Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and its modification with fatty acid (FA) in addition to the nanoencapsulation with essential oils (EOs) have emerged as promising approaches with diverse applications, particularly in food and fruit preservation. This review aims to curate data on the prospects of CS modified with FA as nanostructures, serving as carriers for EOs and its application in the preservation of fruits. A narrative review with no restricted period was used for the general overview of CS and strategies for its modification with FA. Report on CS modified with FA and nanoencapsulation with EO and their applications were appraised. The prospects of CS modified with FA and EO nanoencapsulation in food and fruit preservation were outlined. Most chitosan-fatty acid (CS-FA) studies have found relevance in water, medical and pharmaceutical industries, with few studies on food preservation. CS-FA formulation with EOs shows substantial potential in preserving fruits and will significantly impact the food industry in the future by extending the shelf life of fruits and reducing food waste.
壳聚糖(CS)及其与脂肪酸(FA)的改性以及与精油(EO)的纳米封装已成为具有多种应用前景的方法,尤其是在食品和水果保鲜方面。本综述旨在整理有关用脂肪酸修饰的 CS 作为纳米结构、作为 EO 的载体及其在水果保鲜中的应用前景的数据。本综述采用无时间限制的叙述性综述方式,对 CS 及其与 FA 的改性策略进行了概述。评估了有关用 FA 和环氧乙烷进行纳米封装改性的 CS 及其应用的报告。概述了用 FA 和环氧乙烷纳米胶囊化改性的 CS 在食品和水果保鲜中的应用前景。大多数壳聚糖-脂肪酸(CS-FA)研究都与水、医疗和制药行业有关,而关于食品保鲜的研究却很少。含有环氧乙烷的 CS-FA 配方在水果保鲜方面显示出巨大的潜力,未来将通过延长水果保质期和减少食物浪费对食品工业产生重大影响。
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
