The objective of present study was to evaluate the effects of the application of chitosan and chitosan/whey protein on the chemical, microbial and organoleptic properties of Göbek Kashar cheese during ripening time (on 3^rd, 30^th, 60^th and 90^th d). Difference in microbiological and chemical changes between samples was found to be significant (p<0.05) during ripening period. Cheese samples with edible coating had statistically lower mould counts compared to the uncoated samples. Furthermore the highest and lowest mould counts were determined in control (4.20 Log CFU/g) and other samples (<1 Log CFU/g) at 60^th and 90^th d of storage. All samples exhibited higher levels of water soluble nitrogen and ripening index at the end of storage process. At the end of 90 day storage period, no signicant dierences in salt and fat values were observed among the cheeses studied. The edible coatings had a beneficial effect on the sensory quality of cheese samples. In the result of sensory analysis, while cheese C and the chitosan coated cheese samples were more preferred by the panellists, the chitosan/whey protein film-coated cheese samples received the lowest scores. This study shows coating suggests could be used to improve the quality of cheese during ripening time.

In this study, a chitosan based coating method was developed and applied on the shoe lining leather surface for evaluating its inhibition to bacterial and fungal attacks. At first, chitosan was prepared from raw prawn shells and then the prepared chitosan solution was applied onto the leather surface. Secondly, the characterization of the prepared chitosan and chitosan treated leather was performed by solubility test, ATR-FTIR, XRD pattern, SEM and TGA. Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan was assessed against two gram positive, two gram negative bacteria and a reputed fungi by agar diffusion test. The results of this study demonstrated that chitosan took place in both the surface of collagen fibres and inside the collagen matrix of crust leather. The chitosan showed strong antimicrobial activities against all the tested microorganisms and the inhibition increased with increasing percentage of chitosan. Therefore, the prepared chitosan in this study can be an environment friendly biocide, which functions simultaneously against different spoilage bacteria and fungi on the finished leather surface. Thus by using the prepared chitosan in shoe lining leather, the possibility of microbial attack during shoe wearing can be minimized which is one of the important hygienic requirements of footwear.

With the object of providing a temporary artificial periodonal ligament-like membrane around the dental implant, 10 Branemark type implants were coated with commercially available chitosan(Fluka Co., Buchs, Switzerland) which has a molecular weight of 70,000 and 80% deacetylation degree. Once this bioactive hydrophillic polymer(chitosan) contacts with blood or wound fluids, it becomes swollen and penetrates into the adjacent cancellous bone. Thus the interface between implant and surrounding bone is completely filled with chitosan. This tight junction in early healing phase enhances primary stability. The chitosan coated dental implants were implanted into the fresh patella bones from porcine knees, since the thickness of cortical bone is relatively even and their cancellous structure is homogenous. To test the shock absorbing effect, 1mm delta-rogette strain gage was installed behind the implant. The results showed 1. The principal strain peak value directed to the impact of coated implant was 0.064 0.018(p<0.05) and that of uncoated implant was 0.095(0.032 p<0.05). 2. The peak time delay of coated implant was 0.056sec(0.011 p<0.05) and that of uncoated implant was 0.024sec(0.009 p<0.05). It can be reasoned from this results that the chitosan coating has a shock absorbing effect comparable with a temporary artificial periodontal ligament.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan coating on the attachment, proliferation, functional and morphological change of periodontal ligament cells. Primary human periodontal ligament cells were cultured in dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics. In experimental group, cells of 4th to 7th passage were inoculated in the multiwell plates coated with chitosan in concentration of 0.22, 0.2, and $2mg/m{\ell}$. Cell counting and MTT assay were done after 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6 and 24 hours of incubation to evaluate the cell attachment, and then after 2 and 7 days of culture to evaluate the cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase activity was measured after 4 and 7 days of culture and the ability to produce mineralized modules was evaluated after 21 days of culture. The results were as follows : 1. The morphology of periodontal ligament cells on the chitosan coating was round or spheric. Round cells were aggregated after 6 hours of culture. Aggregated cells on the chitosan coated surface showed nodule-like appearance after 24 hours of culture and not achieved confluency at 7 days. 2. During early period of culture, the attachment of periodontal ligament cells were inhibited by chitosan coating. Inhibition of cell attachment tended to increase with the concentration of chitosan. 3. At the chitosan concentration of 0.02 and $0.2mg/m{\ell}$, periodontal ligament cells were more rapidly proliferated at 7 days, compared to the control group. At the concentration of $2mg/m{\ell}$, the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells was inhibitied(p<0.01). 4. Alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells was increased in chitosan coated group, especially at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$after 4 days of culture.5. Periodontal ligament cells produced mineralized nodules on chitosan coated wells without the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials (ascorbic acid, ${\beta}-glycerophosphat$, dexamethasone). With the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials, periodontal ligament cells produced more mineralized nodules at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$, compared to the control. In summary, the attachment, proliferation, cell activity, and alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells depended on the concentration of coated chitosan. Chitosan stimulated mineralized nodule formation by periodontal ligament cells. At the appropriate concentration($0.02mg/m{\ell}$), chitosan could increase alkaline phosphatase activity and stimulate the formation of mineralized nodule by periodontal ligament cells. These results suggest that chitosan can be used as an adjunct for bone graft material, and the matrix of tissue engineering for periodontal regeneration, especially bone regeneration.

'Bing' 체리 (P. avium L.)는 짧은 저장성을 가지는 신선 농산물로, 코팅에 의한 저장성 향상 가능성을 알아보았다. 네 종류 ($Semperfresh^{(R)}$, calcium caseinate, chitosan, or TIC $Pretested^{(R)}$ colloid 911)의 식이성 코팅 재료를 1% 농도로 체리에 코팅 처리 한 후 $2^{\circ}C$, 88% 상대습도 조건에서 35일 간 저장하며 코팅 물질에 따른 저장성 및 품질변화를 확인하였다. $Semperfresh^{(R)}$ 코팅은 체리의 전반적인 품질 및 저장성 향상에 기여하였는데, 무게 감소를 줄이고 표면 색변화를 억제하는 것으로 관측되었다. 키토산을 기본으로 하는 코팅은 저장 중 곰팡이 발생을 억제하는데 효과적이었다. 하지만 colloid 911 과 calcium caseinate를 이용한 코팅은 신선 체리의 저장성 향상에 기여하지 못했는데, 이들 친수성 코팅 물질의 경우, 체리의 표피층과 코팅 물질 사이의 상호작용에 의해서 체리의 자연적인 보호층인 큐티클 층이 영향을 받음으로 체리의 무게 감소가 저장 기간 중에 촉진되었던 것으로 사료된다.

To examine the potential utilization of chitosan, the biodegradable natural polymer, as a control agent of apple white rot caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea in a new control measure by coating it on the diseased branches, the various antifungal activities of chitosan was investigated. Chitosan showed significant inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of B. dothidea, along with the morphological changes including hyphal swelling and ultrastructural changes on solid PDA medium. In liquid PD broth medium, the chitosan showed more significant effect on the growth of B. dothidea also forming cell clusters indicating affection on the hyphal extension. The growth of B. dothidea was inhibited more than 90% at the concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. Chitosan also detained the spore germination and induced the morphological change of germ tubes. Glucosamine, monomer of chitosan, did not affect on the growth of B. dothidea indicating the antifungal activity was caused by chitosan polymer.

CSLM 기술을 이용하여 Salmonella enteritidis에 의한 계란 오염 과정을 관찰하여 난막의 3중막 구조, cuticle 층 그리고 5가지 필름 피복의 침투 방어효과를 조사하였다. 난막을 구성하는 fiber의 지름은 각각 outer membrane $1.5{\sim}7.2\;{\mu}m$, inner membrane $0.8{\sim}2.0\;{\mu}m$이었고, limiting membrane을 구성하는 입자의 지름은 $0.1{\sim}1.4\;{\mu}m$이었으며, 두께는 각각 평균 10.0, 3.5, $3.6\;{\mu}m$이었다. 난각과 접해 있는 outer membrane은 다음 층인 inner membrane과 부분적으로 중첩되어있고, limiting membrane의 입자들은 매우 밀집되어 inner membrane과 중첩된 상태로 존재하였다. Cuticle층은 전체 계란 표면적 중 $40{\sim}80%$ 를 덮고 있었으며, 두께는 평균 $6.0\;{\mu}m$이었고 피복 필름들의 평균 두께는 자각 mineral oil $5.0\;{\mu}m$, dextrin $3.6\;{\mu}m$, gelatin $3.9\;{\mu}m$, starch $2.5\;{\mu}m$, chitosan $2.2\;{\mu}m$이었다. 필름 피복에 의한 Salmonella enteritidis 생육 억제효과를 관찰한 결과, chitosan이 가장 효과적이었다. 그리고 trisodium phosphate (TSP), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) 처리, 5종의 필름 피복 처리와 무처리한 계란표면에 Salmonella enteritidis를 접종한 후 내부 전이 과정을 CSLM을 이용하여 다색영상화(multi-color imaging)와 시간당 투과 균수에 대한 plate count로 비교한 결과, 난각이나 3중막 구조의 난막보다는 cuticle 층이 Salmonella균의 오염을 차단하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, chitosan 피복이 cuticle 층과 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 따라서 피복 필름중에서 chitosan이 최외부 방어막인 cuticle층이 결손된 난각 부위를 피복하는데 가장 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

We studied the green synthesis and antibacterial activity of paper coated with chitosan-silver (Ag) green nanocomposites for packaging applications. Green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) was achieved by a chemical reaction involving a mixture of chitosan-silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$) in an autoclave at 15 psi, $121^{\circ}C$, for 30 min. AgNPs and their formation in chitosan was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). As-prepared chitosan-AgNPs composite materials were coated on manila paper using Meyer rod. Surface morphology and Ag contents in coating layer were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation were significantly affected by coating with chitosan-AgNPs. The antibacterial test of coated paper was performed qualitatively and quantitatively against Escherichia coli (E. coli). It was shown to be effective in suppressing the growth of E. coli with increasing Ag contents on the surface of coated paper and more than 95 R (%) of antimicrobial rate was obtained at chitosan-AgNPs coated papers.

Chitosan, a natural cationic macromolecular material, has been known for its moisturizing and healing effect due to the coating action based on strong ionic bonding when the chitosan is treated on hair strands. In this study, the acidic aqueous chitosan solution was prepared to treat healthy hair, and damaged hair due to bleaching, relatively thin hair and thick hair specimens. The chitosan treatment effect was reviewed by comparing spectrophotometric and mechanical characteristics of the chitosan treated and untreated specimens. Electrostatic voltage was somewhat reduced after the chitosan treatment. Smoothly coated surface was observed, in the SEM images, especially for damaged hair specimens. The values of breaking strength, which is one of the indicators of the internal characteristics of hair, was high in the case of chitosan treated samples. The values of elongation was also high in the case of chitosan treated samples, which proves the chitosan treatment effect. The friction force, one of the indicators of surface characteristics, was reduced for the case of chitosan treated samples.
