“…Chitosan nanoparticles can be produced by different methods (ionotropic gelation, microemulsion method, emulsification solvent diffusion method, polyelectrolyte complexes, and reverse micellar method [107]) and are used in a wide array of applications, relying on their excellent physicochemical properties and bioactivity without harming the human organism. These nanoparticles are used in the field of tissue engineering (e.g., design of implants), cancer therapy (e.g., in theranostic applications and drug delivery), enzyme immobilization support, encapsulation of biologically active compounds, and as an antimicrobial agent [107]. Given chitosan's anti-inflammatory activity, chitosan biomedical applications include wound healing and antibacterial and hypocholesterolemic effects.…”

The use of marine-origin polysaccharides has increased in recent research because they are abundant, cheap, biocompatible, and biodegradable. These features motivate their application in nanotechnology as drug delivery systems; in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, or wound dressing; in biosensors; and even water treatment. Given the physicochemical and bioactive properties of fucoidan and chitosan, a wide range of nanostructures has been developed with these polysaccharides per se and in combination. This review provides an outline of these marine polysaccharides, including their sources, chemical structure, biological properties, and nanomedicine applications; their combination as nanoparticles with descriptions of the most commonly used production methods; and their physicochemical and biological properties applied to the design of nanoparticles to deliver several classes of compounds. A final section gives a brief overview of some biomedical applications of fucoidan and chitosan for tissue engineering and wound healing.

“…Chitosan products were proposed as devices for controlling the release of agrochemicals (fertilizers, pesticides). They are used as biocides either alone or blended with other products against plant diseases (control of plant bacteria and fungi), pests and insects, plant growth promotion, seed coating, and postharvest (Divya and Jisha 2018;Grande-Tovar et al 2018;Sharif et al 2018). Chitosan has also inhibitory effect on viruses and viroid of plants.…”

Chitosan is a biopolymer obtained from chitin, one of the most abundant and renewable materials on Earth. Chitin is a primary component of cell walls in fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans, e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps, and insects, the radulae of molluscs, cephalopod beaks, and the scales of fish and lissamphibians. The discovery of chitin in 1811 is attributed to Henri Braconnot while the history of chitosan dates back to 1859 with the work of Charles Rouget. The name of chitosan was, however, introduced in 1894 by Felix Hoppe-Seyler. Chitosan has attracted major scientific and industrial interests from the late 1970s due to its particular macromolecular structure, biocompatibility, biodegradability and other intrinsic functional properties. Chitosan and derivatives have practical applications in the food industry, agriculture, pharmacy, medicine, cosmetology, textile and paper industries, and in chemistry. In recent years, chitosan has also received much attention in dentistry, ophthalmology, biomedicine and bioimaging, hygiene and personal care, veterinary medicine, packaging industry, agrochemistry, aquaculture, functional textiles and cosmetotextiles, catalysis, chromatography, beverage industry, photography, wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering, and biotechnology. Nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals are actually growing markets, and therapeutic and biomedical products should be the next markets in the development of chitosan. Chitosan is also the object of numerous fundamental studies. In this review, we highlight a selection of works on chitosan applications published over the past two decades.

“…Chitosan (CHT) is one of the most useful biomaterials in nanotechnology due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and nontoxicity to humans. In addition, CHT can easily be modified without affecting its innate capabilities as compared to other biopolymers like chitin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, and glucans [14]. Therefore, CHT has been widely used for various applications through modifications of its physicochemical and biophysical properties.…”

In recent years, the use of complex molecules based on the natural biopolymer chitin and/or on its deacetylated derivative chitosan has resulted in great advantages for many users. In particular, industries involved in the production of drugs, cosmetics, biotechnological items, and food have achieved better results using these particular molecules. In plants, chitin- and chitosan-based molecules are largely used as safe and environmental-friendly tools to ameliorate crop productivity and conservation of agronomic commodities. This review summarizes the results of the last two years on the application of chitin- and chitosan-based molecules on plant productivity. The open questions and future perspectives to overcome the present gaps and limitations are also discussed.
