What is Nanochitosan Derived from Marine Algae about?

Marine algae are currently being exploited for eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles. This is considering their low toxicity and enhanced ability to produce nanoparticles with potent biologically active potentials and application in food industry like preserve food against microbial damage, prolong storage life, production of biodegradable films, and food packaging. Bioactive compounds including terpenoids, steroids, cyclic polysulphides, phlorotannins are potent bactericidal agents present in marine algae. Several derivatives (including nanochitosan) have found greater application and utilization in several food industries, especially, for conservation owing to the antioxidant and antimicrobial ability, improved gelling activity, and carrier affinity for bioactive compounds. Thus, this chapter will focus on the application of nanochitosan derived from marine algae as antimicrobial agent in food industry and meat-based food or fish-based food conservation.
