Chitosan Polymer as Bioactive Coating and Film against Aspergillus niger Contamination
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The inhibitory activity of chitosan‐based edible coatings and films was assessed against the Aspergillus niger food pathogen and deterioration microorganism. Spore‐counting assays showed an almost total inhibition of A. niger growth when either film‐forming solution or film were used at a low concentration of chitosan (0.1% w/v). Epifluorescence microscopic results showed the action of chitosan on the relative proportion of RNA compared with DNA. The water vapor permeability (WVP) of chitosan film was relatively low compared with the poor moisture barrier of some polysaccharide films. Moreover, a coating with chitosan film on an agar gel, used as a food model, induced a 30% reduction in water loss. These results showed potential applications of chitosan‐based films as bioactive packaging with properties to limit the food dehydration phenomenon.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
