Construction and properties of an amyloid fiber ferulic acid chitosan double network hydrogel and its inhibition of AGEs activity

Chitosan-based hydrogels: From preparation to applications, a review

“…The electrostatic action created by the polysaccharide resulted in a decrease in the degree of swelling and an increase in the viscoelasticity of the hydrogels under acidic conditions, which is comparable with the results obtained with the addition of lap. Wang Y et al ( Wang et al, 2023 , Wang et al, 2023 , Yang et al, 2023 , Zheng et al, 2023 ) utilized chitosan with a deacetylation degree exceeding 90 % as the primary material. By introducing catechol groups onto the surface of mussel adhesion proteins through the electrostatic interaction method, they successfully harnessed the amino group on the chitosan chain to facilitate a joint reaction through electrostatic interactions with the sulfonic acid group of the thermo-sensitive monomer, n -isopropyl acrylamide.…”

Degree of Hydrolysis Regulated by Enzyme Mediation of Wheat Gluten Fibrillation: Structural Characterization and Analysis of the Mechanism of Action

“…Few studies have also been reported using gluten protein amyloid protofibrils, which may hold great promise for the future. Similarly, lysozyme AFs can form a double-networked hydrogel with ferulic acid and chitosan to achieve AGE inhibition [39]. Hydrogels with antimicrobial activity can be formed by combining EGCG and lysozyme AFs [40].…”
