The antibacterial activity of selected fatty acids and essential oils was examined against two
gram-negative (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Serratia liquefaciens), and four gram-…

A study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of using antimicrobial films, designed to
slowly release bacterial inhibitors, to improve the preservation of vacuum-packaged …

When adding β-glycerophosphate (β-GP), a weak base, to chitosan aqueous solutions, the
polymer remains in solution at neutral pH and room temperature, while homogeneous …

Antimicrobial films were prepared by dissolving chitosan into hydrochloric, formic, acetic,
lactic and citric acid solutions. Below 40C, the counter ions could be classified into two groups …

The dynamic rheological properties of chitosan solutions have been investigated in terms of
ionic strength and chitosan concentration for entangled systems. The overlap concentration …

Rheological properties of concentrated chitosan aqueous solutions and gels in the presence
of different organic and inorganic acids were investigated. Viscosities of the solutions …

In this study, linear viscoelastic properties of a chitosan system were investigated in the sol
and gel states in terms of glycerophosphate (GP) (C GP ) and polymer (C C ) concentrations. …

Background Liver volumetry is a critical component of safe hepatic surgery, in order to minimize
the risk of postoperative liver failure. Liver volumes can be calculated routinely using the …

In this study, we have investigated the effect of urea on the physicochemical (pH and
conductivity) and rheological properties of the chitosan-β-GP system in order to assess the main …

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) were isolated and purified from Lactobacillusrhamnosus strains
RW-9595M, which has been shown to possess cytokine-stimulating activity, and R grown …
