Here we demonstrate the possibility of using acyclic diethylacetal of acetaldehyde (ADA) with low cytotoxicity for the fabrication of hydrogels via Schiff bases formation between chitosan and acetaldehyde generated in situ from acetals in chitosan acetate solution. This approach is more convenient than a direct reaction between chitosan and acetaldehyde due to the better commercial availability and higher boiling point of the acetals. Rheological data confirmed the formation of intermolecular bonds in chitosan solution after the addition of acetaldehyde diethyl acetal at an equimolar NH: acetal ratio. The chemical structure of the reaction products was determined using elemental analysis and C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The formed chitosan-acetylimine underwent further irreversible redox transformations yielding a mechanically stable hydrogel insoluble in a broad pH range. The reported reaction is an example of when an inappropriate selection of acid type for chitosan dissolution prevents hydrogel formation.

Hydrocolloids synthesized by gallic acid (GA) and ferulic acid (FA) grafting onto chitosan (CS) were characterized, and their effects on PhIP formation in pan-fried golden pompano were investigated. Spectrograms including nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible confirmed that GA and FA were successfully grafted onto CS via covalent bonds, with grafting degree of 97.06 ± 2.

Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is a preferable measure to preserve kidneys from donation after cardiac death (DCD), while the current standard perfusate is imperfect. We synthesized amphiphilic chitosan, N-alkylated-O-(2-hydroxyl) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (N-alkyl-O-HTCC) as additive in the perfusate, which can self-assembly into micelles in water (size 133 ± 8.48 nm) (ζ-potential 43.

The reaction pathways were investigated by which a fungoid chitosan (CsG) may protect against photooxidative decay of model solutions and a sulphite-free white wine. Samples containing CsG were dark incubated for 2 days before exposure to fluorescent lighting for up to 21 days in the presence of wine like (+)-catechin and/or iron doses. In both systems CsG at winemaking doses significantly reduced the photoproduction of acetaldehyde and, to a better extent, glyoxylic acid, two key reactive aldehydes implicated in wine oxidative spoilage.

This study investigates the influence of the antimicrobial agent chitosan on a selected strain during the alcoholic fermentation of ultra-pasteurized grape juice with a high concentration of malic acid. It also studies a selected strain as a control. The study examines several parameters relating to wine quality, including volatile and non-volatile compounds.
