Abstract

The growing consumer demand for foods without chemical preservatives has focused efforts in the discovery of new natural additivies. Chitosan, which is one of these, have been of interest in the past few decades due to their potential broad range of industrial applications. Chitosan is obtained from chitin by a deacetylation process. Chitin is an aminopolysaccharide that comes from the shells of shellfish. Deacetylated chitin, or chitosan, is comprised of chains of D-glucosamine. When ingested, chitosan can be considered a dietary fibre. These biopolymers offer a wide range of unique applications such as enhancing of quality and storability of foodstuffs. The antimicrobial activity of chitosan has an important role in increasing of shelf-life of foods. Various studies showed that chitosan prevents microbial activity, targeting the different groups of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and yeasts This review summarizes the antimicrobial activity and food applications of chitosan.

Özet

Kimyasal koruyucu madde içermeyen gıda maddelerine olan talep yeni doğal katkı maddelerinin araştırılmasını teşvik etmiştir. Bunlardan birisi olan kitosan, çok geniş bir uygulama alanı olması nedeniyle son zamanlarda ilgi odağı haline gelmiştir. Kitosan, kitinden deasetilasyon yoluyla elde edilir. Bir aminopolisakkarit olan kitin ise kabuklu deniz ürünlerinin kabuklarında bulunur. Kitosan sindirim yoluyla alındığında bitkisel diyetetik lifler gibi işlev görebilir. Gıda endüstrisinde ise başta gıda maddelerinin kalitesinin ve raf ömrünün artırılması olmak üzere çeşitli uygulama alanlarına sahiptir. Gıda maddelerinin raf ömrünün uzatılmasında kitosanın antimikrobiyal etkisinin önemli bir rolü vardır. Yapılan çalışmalarda kitosanın çoğu mikroorganizmanın gelişimini inhibe ettiği ortaya konmuştur. Bu makalede kitosanın antimikrobiyal etkisi ve çeşitli gıda uygulamaları özetlenmiştir.
