Influence of the deacetylation degree on chitosan emulsification properties

The emulsification of sunflower oil by chitosan solutions with deacetylation degrees (DD) between 73 and 95% was studied using different techniques. The droplet size distributions, conductivity, ageing behavior and viscosity of emulsions were studied as functions of the chitosan DD. All DD gave stable polydisperse water-in-oil-in-water emulsions with different viscosities. Two optimum DD values were found, 81 and 88%, giving complete emulsification without residual oil or sedimentation. Chitosans with intermediate DD were less effective emulsifiers. Chitosans with higher DD gave poor emulsification. Received: 11 January 1999 Accepted in revised form: 31 May 1999

Chitosan structure in aqueous solution

Chitosans having three different degrees of acetylation (DA) were studied in acid solution using the uranyl staining technique and electron microscopy. Strings of approximately spherical aggregates were seen. The aggregates were interpreted as micelle-like agglomerates formed by almost fully acetylated polysaccharide, interconnected by blocks of almost fully deacetylated polysaccharide stretched by electrostatic repulsion. These agglomerates include NH₃⁺ groups which produce electrostatic swelling of the agglomerates, giving a radius proportional to the degree of deacetylation. The length of the strings are also proportional to the deacetylation degree. These strings are extended because of the electrostatic repulsion between charged ammonium groups.     

Specificity of an Aspergillus Niger Esterase Deacetylating Cellulose Acetate

A purified acetyl esterase (AE), isolated from a commercial enzyme preparation, released acetic acid from water-soluble and water-insoluble cellulose acetates (CAs), native and chemically acetylated xylan as well as acetylated starch. The AE specifically cleaved off the acetyl substituents from the C₂- and C₃-positions from CAs of DS <1.8 and left the acetyl substituents at the C₆-positions intact without degrading the polysaccharide. The activity of endoglucanase was enhanced by the presence of acetyl esterase, while the acetyl esterase derived no advantage from the presence of the endoglucanase; it was able to function independently.     

Effect of Chitosan and Temperature on Spore Germination of Aspergillus niger

Inhibition of radial growth and spore germination of Aspergillus niger in media with added chitosan were detected. The highest radial growth inhibition (73%) was determined at 24 h with 3 g · L^?1 of chitosan, and the percent inhibition of spore germination was 40% after 13 h of inoculation. Further, the CC₅₀, that is, the concentration at which spore germination is inhibited by 50%, was estimated by probit analysis (3.5 g · L^?1). The activation energies, E_A were estimated by an Arrhenius model in control and amended chitosan media, obtaining 35.6 and 36.6 kcal · mol^?1, respectively. These values were in the same order of magnitude because chitosan as inhibitor was more effective at low temperature (≤ 18 °C). Hence synergism of temperature and chitosan were only observed at 12 and 18 °C. Therefore, the maximal percentage of germinated spores, S_max was also affected by low temperatures in chitosan‐amended media with estimated values lower than 70% at temperatures < 37 °C whereas in control media S_max reached values close to 100%. Scanning electron micrographs showed that chitosan produced spore aggregation and morphological anomalies affecting swelling, germ tube emergence, and polarization.

The Effect of Chitin Alkaline Deacetylation at Different Condition on Particle Properties

The abundant biopolymer chitin, found mainly in crustaceous exoskeleton, such as crab, shrimp and lobster, can be deacetylated to yield chitosan. This slightly different biopolymer is more reactive than chitin, being more effective for many applications in fields as environmental remediation, biomedical sciences, catalysis and so on. The main process for chitin deacetylation used sodium hydroxide solutions at high temperatures for long times to obtain chitosan with high deacetylation degree (DD). The present study has evaluated the effect from room temperature (RT), 363 and 393 K, hydroxide concentration (2.0 or 10.0 mol dm³) and time (3 and 24 h) on shrimp chitin deacetylation. Similar amounts of chitin and sodium hydroxide solutions were stirred jointly and the resultant solids were filtered and washed until pH 7, than dried at environmental conditions. The obtained samples were characterized by several techniques, such as elemental analysis, X-rays diffraction (XRD), laser scattering and absorption spectroscopy at infrared region with Fourier transform (FTIR), which was used for DD calculation. The results showed that all chitin-chitosan samples did not reach DD > 90%, as observed for some good commercial chitosans. The highest DD was obtained by the sample prepared at more drastic conditions, as expected, however the higher sodium hydroxide concentration leads to decrease of molecular mass when associated with high temperatures. The crystallinity was influenced mostly by reaction time, which change the positions and intensities as indicated by XRD main peaks, located at 9.3 and 19.4° 2Θ. Particle sizes were strongly diminished by treatment at 393 K, what imply also some increase at the pressure, favoring chain dissociation reactions. This work mapped several properties for chitin-chitosan samples achieved by the described conditions.

Extraction and Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan from Parapenaeus longirostris from Moroccan Local Sources

The contents of the exoskeleton of Parapenaeus longirostris from Moroccan local sources were analyzed and the percentages of inorganic salt, protein, lipid, and chitin were determined. Chitin in the α form was extracted from Parapenaeus longirostris shells by 0.25 M HCl and 1 M NaOH treatment for demineralization and deproteinization, respectively. The obtained chitin was converted into the more useful soluble chitosan. The chemical structure and physico-chemical properties of chitin and chitosan were characterized using Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The molecular weight (MW) of chitosan was determined by viscometric methods. The degree of acetylation (DA) of chitin and chitosan was determined by the ¹H NMR technique. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on the extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from Parapenaeus longirostris.

Determination of Selected Metals in Niger Delta Oils by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopic (GFAAS) analysis of oil samples from the onshore and offshore fields in the Niger Delta was carried out in order to determine their trace element contents. The concentrations of the elements (Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and V) determined ranged from 0.151–941.199 ppb with an average of 30.190 ppb (% RSD<5) for the oil samples analyzed. The pattern of occurrence of each element was in agreement with studies conducted employing neutron activation analysis and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. From the cluster analysis of the data, two groups of oils were evident. The groups are correlated with each other, indicating common or similar genetic origin. Trace metal parameters indicate that the oils were generated from organic matter of strong terrestrial input. GFAAS proved to be a good method for the analysis of elemental composition and classification of Niger Delta oils.     

Antifungal activity of Bignoniaceae plants on Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus niger

Abstract

Twenty four extracts from Bignoniaceae plants of northwest Argentina were tested for antifungal activity against Aspergillus species responsible of the grape black rot. Stems and leaves of Amphilophium cynanchoides, Macfadyena cynanchoides, Tecoma stans and Jacaranda mimosifolia were separately extracted with solvents of increasing polarity to obtain the dichloromethane (fCH₂Cl₂), ethyl acetate (fEtOAc) and methanol extracts (fMeOH). The fCH₂Cl₂ from stem of M. cynanchoides had the lowest IC₅₀ (1.0–1.2?mg/mL) and MID values (0.6–1.2?mg) and the highest ID values (5.0–6.8?mm) on A. niger and A. carbonarius. The main contributors of the antifungal activity of fCH₂Cl₂ were identified as lapachol (MIC?=?0.25–1.00?mg/ml) and 1-hydroxy-4-methylanthraquinone (MIC?=?0.0625–0.125?mg/mL). These compounds synergized the antifungal activity of sodium metabisulfite and showed an additive effect in mixtures with propiconazol. They might be used as additives of commercial antifungals to protect grapes against A. niger and A. carbonarius.
