Chitosan and improved pigment ink jet printing on textilesMomin, Nasar, nasarhm@gmail.com January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to explore two ways of the application of chitosan, a biopolymer, for ink jet printing of textiles. 1) To apply chitosan as a post-treatment on the fabric ink jet printed with pigment based inks for the fixation of pigments on the fabric. 2) To incorporate chitosan as a binder in pigment based ink jet ink formulations. The incorporation of chitosan was carried out in two ways. 1) Direct addition of chitosan into the ink formulations containing surface modified pigments. 2) Preparation of chitosan encapsulated pigment nanoparticles using complex coacervation technique and using these nanoparticles for the formulation of ink jet ink. The degree of deacetylation (DD) was determined using FTIR spectroscopy. Various protocols proposed by researchers were used to determine the DD of chitosan samples used in the present study. The protocol proposed by Raut was found to be fairly accurate in determining the DD of chitosan samples. The molecular weight of chitosan was estimated using dilute solution viscometry method. The characterisation of the film forming ability of chitosan was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The colour strength (K/S), colour difference, colour characteristics and colour fastness to laundering and rubbing of ink jet printed fabrics post treated with chitosan were evaluated using standard methods. Post-treatment (pad-dry-cure method) of cotton fabric ink jet printed with pigment based inks revealed that chitosan could effectively fix the pigments on cotton compared to the commercial textile binders and the water-soluble derivative of chitosan. The chemical interaction between chitosan and cotton fabric was illustrated by FTIR-ATR analysis and through determination of carboxyl group content. The ink jet printed cotton fabric post treated with 3gpl chitosan (MW 156,156) maintained almost 86% of bacterial reduction against Klebsiella Pneumoniae even after 50 launderings. Inks containing chitosan were formulated and were found to be stable in terms of mean particle size and viscosity over a period of one month and for 4 freeze/thaw cycles. A magenta ink containing chitosan was selected for ink jet printing of cotton fabric. It was found that the DF was around 97% for magenta ink containing chitosan compared to around 53% fixation for magenta ink without chitosan on cotton fabric. Surface modified carbon black pigment with carboxylated (COO-) surface functionality was selected to prepare chitosan encapsulated pigment nanoparticles by complex coacervation technique. Chitosan encapsulated pigment nanoparticles with mean particle size diameter of 876 nm and 742 nm were formed when 5 ml of 0.1% w/v pigment was mixed with 2ml and 3ml of 0.1% w/v chitosan, respectively. However, no correlation was found between the particle size of the nanoparticles formed and the concentration of chitosan. The DF with ink containing chitosan encapsulated pigment nanoparticles was found to be around 98% while the blank ink with only surface modified carbon black pigment showed 44% fixation.

Investigation of film forming properties of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of β-chitosan / Investigation of film forming properties of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of beta-chitosanChen, Jeremy L. 27 April 2012 (has links)
The objectives of this project were to investigate the critical factors impacting the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of β-chitosan based films derived from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens, and to evaluate the feasibility of improving water solubility of β-chitosan through Maillard reaction. The studies examined the effect of molecular weight (1,815 and 366 kDa), acid (formic, acetic, propionic, and lactic acid), and plasticizer (glycerol and sorbitol) on the film properties, as well as reducing sugar (fructose and glucosamine) and heat treatment (high temperature short time (HTST), low temperature long time (LTLT)) on water solubility of chitosan. Results on β-chitosan were compared with α-chitosan in both studies.
Tensile strength (TS) and elongation (EL) of β-chitosan films were influenced by molecular weight (Mw), acid and plasticizer types (P < 0.05). High molecular weight (Hw) β-chitosan films had an overall TS of 44 MPa, 53% higher than that of low
molecular weight (Lw) β-chitosan films (29 MPa) across all acid types used. The mean TS of β-chitosan acetate and propionate films (43 and 39 MPa) were higher (P < 0.05) than that of β-chitosan formate and lactate films (34 and 29 MPa). Films incorporated with plasticizer (32 MPa) had lower TS than those without plasticizer (48 MPa). Mean EL of Hw β-chitosan films was 10% versus approximately 4% in Lw β-chitosan films. Formate and acetate films had higher EL than that of propionate film. Glycerol and sorbitol increased (P < 0.001) EL 151% and 106% compared with the films without plasticizer, respectively. Water vapor permeability (WVP) of the films was affected by acid and plasticizer. Formate films (34 g mm/m² d KPa) had higher WVP than other acid films. Adding plasticizer increased (11% to 31%) WVP of propionate films except the Lw β-chitosan propionate film with sorbitol. The antibacterial activity of Lw β-chitosan and α-chitosan films delayed (P < 0.05) the proliferation of E. coli, where lactate films showed the strongest effect. The growth of L. innocua at 24 h was completely (P < 0.05) inhibited by chitosan films except Hw β-chitosan acetate film.
A soft and cotton-like water soluble chitosan with mesopores was acquired after freeze-drying the Maillard reacted chitosan-sugar solution. The yield of β-chitosan-derivatives (8.48%) was 1.21 times higher than that of α-chitosan products (7.00%) (P < 0.01). Heat treatment only affected the yield of chitosan-glucosamine derivatives. Sugar type did not indicate any impact on the yield of the chitosan-derivative products in general (P > 0.05). The solubility was affected by sugar type (P < 0.01) only occurred in the β-chitosan products prepared with LTLT (P<0.05), where β-chitosan-fructose derivatives (9.56 g/L) had higher solubility than the glucosamine (5.19 g/L).LTLT
treatment had given all chitosan-derivatives a higher solubility (8.44 g/L) than HTST (3.83 g/L) did (P<0.001).
The results from this study demonstrated the feasibility of creating β-chitosan based film from jumbo squid pens with similar mechanical, water barrier and antibacterial properties compare to α-chitosan films as a food wrap and controlled the properties with several important factors, and developing water soluble chitosan through Maillard reaction that possess the potential as functional substance in a wider range of applications. / Graduation date: 2012

Physical Characteristics and Metal Binding Applications of Chitosan FilmsJones, Joshua B 01 August 2010 (has links)
Chitosan films are an excellent media for binding metal ions due to the electrostatic nature of the chitosan molecules. Addition of cross-linking or plasticizing agents alters texture of the films, but their effect on metal-binding capacity has not been fully characterized. The objective of this research was to determine effects of plasticizers and cross-linkers on physical and metal-binding properties of chitosan films and coatings prepared by casting and by spincoating. Chitosan films were prepared using 1% w/w chitosan in 1% acetic acid with or without (control) additives. Plasticizing agents were tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and glycerol while citric acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and tetraethylene glycol diacrylate (TEGDA) were used as cross-linkers. The additives were applied in concentrations of 0.10%, 0.25%, and 0.50% w/w of film-forming solution. The films were prepared by casting and by spincoating. Films were cast at ambient conditions for tests within one week (fresh films) and eight weeks (aged) after casting. The cast films were evaluated for thickness, residual moisture (by the Karl Fischer method), Cr(VI) binding capacity, puncture strength, and puncture deformation while the chitosan coatings were tested for thickness, Cr(VI) binding capacity, solubility in aqueous solution, and surface morphology (using atomic force microscopy). Cast films with cross-linkers showed an increase in resistance to puncture while plasticized films become more elastomeric. Control films bound 97.2% Cr(VI) ions from solution (0.56 mg Cr(VI)/g film), and addition of plasticizers did not affect chromium binding, tying up to 96.7% Cr(VI) ions from solution (0.56 mg Cr(VI)/g film). Films containing cross-linkers yielded binding capabilities ranging from 42.3% to 94.3% bound Cr(VI) ions (0.26-0.52 mg Cr(VI)/g film). Ultrathin coatings also possess the ability to bind Cr(VI) from solution, though only a maximum of 7.4% of Cr(VI) ions could be bound from solution, the thin films had the ability to bind up to 224 mg Cr(VI)/g ultrathin film. These coatings use less chitosan, but they display greater binding per mass. Overall, plasticizers do not alter, while cross-linkers may reduce, the binding capacity of chitosan films, but physical properties of the films can be controlled by inclusion of additives.

Depolymerization of Chitosan by High-Pressure Homogenization and the Effect on Antimicrobial PropertiesLyons, Deidra Shannon 01 August 2011 (has links)
The focus of this study was to look at relationship between polydispersity caused by high pressure homogenization and molecular weight dependent antimicrobial activity of chitosan. It has been shown that chitosan has antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Chitosan is obtained by partial de-N-acetylation of chitin which, consists of a ß 1-4 copolymer of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine residues. In this experiment we compared chitosan of sixteen different molecular weights after being processed through a high pressure homogenizer. Processed chitosan (420 kDa average molecular weight, 30% of acetylation) was dissolved in a 1% (v/v) acetic acid in water to a final concentration of 1% (w/v) and apparent viscosity of 183 MPa. The chitosan solution was passed through a high pressure homogenizer with 0-5 passes at pressure levels 0, 100, 200, and 300 MPa. After processing, the chitosan acetate was investigated to determine the effect on polydispersity in terms of molecular weight and the antimicrobial properties of chitosan at different molecular weights. All compounds were tested against Escherichia coli K-12 to determine antimicrobial activity. There is growing interest in the application of chitosan in food industry due to its wide range of desirable properties including being non-toxic and biodegradability. However, as a hydrophobic material, it is very challenging to work with. Though chitosan is a challenge to work my findings indicated a strong antimicrobial relationship with chitosan at 1% concentration with a molecular weight of 200 kDa and lower against E. coli. In conclusion chitosan has viable application with a variety of foods and can be used as a preservative that decrease bacterial activity below detection level’s and helps to prolong shelf-stable products.

Growth of phytopathogenic fungi in the presence of partially acetylated chitooligosaccharidesOliveira Jr, E. N., Gueddari, Nour E. El, Moerschbacher, Bruno M., Peter, Martin, Franco, Telma January 2008 (has links)
Four phytopathogenic fungi were cultivated up to six days in media containing chitooligosaccharide mixtures differing in average DP and FA. The three different mixtures were named Q3 (which contained oligosaccharides ofDP2–DP10, withDP2–DP7 asmain components), Q2 (which contained oligosaccharides of DP2–DP12, with DP2–DP10 as main components) and Q1 (which derived from Q2 and contained oligomers of DP5–DP8 with hexamer and a heptamer as the main components). The novel aspect of this work is the description of the effect of mixtures of oligosaccharides with different and known composition on fungal growth rates. The growth rate of Alternaria alternata and Rhizopus stolonifer was initially inhibited by Q3 and Q2 at higher concentrations. Q1 had a growth stimulating effect on these two fungi. Growth of Botrytis cinerea was inhibited by Q3 and Q2, while Q1 had no effect on the growth of this fungus. Growth of Penicillium expansum was only slightly inhibited by higher concentrations of sample Q3, while Q2 and Q1 had no effect. The inhibition of growth rates or their resistance toward chitooligosaccharides correlated with the absence or presence of chitinolytic enzymes in the culture media, respectively.

Analysis and entrapment of select antioxidants from chokecherry and Saskatoon berry fruitsKonecsni, Kelly Alyson 03 June 2011
The major objectives of this research were to produce a phenolic rich isolate from two locally grown Saskatchewan fruits, chokecherries and saskatoons, develop an encapsulation system for the phenolic isolate, and test this system for the delivery of the phenolic isolate in an animal (rat) model.
Natural phenolic compounds present in plants such as fruits have antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities, which have been proposed to have health benefits. The extraction of these compounds from plants is commonly performed using methanol despite being toxic to both humans and animals. As such, ethanol was investigated for its ability to extract phenolics from plants as a food safe alternative to methanol. Phenolic extraction from chokecherries with ethanol:formic acid:water (EFW) resulted in higher concentrations (9.83 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g fresh weight) than with methanol:formic acid:water (MFW) (7.97 mg GAE/g fresh weight). Results from saskatoons showed similar phenolic levels of 4.26 and 4.21 mg GAE/g fresh weight with MFW and ethanol (EFW), respectively. These results showed that EFW was a suitable substitute for MFW in phenolic compound isolation from chokecherries and saskatoons, and could be used to produce extracts that were safe for use in foods and feeds.
High performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA) was used to determine the phenolic compound composition of the raw fruits and their phenolic rich isolates. Chlorogenic acid was identified in both chokecherry and saskatoon samples, and rutin was also shown to be present in saskatoons. These identifications were based on the relative retention time and ultra violet-visual spectra comparisons to standards. Solid phase extraction (SPE) using Amberlite XAD-16 was employed to produce phenolic isolates from chokecherries and saskatoons. HPLC-PDA results determined that there was a ~2.7x and ~1.6x increase in peak area for chokecherries and saskatoons, respectively when SPE was employed. The antioxidant activity of the extracts and isolates was determined using in vitro radical scavenging tests including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2´-azinobis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-sulphonic acid (ABTS). The EFW chokecherry extract and isolate had the highest overall free radical scavenging activity. Crude fruit extracts exhibited lower free radical scavenging values compared to the isolate samples in both of the assays performed.
The fruit phenolic isolates were encapsulated in chitosan (CH) sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) nanoparticles at a ratio of 4.0:1.0 (CH:TPP). HPLC-PDA was used to determine the entrapment efficiency of phenolic isolates to be 15.9 ± 2.7% and 23.0 ± 7.1% for chokecherries and saskatoons, respectively. Characteristics such as the size, surface potential and phenolic release were determined for the two fruit isolate containing nanoparticles. The size of the nanoparticles were 527.90 ± 74.57 nm and 443.03 ± 15.79 nm for chokecherries and saskatoons, respectively. Both of the nanoparticle systems had positive surface charges at 52.70 ± 2.93 mV and 54.43 ± 1.27 mV for chokecherries and saskatoons, respectively. The release properties of the CH:TPP nanoparticles containing fruit phenolics were examined in enzymatic simulated intestinal fluid and resulted in ~23% and ~28% release of chokecherry and saskatoon phenolics, respectively.
Saskatoon phenolic isolates and isolates encapsulated in CH:TPP were gavage fed to rats (six animals in each of the two groups) at a dosage rate of 276.36 ± 9.74 mg/kg body weight. The saskatoon isolate contained 12.44 ± 0.44 mg/kg body weight anthocyanins (~3.30 mg anthocyanin per rat). These animals were sacrificed after 1 h and all stomach tissue samples in each of the treatment groups contained detectable levels of anthocyanins. In the small intestine tissues all six of the saskatoon isolate and three of the encapsulated isolate groups had detectable amounts of anthocyanins, while in the large intestine tissue, only one sample from the isolate group showed detectable amounts of anthocyanins. Although other tissues were tested (brain, heart, kidney and liver), anthocyanins were not detected. Therefore anthocyanins were detected in the gastrointestinal tract of both of the treatment groups.
The research performed therefore illustrated that phenolic compounds can be extracted from fruit sources using EFW and can be successfully encapsulated in chitosan tripolyphosphate capsules allowing for targeted delivery in an animal model.

Chitosan-Sericin Blend Membranes for Controlled Release of DrugsEslami, Shahabedin 22 December 2011 (has links)
The peak and valley problems caused by oral administration, injection or other conventional methods, call for developing systems that can deliver therapeutics more effectively. As one of the techniques, diffusion-controlled drug release membranes have significant interest due to great ease with which they can be designed to achieve near-zeroth-order release kinetics. Since diffusion is the rate-limiting step in these systems, determining the permeability and diffusivity of drug molecules in the membrane is therefore important in evaluating drug release performance.
This study focuses on the Membrane Permeation Controlled Release (MPC) system, which involves a non-porous (dense) membrane, comprising of two biopolymers, sericin and chitosan. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride were used as hydrophilic model drugs, and nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone (Nitrofurazon) was used as a hydrophobic model drug. Permeation experiments were carried out in a semi-infinite reservoir/receptor system to simulate in-vitro drug release.
The intrinsic permeability and diffusivity (P, D) of the drugs through the membranes were determined using a modified time-lag method based on short time permeation and mass balance method based on long time permeation. The partition coefficients Kd of the drugs in the membranes and the swelling degree of the membranes were determined by sorption/desorption experiments. The diffusivities of the drugs were also determined from the sorption/desorption kinetics. Over the experimental ranges tested, the drug concentration and membrane cross-linking did not have significant effects on these parameters presumably due to the relatively low drug concentrations and mild crosslinkings of the membranes. The diffusivity coefficients of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, (+)-cis-diltiazem hydrochloride and nitrofurazon in the membranes were found to be in the range of (2.0-2.6)×〖10〗^(-9)±2.6×〖10〗^(-10) cm2/s, (2.5-2.6) ×〖10〗^(-9)±1.1×〖10〗^(-10) and (38-134) ×〖10〗^(-9)±33.1×〖10〗^(-9) (cm2/s), respectively, and their permeability coefficients were in the range of (24-29)×〖10〗^(-8),(51-52) ×〖10〗^(-8) and (131-169) ×〖10〗^(-8) (cm2/s), respectively. The partition coefficients were determined to be around 0.91±0.21, 25±0.12 and 26±0.31, respectively. The diffusivity coefficients determined from sorption experiments for ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, diltiazem hydrochloride and nitrofurazon were found to be in the range of (3.2-7.6) ×〖10〗^(-9)±6.3×〖10〗^(-8), (6-10) ×〖10〗^(-9)±2.6×〖10〗^(-8) and (15-18) ×〖10〗^(-9)±2.7×〖10〗^(-7) (cm2/s), respectively. Also the diffusivity coefficients determined from sorption experiments for ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, diltiazem hydrochloride and nitrofurazon were in the range of (20-47) ×〖10〗^(-9), (12-24) ×〖10〗^(-9) and (11-20) ×〖10〗^(-9) (cm2/s), respectively. Nonetheless the differences in the diffusivities calculated from permeation and sorption/desorption experiments are considered to be acceptable, in view of the different experimental techniques used in this work, for the purpose of comparison of the membrane diffusivity and permeability.

Preparation Of Chitosan-polyvinylpyrrolidone Microspheres And Films For Controlled Release And Targeting Of 5-fluorouracilOzerkan, Taylan 01 September 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Controlled drug delivery systems deliver drugs at predetermined rates for extended periods. Although there are various types such as capsules, tablets etc, micro and nano spheres are the most commonly used systems. In this study, a set of chitosan-polyvinylpyrrolidone (CH-PVP) microspheres containing different amounts of polyvinylpyrrolidone as semi inter penetrating networks (semi-IPN) were prepared as controlled release systems. Emulsification method was applied for the preparation of microspheres and some of them were conjugated with a monoclonal antibody which is immunoglobulin G (IgG). CH-PVP films were also prepared by solvent casting method with the same composition as in the microspheres and, mechanical and surface properties of the films were examined. Prepared microspheres were characterized by SEM, stereo and confocal microscopes. Some microspheres were loaded with a model chemotherapeutic drug, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), and in-vitro release of 5-FU were examined in phosphate buffer solutions (pH 7.4, 0.01 M.) It was shown that for semi-IPN samples release was faster compared to pure CH samples and the total release was achived 30 days for CH:PVP-2:1, CH:PVP-3:1 semi-IPNs and CH microspheres and 27 days for CH:PVP-1:1 semi-IPN microspheres. The antibody conjugated microspheres were targeted to MDA-MB (human causasian breast carcinoma cancer cells and coculture cells in culture medium. For the CH-PVP films, it was obtained that as the amount of PVP increased, hydrophobicity as well as mechanical strength of the system was decreased.
