Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) from the fish skin of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus), Salmon (Salmo salar) and Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) was extracted characterized. The ASC extraction yield 75%, 73% 68%, respectively. denaturation melting temperatures (29.3°C 100.0°C) were significantly higher than (20.6°C 90.5°C; 15.2°C 86.7°C, respectively), assessed by differential scanning calorimetry. SDS-PAGE profile showed that each tested type I consisted two different α chains, α1 α2, as well a β...
This study introduces a method for producing printable, thermosensitive bioink formulated from agarose (AG) and carbon dioxide-saturated chitosan (CS) hydrogels. The research identified medium molecular weight as optimal production, with preferred hydrogel content of 40–60 %. Rheological analysis reveals the bioink's pseudoplastic behavior sol-gel phase transition between 27.0 31.5 °C. MMW chitosan-based showed also most stable extrusion characteristic. choice production was based on...
The last decades have witnessed a major advancement and development in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology.

This paper presents a comparison of the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity against L929 cells chitosan xerogels prepared by dissolving polymer in solution lactic acid (LA) or carbonic (CO2) then freeze-drying. There was no simple relationship between samples obtained using both techniques (LA CO2). Chitosan materials LA method 1:1 dilution were characterized highest (∼20%). For same diluted CO2 saturation method, viability approximately 2.5 times greater. Some tested innovative...
Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare different rape varieties. For this purpose oil from six varieties rapeseeds cold pressed under laboratory conditions. In obtained rapeseed oils fatty acids composition and minor components, characteristic values (acid value; AV TOTOX), oxidative stability (DSC test), volatiles were determined a sensory evaluation carried out. highest found for sample 5 (IP = 158 min), which also has lowest amount C18:3 (7.8%), chlorophylls (0.083 mg/kg),...
To provide antibacterial properties, the titanium samples were subjected to electrochemical oxidation in fluoride-containing diethylene glycol-based electrolyte create a oxide nanotubular surface. Afterward, surface was covered by sputtering with silver 5 nm film, and tops of nanotubes capped using laser treatment, resulting an appearance nanoparticles (AgNPs) around 30 diameter on such modified ensure controlled release bactericidal substance, additionally coated pH-sensitive...
Objective: The aim of our study was to examine the antimicrobial potential eight selected, commercially available wound dressings containing different agents: silver, chlorhexidine acetate, povidone-iodine, and manuka honey. Method: materials were tested against four reference strains bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (PCM 2051), epidermidis 2118), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Escherichia coli (K12), using disc diffusion-like method a time-killing assay. Results: For both experiments,...
Zinc compounds in polyolefin films regulate the transmission of UV-VIS radiation, affect mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity. According to hypothesis, use zinc- containing masterbatches polyethylene (PE) with different chemical nature-hydrophilic zinc oxide (ZO) hydrophobic stearate (ZS)-can cause a synergistic effect, especially due their properties. PE obtained on an industrial scale were evaluated for activity against E. coli S. aureus strains. The morphology samples (SEM),...
A new method of obtaining functional foam material has been proposed. The materials were created by mixing the poly lactic acid (PLA) solution in chloroform, chitosan (CS) dissolved water saturated with CO2 and polyethylene glycol (PEG), freeze-dried for removal solvents. composite foams characterized their structural (SEM, FT-IR, density, porosity), thermal (DSC), (hardness, elasticity, swelling capacity, solubility), biological (antimicrobial cytotoxic) properties. Chitosan composites was...
