Packaging is an integral part of food industry that preserves the properties of food during storage. Food spoilage caused by foodborne microorganisms is a public health problem that imposes a significant burden on the healthcare systems. Moreover, packaging based on artificial and chemical materials such as plastic is destructive to the environment. Chitosan can be categorized as an active food packaging material because of its inherent antimicrobial properties and capacity to carry various active components. Combining chitosan and metallic nanoparticles can be used as a practical approach in antimicrobial packaging systems. This strategy has advantages of thermal stability, barrier properties, antioxidant and antimicrobial packaging. Titanium dioxide is one of these nanoparticles that plays a photocatalytic role by releasing reactive oxygen species, thereby leading to the destruction of microorganisms' cell wall and extension of food shelf life. This review elaborates on the antimicrobial applications of chitosan/titanium dioxide nanoparticles films in food packaging systems.

The present study involved the preparation of a nano-polymer based on shrimp wastes as a biodegradable chitosan nanoparticle (Cs) incorporated into titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO) in an aqueous medium and carried on the specific polymer to form thin films. The spectroscopic properties of chitosan/TiO/Polymer thin films were estimated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The fabricated films were then examined for their potential to eliminate iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) from solutions.

Nitrate pollution of water emerging from various anthropogenic activities has become a major environmental concern because of its deleterious effects on natural water resources. The present work deals with the synthesis of the ternary nanocomposite based on chitosan, iron oxide (FeO), and titanium dioxide (TiO) and its application for the removal of nitrates from model-contaminated water. FeO derived through a coprecipitation method was incorporated into the chitosan matrix which was fabricated in the form of beads.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of alginate-chitosan/titanium oxide/geraniol (Alg-Csn/TiO@GRL nanosphere) nanospheres hydrogels on the healing process of the wounds infected with Acinetobacter baumannii and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. The nanospheres were successfully synthesized and their physicochemical properties such as DLS, FTIR, FE-SEM, TEM, XRD and also their safety and in-vitro antibacterial activity were assessed and confirmed. Following induction of the infected wounds, the mice were treated with s base ointment (Control), mupirocin® as standard control group and also hydrogels prepared from Alg-Csn@GRL, Alg-Csn/TiO and Alg-Csn/TiO@GRL.

This research aimed to investigate the feasibility of using a bionanocomposite made of chitosan, CNC, and TiO2 nanoparticles to package freshly sliced apples. At the outset, the effect of varying concentrations of CNC (1, 5, and 10 %) and TiO (1, 3, and 5 %) on the mechanical, thermal, and water sensitivity characteristics of the chitosan bionanocomposite was studied. Among different combinations, the bionanocomposite containing 10 % CNC and 3 % TiO displayed significant enhancements compared to neat chitosan film.
