Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to synthesize magnetic chitosan microspheres (MCM) for the deproteinization of crude polysaccharides from Ostrea rivularis Gould (ORP), and evaluate their adsorption properties. Firstly, MCM were synthesized by microemulsion process. Then they were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM). At last, MCM was applied as a magnetic separable adsorbent for deproteinization of ORP. The results showed that MCM had smooth surface with particle diameter of 2-6 μm. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were well fitted by the pseudo-second order equation and the Freundlich equation, respectively. Comparing with the Sevag method, MCM exhibited higher deproteinization ratio, higher polysaccharides recovery, and miner pollution. In addition, the deprotenaization capacity can be regenerated. Therefore, MCM would be used as promising adsorbents for the deproteinization of polysaccharides.

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.

Magnetic chitosan nanoparticles represent a promising platform in targeted drug delivery by merging the biocompatibility and mucoadhesiveness of chitosan with the superparamagnetic iron-oxide cores magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or maghemite (γ-Fe₂O₃). This synergy enables enhanced therapeutic precision through external magnetic guidance, controlled release, and stimuli-responsive behavior. MCNPs are particularly valuable in oncology, allowing site-specific drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, and real-time imaging via MRI.

Increase in breast cancer has led to the search for systems that can enable, targeted, sustained and prolonged release of drugs while simultaneously reducing the side effects posed by them. In light of this, folic acid-conjugated 5-Fluorouracil and doxorubicin loaded chitosan/Fe₃O₄ (FA-dual@CS/Fe₃O₄) nanocomposite has been synthesized using the chemical method for targeted breast cancer therapy in addition to CS/FeO and dual drug encapsulated CS/FeO. FTIR and XPS studies confirm the successful drug encapsulation and FA conjugation.

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a flame retardant widely added to polymer products. Successful isolation of target analytes from complex natural matrices relies on extraction materials that can selectively interact with the analytes. In this context, the use of magnetic nanostructured adsorbents, such as magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer systems (MMIPs), can play a key role in both selective matrix-analyte interactions and separation processes.
