TL;DR: This review will focus first on the present understanding of the structures of amylose and amylopectin and their organization within the granule, and then on the biosynthetic mechanisms explaining the biogenesis of starch in plants.
1,839 citations
TL;DR: An in vitro system that attracts by its simplicity, where above a critical concentration the colloidal dispersion separates spontaneously into a chiral nematic liquid crystalline phase and solidifies into regularly twisted fibrillar layers that mimic the structural organization of helicoids in nature.
1,040 citations
TL;DR: The main chemical modifications of chitosan that have been proposed in the literature are reviewed and a wide range of derivatives with a broad range of applications are presented.
705 citations
TL;DR: This review discusses the various forms of chitosan materials such as beads, films, microspheres, nanoparticles, nanofibers, hydrogels, nanocomposites, etc. as drug delivery device and attempted to report the vast literature available on chitOSan based materials in drug delivery applications.
702 citations
TL;DR: Chitosan based nanomaterials have superior physical and chemical properties such as high surface area, porosity, tensile strength, conductivity, photo-luminescent as well as increased mechanical properties as comparison to pure chitOSan.
