“…Undeniably, it is beneficial to get the same effect with less amount of food additives or a food additive playing a dual role of two food additives, such as acetic acid, which is used as both flavoring agent and as preservative in food system. Chitosan (CS) [poly ˇ-(1 → 4)-linked 2-amido-2-deoxy-Dglucopyranose and ˇ-(1 → 4)-linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose] is a unique cationic marine polysaccharide obtained by partial deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant nature polymer, under alkaline condition [3][4][5]. Due to its non-toxicity, biodegradability [6], biocompatibility [7,8], antimicrobial activity [9], and versatile chemical and physical properties, chitosan attracts considerable interest and has prospective applications in a variety of fields, such as medical applications, biotechnology, textiles, wastewater treatment, cosmetics, agriculture, and food science [10][11][12].…”
