Characteristics and Antibacterial Properties of Film Membrane of Chitosan-Resveratrol for Wound Dressing

Abstract

The research aimed to evaluate the film membrane of Nano Chitosan Resveratrol (NCHR) for biological, physicochemical, and antibacterial properties. Psychochemically, the functional groups of chitosan compounds were examined by FTIR, chemical compounds by GCMS, and the morphology of chitosan and chemical elements by SEM-EDS. Biologically, the characteristics of NCHR were examined by solubility, swelling, permeability, and biodegradation tests. Meanwhile, the antibacterial properties were examined for inhibition of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) ATCC 33277 by Minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and growth assessment by spectrophotometry. Nano Chitosan (NCH) has appeared at 1033.85 cm-1 as a sharp peak indicating the P=O group and contains anti-toxicity compounds (Ethane, 1,1-diethoxy- (CAS) 1,1-Diethoxye) is 81.06% and antioxidant compounds Limonene is (1.28%). In addition, NCH has chemical elements, Oxygen Weight (69.4%), calcium (19.7%), magnesium (6.6%), and phosphorus (4.3%). NaCl 0.9%, PBS, and Aquades. In addition, it has an excellent index of water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) in all solvents (R2³ 0.95). The NCHR membrane film is bacteriostatic (≤ 300 CFU/mL) with each value of Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) >15 mm. The Nano chitosan contains antitoxic, antioxidant, and antibacterial compounds with high oxygen elements. The film membrane of nano chitosan resveratrol can maintain the stability of changes in pH with a very high solubility index, swelling index, and WVTR index, as well as good biodegradation and antibacterial properties.

Performances of Amphiphilic Glucomannan Produced by Combination Methods of Ultrasonication, Deacetylation, and Carboxymethylation Heterogeneously

“…Swelling determination represents the ability of glucomannan molecules to expand in aqueous solution. Other than the structural properties, swelling degree of material is also influenced by its charged ions and solvent type (38). Figure 2 shows that ultrasonication improve the swelling of glucomannan.…”

Down-streaming Small-Scale Green Ammonia to Nitrogen-Phosphorus Fertilizer Tablets for Rural Communities

“…Since leaf chlorophyll levels are related to plant conditions, they can be used to assess how much fertilizer plants require [40]. Nitrogen aids in the development of proteins and chlorophyll, both of which are necessary for photosynthesis [41,42], which directly influences plant output and yield. Chlorophyll measurement is one method for determining the level of plant development and fertility and can be used to forecast plant production [43].…”

Variation in organic matter characteristics and mitigation of ultrafiltration membrane fouling by chlorine and UV/chlorine pre-oxidation in secondary effluent treatment

“…Various methods are applied to avoid or mitigate membrane fouling, such as backwashing, chemical cleaning, pretreatment of feed water, and membrane material modification [9,10]. The pretreatment processes extensively used prior to the UF process include coagulation, adsorption, and oxidation [11,12].…”
