Bio-evaluation of crustacean and fungal nano-chitosan for applying as food ingredient
Chitosan, bio-polyaminosacharide, is derived from chitin. Two sources (shrimp wastes and fungus biomass) were used to produce chitosan. And then the chitosan was produced in the nano-form followed by characterization by transmission electron microscopy. The images obtained clearly showed that the si...

description | Chitosan, bio-polyaminosacharide, is derived from chitin. Two sources (shrimp wastes and fungus biomass) were used to produce chitosan. And then the chitosan was produced in the nano-form followed by characterization by transmission electron microscopy. The images obtained clearly showed that the size of nano-chitosan ranged between 7 and 13 and 3–6 nm with spherical shape for shrimp and fungal sources, respectively. The antimicrobial activities of the tested concentrations of chitosan and nano-chitosan were examined and found to have high activity against the tested pathogens. The evaluation of the toxicity of the tested concentrations of the produced chitosan and its nano-size were performed using brine shrimp and rat bioassay. Toxicity examination of chitosan and their nano derivatives is an essential procedure to assess the possibility of using these concentrations as food ingredient. Nine groups of rats were treated with either chitosan or nano-chitosan of both sources at 100 and 200 mg kg(−1) bw. Adding chitosan in the diet of all groups showed no significant changes in both the blood biochemical and oxidative stress parameters when compared with control group. The histopathology of liver, kidney and stomach confirmed the results of the previous parameters. No signs of inflammation, fibrosis or cirrhosis were found in examined organs. It is concluded that chitosan and nano-chitosan of shrimp and Rhizopus stolonifer had high antimicrobial activity and are not toxic in the same time and it can be used as food ingredients. |
