This paper attempted to construct a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) through altering interfacial behaviors using the electrostatic interaction between positive chitosan and negative octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch. The partial polysaccharide complex of OSA starch/chitosan was used to stabilize HIPE, which was able to adsorb at the oil droplet interface and prevent the coalescence of oil droplets. The wettability of OSA starch was enhanced with the addition of positively charged chitosan, leading to the formation of partial complexes. The impact of pH and concentration of chitosan on the droplet size, surface charge, and interface behavior were investigated, and the formation of the polysaccharide complex was further confirmed by atomic force microscopy. The presence of the OSA starch/chitosan complex facilitated the formation of stable HIPE with a gel-like structure and satisfactory centrifugal and oxidative stability. These results are useful to provide information for fabricating polysaccharide-based HIPE delivery systems, which may help expand their application in the food industry.

Alumina, as a support material, was loaded together with chitosan and hydroxyapatite to form chitosan/Al 2 O 3 -HA composite beads and was used for estradiol and chrysoidin removal from aqueous solution in the present work. The physicochemical properties of the beads were studied with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. FTIR spectra confirmed that the chitosan was loaded successfully on Al 2 O 3 -HA, and functional groups were immobilized onto the surface of the beads after the synthesis. The adsorption condition including pH, the amount of adsorbent, initial concentration and time were evaluated during the batch experiments. Isotherm data best matched the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model best described the adsorption kinetics . The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 39.78 mg/g and 23.26 mg/g for estradiol and chrysoidine, respectively. The adsorbed estradiol and chrysoidin were completely eluted from the composite beads with the eluent of 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 /MeOH and the regenerated material was used in several cycles without deterioration in its initial performances. This study suggests that the developed composite beads have high potential for the efficient removal estradiol and chrysoidin from aqueous solution.

Although a massive research has been devoted on the exploration of noble metal–based nanozyme, less progress has been made in the investigation of palladium (Pd) nanozyme and the interaction between ions and Pd nanozyme. In this study, a new type of Pd nanozyme was prepared by a facile one-pot approach by using carboxylated chitosan as the stabilizer. Owing to the synergistic effect of carboxylated chitosan stabilized Pd nanoparticles (CC-PdNPs) can effectively catalyze the H 2 O 2 -mediated oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine sulfate (TMB) accompanied by a blue color change (oxidized TMB), indicating the peroxidase-like activity of CC-PdNPs. Furthermore, the Michaelis-Menten constants and catalytic stability of CC-PdNPs render them suitable for environmental analysis and bio-detection. Here, we found that while introducing the iodine ions (I − ) into the reaction medium, the peroxidase-like activity of CC-PdNPs has been rapidly and effectively inhibited through the formation of Pd-I bond; thus, the active sites of PdNPs can be blocked by I − . Based on this specific inhibition by I − , a facile colorimetric assay has been performed for the detection of I − with an extremely low limit of detection (0.19 nM). Furthermore, the practicality of the proposed sensor also has been demonstrated in tap water, and the satisfactory recoveries were obtained. Our study not only demonstrated a novel Pd–based nanozyme but also provided guidance for I − sensing for environmental analysis, food inspection, and bio-detection.

This study explored the impact of re-acetylation on induced electric field (IEF)-assisted hydrolysis of chitosan. Chitosan with different degree of deacetylation (DD) exhibited different charge content but similar electrical conductivity and output voltage of the electrolyte system, thus theoretically resulting in equivalent electro-processing efficiency. However, molecular and rheological measurements suggested that the hydrolysis rate decreased with an increase of DD. Re-acetylation had no significant effect on the molecular weight and viscosity of chitosan but damaged its granular and crystal structure, making chitosan chains more susceptible to the acid. The IEF-assisted hydrolysis of dissolved chitosan confirmed that the structural compactness of chitosan played a more important role on the hydrolysis than the charge content. This study extended current knowledge regarding the effect of charge content and structural compactness on IEF-assisted hydrolysis process, which contributed to the applications of IEF in biopolymer modification.

In the study of glycoproteomics with mass spectrometry, certain pretreatments of samples are required for eliminating the interference of nonglycopeptides and improving the efficiency of glycopeptides detection. Although hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) has been developed for enrichment of glycosylated peptides, a plethora of hydrophilic materials always suffered from large steric hindrance, great cost, and difficulty with modifications of high-density hydrophilic groups. In this work, a 1 mm thick biomimetic honeycomb chitosan membrane (BHCM) with honeycomb-like accessible macropores was directly prepared by the freeze-casting method as an adsorbent for HILIC. The N-glycopeptides from trypsin digests of immunoglobulin G (IgG), mixture of IgG and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and serum proteins were enriched using this material and compared with a commercial material ZIC-HILIC. The biomimetic membrane could identify as many as 32 N-glycopeptides from the IgG digest, exhibiting high sensitivity (about 50 fmol) and a wide scope for glycopeptide enrichment. A molar ratio of IgG trypsin digest to bovine serum albumin trypsin digest as low as 1/500 verified the outstanding specificity and efficiency for glycopeptide enrichment. In addition, 270 unique N-glycosylation sites of 400 unique glycopeptides from 146 glycosylated proteins were identified from the triplicate analysis of 2 μL human serum. Furthermore, 48 unique O-glycosylation sites of 278 unique O-glycopeptides were identified from the triplicate analysis of 30 μg deglycosylated fetuin digest. These results indicated that the chitosan-based membrane prepared in this work had great potential for pretreatment of samples in glycoproteomics.

Highly dispersible TiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared through the hydrolysis of titanium alcohol, and a series of TiO 2 -modified zein/chitosan (CS) films were prepared through a process involving blending, solution casting and evaporation. The mechanical properties and the antibacterial capacity of the zein/CS/TiO 2 films were characterized to explore the effects of different TiO 2 nanoparticle contents. Results showed that the addition of nanoscale TiO 2 remarkably improved the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the zein/CS/TiO 2 film. The tensile strength of the zein/CS/TiO 2 films significantly increased (p<0.05) with the increasing TiO 2 loadings in films, reaching a maximum of 28.33 ± 1.53 MPa at 0.15 wt % TiO 2 nanoparticles. The antibacterial effect of the composite films on Gram-positive bacteria ( S. aureus ) was more significant than that of Gram-negative bacteria ( E. coli and S. enteritidis ), and the antibacterial effect of UV light was better than that of dark conditions. In particular, the inhibition zones of zein/CS/TiO 2 (0.15%) film against E. coli , S. enteritidis and S. aureus under UV light condition increased by 21.78%, 21.45%, and 26.44%, respectively, compared with the control. This study suggested that adding highly dispersible TiO 2 nanoparticles is an effective method for improving the mechanical and antimicrobial properties of zein/CS films for various applications, such as medical and food packaging.

In this study, acrylic acid (AA) and sulfonated hydroxypropyl chitosan (SHPCS) were covalently grafted on the PSf membrane surface to improve its hemocompatibility. First, the modified AA-PSf membrane was obtained through the Friedel–Craft reaction between acrylic acid and the PSf membrane surface. Then, the modified SHPCS-AA-PSf membrane was prepared by grafting SHPCS onto the AA-PSf membrane surface via the dehydration acylation of the carboxyl group of the AA-PSf membrane with the amino group of SHPCS. ATR-FTIR and XPS measurements confirmed that the –COOH group and SHPCS were successfully grafted onto the surface of the PSf membrane. The modified PSf membranes showed suppressed platelet adhesion and lower protein adsorption (161 μg cm−2) compared with the pristine PSf membrane (341 μg cm−2). Hemocompatibility testing showed that modified membrane materials had a prolonged clotting time, plasma recalcification time (PRT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and prothrombin time (PT). All of these results indicated that the surface modification of the PSf membrane with acrylic acid and SHPCS had good hemocompatibility and anticoagulant property.

Environmentally friendly food packaging currently attracts much interest. Sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) finds specialized applications in food, but it is rarely used as a crosslinking agent. In this study, STMP was used as a crosslinking agent to prepare chitosan/methylcellulose composite films. Both antibacterial and physicochemical properties of the composite film were improved by crosslinking with STMP. The crosslinked films, with good antibacterial activity (~99%), had increased tensile strength, a higher elongation at break, a lower swelling ratio and solubility, and a lower enzymatic degradation than the non-crosslinked films. Furthermore, the crosslinked films showed an excellent preservative effect on fresh-cut wax gourd after three days at room temperature. The obtained films crosslinked by STMP can be potentially applied to the food industry, such as food functional packaging, providing a novel alternative to traditional plastic packages.Keywords:sodium trimetaphosphate;chitosan/methylcellulose composite film;antibacterial activity;physicochemical property;food packaging

The titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used for dental and orthopedic implants. However, the Ti-based implants may suffer from bacterial infection, which would result in insufficient healing, implant failure and repeated surgical intervention. It is of great interest to inhibit the bacterial adhesion and colonization on the Ti-based implants by introducing proper surface coatings. In this work, a simple method was employed to synthesize the water-soluble catechol-containing chitosan (CACS). The CACS coatings can be deposited onto various substrate surfaces and exhibit substrate-independent behavior. The CACS-coated Ti surfaces were further deposited with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) via in-situ reduction of Ag + ions using catechol moieties as the reducing agents. The resulting AgNPs/CACS-coated Ti surfaces exhibit antibacterial properties and can prevent the surface adhesion of bacterial cells, as evidenced by the inhibition zone test, live/dead bacterial staining assay and spread plate method. In addition, they show negligible cytotoxicity to L929 mouse fibroblast cells.

Graphene oxide (GO) and ball-milled maleamic acid–isobutyl polyoctahedral silsesquioxanes (MAIPSs) were incorporated simultaneously into chitosan (CS) via solution blending to evaluate their combined effects on the structures and properties of composite films. GO and MAIPS aggregates were homogeneously dispersed in CS and affected the crystallinities of the composite films. The binary addition of GO and MAIPS resulted in synergistic enhancements of the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite films. Composite films containing 3% w/w MAIPS and 0.25% w/w GO (CS–GO–MAIPS-3) exhibited the highest strength and modulus, which were 48 and 42.2% higher, respectively, than the values of the CS film. The water-vapor-sorption isotherms revealed that monolayer sorption sites decreased with the addition of GO or/and MAIPS, but the dissolution process was not significantly influenced. The water-vapor permeability reached its lowest value for the CS–GO–MAIPS-3 film because of hindered diffusion with the presence of impermeable nanoparticles. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Groundwater contaminated by arsenic endangers our health. Therefore, in this work, a novel composite adsorbent consisting of magnetic chitosan (MCS), zinc oxide (ZnO), and sodium alginate (Alg) was prepared to remove arsenic from groundwater. First, chitosan was coated on the surface of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles by coprecipitation. Then, MCS/ZnO@Alg gel beads were fabricated by combining MCS with ZnO and Alg , and crosslinking the composite material in the presence of Ca 2+ ions. The MCS/ZnO@Alg beads were characterized by SEM, FTIR spectroscopy , XRD, VSM, and XPS . The adsorption experiments revealed that the MCS/ZnO@Alg magnetic gel beads have high stability and As(V) adsorption capability, and adsorbed As(V) through chemical adsorption. The maximum As(V) adsorption capacity as determined from the Langmuir model was 63.69 mg/g. In addition, MCS/ZnO@Alg exhibited good recyclability and high sustainability. This work proves that the MCS/ZnO@Alg gel beads are an ideal candidate for addressing the grievous environmental threats caused by water pollution.

Polysaccharide-modified flocculants as natural polymeric flocculants are receiving increased attention in the field of water treatment. In this study, a novel high-efficiency and ecofriendly flocculant was synthesized using dextran and chitosan. The flocculant-production method was based on a microwave-heating-initiated graft reaction. Results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the grafting was successful. The influences of temperature, flocculant dosage, and pH on flocculation efficiency were investigated. Results indicated that 93.6% of the kaolin solid suspended particles were removed by the flocculant. Previous studies on the flocculation mechanism have shown that flocculation comprises adsorption bridging, charge neutralization, and sweeping flocculation. All these findings indicated the broad prospects of the improved dextran in treating industrial wastewater and developing novel high-performance flocculants.
