Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta) (2015, background): “[58] showed that the antimicrobial activity of the chitosan from shrimp (Solenocera melantho) shells was stronger against bacteria than fungi.”
Polysaccharides as Edible Films and Coatings: Characteristics and Influence on Fruit and Vegetable Quality—A Review (2021, background): “Its antibacterial activity is mediated by electrostatic forces between the protonated amino group (NH2) in chitosan and negative residues on the cell surface [137], while the greater number of protonated amino groups (NH2) present in chitosan is associated with an increase in deacetylation degrees (”
