Overcoming interaction of chitosan fiber with sodium chloride and proteins in food products
FY 2019-20 · 2019-05-27
Summary
Chinova Bioworks’ chitosan fiber from mushrooms is an antimicrobial shelf-life extending food and beverage ingredient. High amounts of sodium chloride and high amounts of protein have been shown to interact with chitosan fiber and reduce it’s effectiveness as an antimicrobial. This project will investigate methods to decrease the interaction of chitosan with sodium chloride and protein and maintain its antimicrobial effectiveness.

Description (French)
La fibre de chitosane de champignons de Chinova Bioworks est un ingrédient antimicrobien, qui prolonge la durée de conservation des aliments et des boissons. Il a été démontré que des quantités élevées de chlorure de sodium et des quantités élevées de protéines interagissent avec la fibre de chitosane et réduisent son efficacité en tant qu'antimicrobien. Ce projet étudiera des méthodes pour réduire l'interaction du chitosane avec le chlorure de sodium et les protéines et maintenir son efficacité antimicrobienne.
