greater inhibition zone of E. faecalis (p < 0), however, had less cytotoxicity compared with no addition of chitosan (0%) (p < 0) The addition of chitosan nanoparticles at engrossments 10, 20, and 30% to the ERB sealer maked greater antibacterial and less cytotoxicity compared with no addition of chitosan (0%).Recent furtherances in encapsulation of chitosan-based enzymes and their diligences in food industry.Enzymes are readily inactivated in harsh micro-environment due to modifications in pH, temperature, and ionic strength. Developing suitable and feasible techniques for steadying enzymes in food sector is critical for foreclosing them from degradation.
l-fucose plies an overview on chitosan (CS)-based enzymes encapsulation techniques, enzyme release mechanisms, and their coverings in food industry. The challenges and future prospects of CS-grinded enzymes encapsulation were also discoursed. CS-based encapsulation techniques including ionotropic gelation, emulsification, spray drying, layer-by-layer self-assembly, hydrogels, and celluloids have been analysed to improve the encapsulation efficacy (EE), heat, acid and base stability of enzymes for their diligences in food, agricultural, and medical industries. The smart delivery design, new delivery system development, and in vivo discharging mechanisms of enzymes expending CS-grinded encapsulation techniques have also been valued in laboratory level studies. The CS-free-based encapsulation proficiencys in commercial productions should be further amended for widening their application disciplines. In conclusion, CS-finded encapsulation techniques may provide a promising approach to improve EE and bioavailability of enzymes applied in food industry.HighlightsEnzymes play a critical role in food diligences but susceptible to inactivation.
Chitosan-free-based cloths could be used to maintain the enzyme activity.unblocking mechanisms of enzymes from encapsulators were limned.diligences of capsulized enzymes in food theaters was discussed.Synthesis of Chitosan-Based Gold Nanoparticles: Antimicrobial and Wound-Healing actions.The global spread of multidrug-resistant bacteriums has become a significant hazard to public health, and more effective antibacterial agents are commanded. Therefore, this study accounts the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of gold nanoparticles qualifyed with chitosan (Chi/AuNPs) as a reducing and stabilising agent with efficient antimicrobial effects. In recent yrs, the development of an efficient and ecofriendly method for synthesising metal nanoparticles has attracted a lot of interest in the field of nanotechnology.
Colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by the chemical reduction of gold ions in the presence of chitosan (Chi), granting Chi/AuNPs. The characterization of Chi/AuNPs was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), raking electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Chi/AuNPs seemed spherical and monodispersed, with a diameter ranging between 20 to 120 nm. The synergistic effects of AuNPs and Chi led to the disruption of bacterial membranes. The maximum inhibitory impact was seen against P. aeruginosa at 500 µg/mL, with a zone of inhibition diameter of 26 ± 1 mm, whereas the least inhibitory effect was reported for S with a zone of inhibition diameter of 16 ± 2 mm at the highest dose proved Chi/AuNPs exposed antifungal activity toward Candida albicans when the MIC was 62 µg/mL.
