“…The pectin, by itself or by its gelling properties, was employed in pharmaceutical industry, health promotion and treatment. It has been used potentially as a carrier for drug delivery to the gastrointestinal tract, such as matrix tablets, gel beads, film-coated dose form [20] . The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of addition of clay-Na þ natural montmorillonite on the mechanical, water vapor and oxygen permeability properties of pectin and HPMC films prepared by casting method.…”

“…Is one of the main components of the plant cell wall, contributing to tissue rigidity and integrity and is considered one of the most complex macromolecules in nature (Bayarri et al, 2014;Benito-Peña et al, 2016;De'Nobili et al, 2015;Tripathi et al, 2010). The most important sources for pectin extraction are apple pomace and citrus peels (Videcoq et al, 2011).…”

In the current article, several applications of materials in food packaging and food safety are reviewed, including: polymers as high barrier packaging materials, natural substances as potent antimicrobial agents, and the efficiency of antimicrobial films in food industry. The first condition of all this materials in order to be utilised in food industry is to fall into the list of generally accepted as food grade. Active antimicrobial food packaging systems are supposed not only to passively protect food products against environmental factors, but also to inhibit or retard microbial growth on the food surface, extending the shelf life of products. Edible films can be incorporated into conventional food packaging systems with a dual purpose as an edible and antimicrobial component. Several benefits resulting from the application of the antimicrobial films, embedded with various natural antimicrobials, on different food products as fruits, vegetables and meat products lead to various benefits as maintaining the products freshness for longer time, extend product shelf life and reduce the risk of pathogen growth. Thus, food graded antimicrobial packaging films are promising food packaging materials because its biodegradability provides sustainable development for modern community by reducing the use of drugs as chemical antibiotics, reducing economic losses and overall increases the trust of the final consumer in food products.

Chitosan plays a most important role in the regenerative medication for wound healing. The adhesive nature of chitosan, with their antifungal and bactericidal character, and their permeability to oxygen, is a very important property associated with the treatment of wounds. Different derivatives and combination of chitosan have been reported for this purpose in the form of hydrogels, fibers, membranes, scaffolds and sponges. The purpose of the chapter is to have a closer look in the work done directly by different researchers on the chitosan formulation with potential medicinal applications to provide a better understanding of its usability in regenerative medicine.
