Chitosan/starch nanocomposites loaded with ampicillin were prepared using the spray-drying method by mixing various ratios of chitosan and starch. The morphology of chitosan/starch nanoparticles was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the zeta potential value and size distribution were determined by a Nanoparticle Analyzer. The results show that the chitosan/starch nanocomposites have a spherical shape, smooth surface, and stable structure.

Ampicillin (Amp), an antibiotic, is widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans and livestock, but recently the rate of resistance has increased rapidly. The aim of this work was to enhancing the antibacterial effect of this compound against AMR Staphylococcus aureus via loading Amp into chitosan/starch nanocomposites by spray drying technique. The results showed that the different ratio of chitosan gel and starch gel used in preparing the nanocomposites can affect its properties and performance.

The Central Highlands region is considered as the center with the highest biodiversity in Vietnam because it has the majority of national parks such as Yok Don, Chu Yang Sin, Bidoup-Nui Ba, Ta Dung, Chu Mon Ray, and Kon Ka Kinh and nature reserves such as Ngoc Linh, Kon Chu Rang, Ea So, Nam Ka, and Nam Nung with different ecosystems [1]. Of the national parks and nature reserves, Yok Don has the most different ecosystem. Yok Don is the second biggest national park, and it is the only national park that conserves dry deciduous dipterocarp forests in Vietnam [2].
