Chitosan as one of the natural biopolymers with antimicrobial activities could be a good choice to be applied in many areas including pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, chemicals, agricultural crops, etc. There have been many studies in the literature which show this superb polymer is dependent on many factors to display its antimicrobial properties including the environmental conditions such as pH, type of microorganism, and neighbouring components; and its structural conditions such as molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, derivative form, its concentration, and original source. In this review, after a brief explanation of antimicrobial activity of chitosan and its importance, we will discuss the factors affecting the antimicrobial properties of this biopolymer based on recent studies.
壳聚糖作为具有抗菌活性的天然生物聚合物之一,在包括制药、食品、化妆品、化工、农作物等众多领域的应用中是一个不错的选择。文献中有许多研究表明,这种优质聚合物展现其抗菌特性取决于许多因素,包括环境条件,如pH值、微生物类型和相邻成分;以及其结构条件,如分子量、脱乙酰度、衍生物形式、浓度和原始来源。在本综述中,在简要解释壳聚糖的抗菌活性及其重要性之后,我们将根据最近的研究讨论影响这种生物聚合物抗菌性能的因素。
