Use of Chitosan Film Coatings in the Storage of Carrots (Daucus carota)
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2008, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Chitosan film applied to coat carrot slices affected metabolic changes that increased the content of total phenolic acids and flavonoids. Chitosan coating of carrot slices delayed the overripening process and, consequently, lowered the content of reducing sugars. The use of chitosan coatings delayed the drop in the processing suitability of minimally processed carrot roots.

SENSITIVITY TO CHITOSAN ASCORBATE MICROAEROPHILIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM INFECTIONS OF ORAL CAVITY
The aim of the date was to determine the sensitivity to chitosan ascorbate microaerophilic bacteria isolated from pathological pockets, root canals and apical abscesses. Chitosan was obtained from Antarctic krill. The ex...
MECHANISM OF WATER DIFFUSION INTO NONCROSSLINKED AND IONICALLY CROSSLINKED CHITOSAN MEMBRANES
Ionically crosslinked chitosan membranes were prepared and their swelling behaviour was analysed. Low‑molecular pentasodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and/or high‑molecular sodium alginate (NaAlg) were used as ionic crosslin...
THE USE OF POLYSACCHARIDES FOR ACID RED 18 ANIONIC DYE REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
In the paper, the adsorption of Acid Red 18 (AR18) on chitosan (CHs), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and agar (AGA) was researched. The adsorption capability of biosorbents was examined as a function of initial pH,...
THE EFFECT OF CHITOSAN ON THE SYNTHESIS OF L-S-NITROSOCYSTEINE THAT PARTICIPATES IN THE REGULATION OF THE M2 PYRUVATE KINASE ISOENZYME ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH EHRLICH ASCITES CELLS PROLIFERATION IN VITRO
L-S-nitrosocysteine formation in EAT tumor cells and normal CRL-1636 cells incubated with microcrystalline chitosan was confirmed by RP-HPLC. The metabolite was identified based on UV-VIS spectra. The formation of L-S-ni...
INFLUENCE OF IMIDASOLIUM RING SUBSTITUTION ON CHITIN DISSOLUTION IN IONIC LIQUIDS
Presented paper discuss the influence of substitution of imidasolium ring on the solubility and structure of chitin. The 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride (BMIM)(Cl) and the 1-butyl-2,3- dimethyl imidazolium chloride...
