Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan as Antimicrobial Agent: Applications and Mode of Action
TL;DR: The current review of 129 references describes the biological activity of several chitosan derivatives and the modes of action that have been postulated in the literature.
Effects of food processing on pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of response ratios is presented as a possible method of combining and quantifying effects of food processing on pesticide residue levels, which indicated both reduction and increases for the 95% and 99.5% confidence intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of food processing on pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables: a meta-analysis approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of response ratios was presented as a possible method of combining and quantifying effects of food processing on pesticide residue levels, which indicated that residue levels were indicated by blanching, boiling, canning, frying, juicing, peeling and washing of fruits and vegetables with an average response ratio ranging from 1 0 to 082.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Novel N,O-acyl chitosan (NOAC) derivatives were synthesized to examine their fungicidal activity against the gray mould fungus Botrytis cinerea and the rice leaf blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae and were more active against the two plant pathogens than chitOSan itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
