The high molecular weight of chitin, as a biopolymer, challenges its extraction due to its
insolubility in the solvents. Also, chitosan, as the N-deacetylated form of chitin, can be …

In the review a new class of green solvents–Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) as media for
polysaccharides treatment has been presented. They are an alternative for ionic liquids, non …

In this work, chitosan/lignosulfonate composite micelles (CS-LS) were successfully prepared
through polyelectrolyte self-assembly. Curcumin was encapsulated in CS-LS to obtain CUR …

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) as plasticizers of chitosan film show great potential for food
packaging. This paper introduced some novel antioxidant and antibacterial films based on …

Background Nonbiodegradable plastics have brought a variety of issues associated with
human health and environmental pollution. Thus, biodegradable films have attracted interest …

The problems with plastic materials and the good film‐forming properties of polysaccharides
motivated research in the development of polysaccharide‐based films. In the last 5 years …

The purpose of this study was to develop biodegradable films made of cationic potato starch-
derivatives and loaded with curcumin. Potato starch was recovered from potato peel waste …

Novel chitosan (Ch) films containing choline chloride and citric acid mixture as plasticizer
(deep eutectic solvent, DES) and different amounts of quercetin (QUE) as antioxidant …

Biodegradable chitosan/gelatin (CS/GEL) films have attracted attention as food packaging,
but the poor water sensitivity and functional limitations of these films should be addressed. In …

Chitosan-based composites play an important role in food packaging applications and can
be used either as films or as edible coatings. Due to their high costs and lower performance …
