“…However, in their study, the chitosan concentration was significantly lower than in our study. Phospholipids are known to act as plasticizers [ 53 ]; therefore, they could increase the mobility within the hydrogel network, leading to a decreased viscosity. Yet, this was not observed in our study.…”

Chitosomes-In-Chitosan Hydrogel for Acute Skin Injuries: Prevention and Infection Control

Burns and other skin injuries are growing concerns as well as challenges in an era of antimicrobial resistance. Novel treatment options to improve the prevention and eradication of infectious skin biofilm-producing pathogens, while enhancing wound healing, are urgently needed for the timely treatment of infection-prone injuries. Treatment of acute skin injuries requires tailoring of formulation to assure both proper skin retention and the appropriate release of incorporated antimicrobials. The challenge remains to formulate antimicrobials with low water solubility, which often requires carriers as the primary vehicle, followed by a secondary skin-friendly vehicle. We focused on widely used chlorhexidine formulated in the chitosan-infused nanocarriers, chitosomes, incorporated into chitosan hydrogel for improved treatment of skin injuries. To prove our hypothesis, lipid nanocarriers and chitosan-comprising nanocarriers (≈250 nm) with membrane-active antimicrobial chlorhexidine were optimized and incorporated into chitosan hydrogel. The biological and antibacterial effects of both vesicles and a vesicles-in-hydrogel system were evaluated. The chitosomes-in-chitosan hydrogel formulation demonstrated promising physical properties and were proven safe. Additionally, the chitosan-based systems, both chitosomes and chitosan hydrogel, showed an improved antimicrobial effect against S. aureus and S. epidermidis compared to the formulations without chitosan. The novel formulation could serve as a foundation for infection prevention and bacterial eradication in acute wounds.

“…Further research on cricket oils as food should be undertaken to investigate their sensorial attributes, oxidation stability, and the presence of antioxidant compounds to determine their shelf life, in this way the full value of these oils as a food ingredient could be assess. The phospholipid fractions of our cricket oils are rich in PC, PE, and PI, which are the main components of lecithin (Szuhaj, 2003). Lecithin is a surfactant used in food as an antioxidant, flavor protector and emulsifier in a wide range of food products and it is typically extracted from crude soybean oil (Szuhaj, 2003).…”

Lecithin is a surfactant used in food as an antioxidant, flavor protector and emulsifier in a wide range of food products and it is typically extracted from crude soybean oil (Szuhaj, 2003). However, there is a search for alternative sources due to consumer reluctance to soy lecithin because of low traceability, use of GMO soybeans and increased allergic reactions to soybean.…”

“…The sn -1 position chiefly carries a saturated fatty acid such as stearic acid or palmitic acid, whereas the sn -2 position carries an unsaturated fatty acid such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ( 49 ). Lecithin from different sources differs substantially on structural and functional roles depending on its origin, either plant or animal origin, and the extraction process ( 27 , 50 ). An example of chemical structure and model of soybean lecithin is presented in Figure 1 .…”

Soybean lecithin is extensively used as the dietary supplementation of phospholipids in animal production. Soybean lecithin plays significant roles in aquafeed as growth promoter, feed enhancer, immunity modulator and antioxidant activity stimulator for aquaculture species. Besides, soybean lecithin is also reported to help aquaculture species being resilient to physical and chemical stressors. In this review, common sources, chemical structure and mode of action of lecithin, with highlight on soybean lecithin application in aquaculture over four-decadal studies published between 1983 and 2023, were evaluated and summarized. By far, soybean lecithin is best-known for its beneficial effects, availability yet cost-effective for aquafeed formulation. Findings from this review also demonstrate that although nutritional profile of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk and marine sources are superior to those from plant sources such as soybean, it is rather costly for sustainable application in aquafeed formulation. Moreover, commercially available products that incorporate soybean lecithin with other feed additives are promising to boost aquaculture production. Overall, effects of soybean lecithin supplementation are well-recognized on larval and juvenile of aquaculture species which having limited ability to biosynthesis phospholipids de novo, and correspondingly attribute to phospholipid, a primary component of soybean lecithin, that is essential for rapid growth during early stages development. In addition, soybean lecithin supplementation plays a distinguish role in stimulating maturation of gonadal development in the adults, especially for crustaceans.
