Chitosan is a bio-renewable natural polymeric material. The antibacterial and antioxidant
activity of chitosan can be enhanced by grafting with phenolic acids to further expand its …

Food proteins, polysaccharides, and polyphenols are 3 major food constituents with
distinctly different functional attributes. Many proteins and polysaccharides are capable of …

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the grafting of phenolic acid onto
chitosan in order to enhance the bioactivity and widen the application of chitosan. Here, we …

Gallic acid and its derivatives not only exhibit excellent antioxidant, anticarcinogenic,
antimutagenic, antimicrobial properties but also provide protection to the cells against …

The major objective of this work was to develop a green and facile process to prepare gallic
acid–chitosan conjugate and comprehensively evaluate the physicochemical properties and …

Chitosan is very attractive in the food industry due to its good biocompatibility and high
biodegradability. In particular, it can be used as a preferred material for the fabrication of …

In this study, antimicrobial activity of gallic acid-grafted-chitosans (gallic acid-g-chitosans)
against five Gram-positive and five Gram-negative foodborne pathogens was evaluated. The …

In this study, gallic acid (GA) was grafted onto O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMCS) by a free
radical-mediated method. The synthesized GA grafted CMCS (GA-g-CMCS) was …

Natural polysaccharides are important biopolymers with unique physicochemical properties
and valuable biological activities. Due to the lack of sufficient functional groups, the …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is spreading worldwide, emphasizing
the need to search for new antibiotics. The anti-MRSA activities of gallic acid-grafted …
