Preparation and characterization of genipin cross-linked porous chitosan–collagen–gelatin scaffolds using chitosan–CO2 solution
PublicationNovel porous scaffolds composed of chitosan, collagen and gelatin were prepared by the multistep procedure involving final freeze-drying and characterized. To eliminate the need for residual acid removal from the material after drying, carbon dioxide saturation process was used for chitosan blend formulation. The use of CO2 for chitosan dissolution made the scaffold preparation process more reproducible and economically sustainable....

Influence of transglutaminase or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) on the properties of fish-skin gelatin films
PublicationBadano wpływ sieciowania żelatyny przy użyciu transglutaminazy (TG) lub EDC na rozpuszczalność oraz mechaniczne i barierowe właściwości wytworzonych folii. Rozpuszczalność sieciowanych enzymatycznie folii w buforach o pH 3 i 6 obniżyła się ze 100% do 30%, a folii modyfikowanych TG w obecności ditiotreitolu lub cysteiny, odpowiednio, do 5 i 15%. Rozpuszczalność folii modyfikowanych EDC wynosiła 10%. Sieciowanie enzymatyczne nie...

Cold plasma treatment of tannic acid as a green technology for the fabrication of advanced cross-linkers for bioactive collagen/gelatin hydrogels
PublicationTannic acid (TA) is a natural compound studied as the cross-linker for biopolymers due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. There are different methods to improve its reactivity and effectiveness to be used as a modifier for biopolymeric materials. This work employed plasma to modify tannic acid TA, which was then used as a cross-linker for fabricating collagen/gelatin scaffolds. Plasma treatment did not cause any significant...

Fish gelatin-nanoclay films. Part I: Effect of a kind of nanoclays and glycerol concentration on mechanical and water barrier properties of nanocomposites
PublicationThe aim of work was the improvement of the mechanical and water barrier properties of nanocomposites prepared from fish gelatin and nanoclays (5–15%), plasticized with glycerol at different concentrations. The effect of hydrophilic Cloisite Na1 and Nanomer®PGV was compared with that exerted by organically modified more hydrophobic Nanofil®2 and NanoBent ZR-1. Antimicrobial activity of nanocomposites containing hydrophobic nanoclays...

The influence of hydrophobic substances on water vapor permeability of fish gelatin films modified with transglutaminase or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)
PublicationFolie z niemodyfikowanej, a także usieciowanej enzymatycznie (transglutaminazą) lub chemicznie (EDC) żelatyny rybnej wykazują nadmierną przepuszczalność pary wodnej. Polepszenie właściwości barierowych w stosunku do wody uzyskano poprzez wprowadzenie w struktury folii substancji hydrofobowych. Dodatek oleju z amarantusa lub wosku pszczelego spowodował zmniejszenie WVP folii o ok. 20-90% w zależności od stężenia tych substancji...

The effect of transglutaminase or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl amino propyl) carbodimide (EDC) on the properties of two-component films fromfish-skin gelatin and other natural polymers
PublicationBadania dotyczą wpływu transglutaminazy na rozpuszczalność, właściwości mechaniczne oraz przepuszczalność pary wodnej dwuskładnikowych folii z żelatyny rybnej z dodatkiem kazeiny, białek soi, białek jaja kurzego lub pektyn. Dla porównania przeprowadzono równolegle modyfikacje chemiczne przy użyciu EDC.

Przydatność białka rybiego w postaci kolagenu lub żelatyny oraz polisacharydu - kapa-karagenu do wytwarzania aktywnych opakowań biodegradowalnych = Usefulness of fish collagen, gelatin and carrageenan for preparation of active biodegradable packages
PublicationSummary - The possibility of use of protein films made of fish collagen or gelatin as well as polysaccharide carrageenan films as carriers of enzymes (lysozyme or lysostaphyne), for preparation of microbiologically active packages, was investigated. It was found that crosslinking of such systems with N-[3(dimethylamino)propyl]-N'-ethylcarboimide (EDC) does not influence the activity of lysozyme immobilized in the films (Table 1)....

Electrochemical Characterization of Gelatine Derived Ceramics
PublicationNew materials obtained by pyrolysis of gelatine (G) and poly(1,2-dimethylsilazane) (PSN) (weight ratio: G/PSN 70/30) at temperatures 700 and 900 °C were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of ceramics influences on the cluster size of the materials. Electrochemical tests were performed by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cyclic polarization. The capacity of G/PSN was 464 and 527 mAh/g for materials pyrolysed...

Kinetics and mechanism of the chemically modified starches during gelatinization.
PublicationNative starch was silicated by means of microwave-assisted reactions with varying doses of reagents. Resulting products were characterized by DSC and HMR-relaxation methods. It was observed that the hydratation of the silicated starches during gelatinization decreases when compared to that of the native potato starch. The amount of unfrozen water for ungelitinizated silicated starches are less than in control samples. At the same...

Polyester-urethanes modified with gelatine for tissue scaffolds
PublicationNovel aliphatic PU foams, modified with gelatine, were obtained in a one-step polymerization process. Hard segments were obtained from 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and chain extenders 1,4-butanediol (BDO) or 2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol (TG), soft segments were obtained from poly(ethylene-buthylene adipate) (EBO) polyol. We examined the PU foams for their sorption capability in canola oil, saline (0.9% NaCl water...

Proposal of New Starch-Blends Composition Quickly Degradable in Marine Environment
PublicationThe aim of this paper was to obtain a quickly degradable in seawater polymer blend as an alternative proposal for classical polymer packaging. For preliminary studies: poly(lactic acid) (PLA), starch, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), gelatin and glycerol were chosen. PLA was pointed out due to its biodegradability and comparable properties to polyethylene or polypropylene. Whereas starch was chosen as abundant, renewable and cheap polymer...
