Hemin was immobilized on chitosan flakes using the conventional ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide system to produce hemin-bound chitosan (HC) flakes. The HC flakes demonstrated oxidation ability in the presence of HO, similar to hemin, but with improved photostability and reusability caused by immobilization on chitosan flakes. While the HC flakes did not adsorb cationic dyes such as Methylene blue and Rhodamine B, they effectively adsorbed anionic dyes such as eosin Y and Congo red, while hemin did not adsorb either of these two dyes. The HC flakes exhibited good decolorization ability of anionic dyes in a system using HO, proving to be a simple -and economical agent for removing anionic dyes by adsorption and oxidation.

Objective: Regenerative periodontal surgical approaches require scaffolds in a form that can fill narrow and irregular defects. Each scaffold must be specially designed to conform to the shape of the specific defect. The aim of this study was to fabricate nanohydroxyapatite chitosan-gelatin (nHA/KG) pastes with different composition percentages and to analyze the differences in physical, chemical, and biological characteristics in response to periodontal tissue regeneration .

The removal of boron from wastewater is essential for protecting environmental health and supporting sustainable urbanization by preventing toxic accumulation in ecosystems. Existing adsorption technologies face challenges such as limited capacity, slow kinetics, high regeneration costs, and reduced efficiency due to adsorbent saturation. This study develops an eco-friendly adsorbent (CGCNF beads) by modifying chitosan nanofibers with d-(+)-glucono-1,5-lactone (GL) to enhance boron removal.

Chitin's robust structure poses significant challenges for degradation, necessitating the study of microbial processes in chitin-rich environments. We assessed the chitinolytic bacterium Chitiniphilus shinanonensis DSM 23277 (SAY3) for converting chitin biomass into valuable saccharides using various substrates (chitin flakes, α-chitin, and β-chitin) in shake flask cultures. The bacterium successfully grew on all substrates, achieving complete degradation, although chitin flakes required more time.

Slurry ice preparation experiences considerable supercooling, which can be mitigated by nano-nucleating agents. A nano-nucleating agent (CH/PE-TP NPs) was prepared by ultrasonication-assistant self-assembly of chitosan (CH) and pectin (PE), encapsulated with tea polyphenols (TP). Ultrasonication for 10 min downsized self-assembled aggregates from 5.
