- A future perspective in crop protection chitosan and its oligosaccharides (2014, background): “These properties make it suitable for numerous applications in different fields, for instance, medicine (pharmacology, cosmetics), biotechnology, agriculture, the food industry (nutritional enhancement and food processing), the environment (waste and water treatment) and the textile industry [99,100”
- Chitosan-Based Coating with Antimicrobial Agents: Preparation, Property, Mechanism, and Application Effectiveness on Fruits and Vegetables (2016, background): “The quality and functional properties of chitosan are determined by many factors including the degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, the sources, and extraction pathway [49].”
- Does the Use of Chitosan Contribute to Oxalate Kidney Stone Formation? (2014, background): “The chitosan reaches several organs and tends to accumulate in the kidneys 8 h after oral administration [10,11], specifically in the proximal tubule cells [12].”
- Evaluation of different factors affecting antimicrobial properties of chitosan. (2016, background): “The amino contents are the main reason for the difference between chitin and chitosan structures and their physicochemical properties which are correlated with their chelation, flocculation and biological functions [93,94].”
- A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection (2011, background): “Numerous studies on the antimicrobial activity of chitosan and its derivatives against most economic plant pathogens have been investigated [26, 70, 71, 76–78, 145, 220–227] and reviewed [6, 8, 10, 100, 218, 228–231].”
- Fungal endophytes: an untapped source of biocatalysts (2012, background): “While chitin and chitosans have been shown to enhance the anti-inflammatory response, CHOS have been documented to exhibit antimicrobial, hypo-cholesterolemic, immuno-stimulating, and anti-tumor/-cancer activities (Aam et al. 2010; Xia et al. 2011).”
- Potential of insects as food and feed in assuring food security. (2013, background): “Chitin (the main component of the arthropod exoskeleton), chitosan (produced by deacetylation of chitin), and chitooligosaccharides (degraded products of chitosan or chitin) have attracted considerable interest because of their biological activity, which includes immunity-enhancing effects (82, 99, ”
