Effect of Nanochitosan-Based Coating With and Without Copper Loaded on Physicochemical and Bioactive Components of Fresh Strawberry Fruit (Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne) During Storage (2014, background): “On the other hand, the metalchelating property of chitosan has been used to improve the antimicrobial activity, chitosan–Ag+ complex (Yi et al. 2003; Chen et al. 2005) and chitosan–Zn2+ complex (Wang et al. 2004) are general examples.”
A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection (2011, background): “When the positive charge density of chitosan strengthens, the antibacterial property will increase consequently, as is the case with quaternized chitosans [70, 109, 369, 370] and chitosan metal complexes [145, 148, 371].”
Antimicrobial properties of chitosan and mode of action: a state of the art review. (2010, background): “When the positive charge density of chitosan strengthens, the antibacterial property will increase consequently, as is the case with quaternized chitosan (Ignatova et al., 2006; Jia et al., 2001; Xie et al., 2007) and chitosan metal complex (Chen et al., 2005a,b; Wang et al., 2004).”
