ABSTRACT - QMFS2019Collagen from fish is attracting a lot of attention thanks to its high absorbance ability, biocompatibility as well as non-religious obstruction and cheap sources. It could be applied in many fields, for example: food, cosmetic, or biomedicine. Using of collagen also helps to reduce the environment pollution from fish scale waste in fish processing. In this study, collagen extracted from Vietnamese fresh-water tilapia fish scales was used in combination with carrageenan for the improvement of drug release control. The influence of fish scale collagen content on morphology, thermal behavior and drug release from carrageenan/collagen/allopurinol composite film was evaluated by methods such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). From the DSC data, FESEM analysis and drug release of carrageenan/collagen/allopurinol composite films, the most suitable collagen in composite film is 5 wt.%.

Comparative scanning electron microscopy studies of fish scales of different orders, families, genera and species within genera have demonstrated differences which warrant elaboration. These differences in detail appear to be sufficient to act as “fingerprints”, at least, for family differences. To date, the lateral line scales have been primarily studied. These demonstrate differences in the lateral line canals; the pattern of ridging with or without secondary protuberances along the edges; the pattern of spines or their absence on the anterior border of the scales; the presence or absence of single or multiple holes on the ventral and dorsal sides of the lateral line canal covers. The distances between the ridges in the pattern appear likewise to be important.A statement of fish scale structure and a comparison of family and species differences will be presented.The authors wish to thank Dr. Donald Marzalek and Mr. Wallace Charm of the Marine and Atmospheric Laboratory of the University of Miami and Dr. Sheldon Moll and Dr. Richard Turnage of AMR for their exhaustive help in these preliminary studies.

Scanning electron microscopy of fish scales has facilitated the application of micro-structures to systematics. Electron microscopy studies have added more information on the structure of the scale and the associated cells, many problems still remain unsolved, because of our incomplete knowledge of the process of calcification. One of the main purposes of these studies has been to study the histology, histochemistry, and ultrastructure of both calcified and decalcified scales, and associated cells, and to obtain more information on the mechanism of calcification in the scales. The study of a calcified scale with the electron microscope is complicated by the difficulty in sectioning this material because of the close association of very hard tissue with very soft tissues. Sections often shatter and blemishes are difficult to avoid. Therefore the aim of this study is firstly to develop techniques for the preparation of cross sections of fish scales for scanning electron microscopy and secondly the application of these techniques for the determination of the structures and calcification of fish scales.

The laponite-poly (L-lactide) composite films are prepared by the method of solution blending with polylactide (PLA) and laponite. The result shows that the homogeneous and smooth composite film is prepared with 1, 4-dioxane. Thermogravimetry analysis (TG) and tensile strength studies demonstrate that the thermal stability and tensile strength are improved with the laponite added. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurement indicates that the pores of composite films get uniform and network structure is more and more compact with compared to pure PLA film. The present study reveals that the laponite as a complexing agent can improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of PLA.

In this work, alginate (AG)/chitosan (CS)/lovastatine (LS) AG/CS/PCL/LS composite films using polycaprolactone (PCL)  are prepared by solution method with the ratio of AG/CS and LS content fixed at 4/1 and 10 wt.% (in comparison with the total weight of CS and AG), respectively.  The PCL content is used at 3, 5 and 10 wt.% (in compared with total weight of AG, CS and LS). The role of PCL as a compatibilizer in AG)/CS)/LS composites is considered by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) methods. Based on the change in FTIR spectra, morphology and thermal parameters of AG/CS/PCL/LS composites, it can be seen that PCL has effectiveness of compatibility for AG, CS, and LS as well as plasticity for the composites. Besides, the influence of PCL content on the swelling degree of the composites is also investigated.

The adsorption of freshwater fish scales were used to remove Hg2+in industrial wastewater. The effects of pH, shaking time, initial concentration on the adsorption Hg2+onto freshwater fish scale were investigated. In these conditions, by varying the pH of the mercury (II) solutions from 2 to 8, the removal efficiency remained higher than 96%. Optimal adsorption capacity was 117.2 mg g-1at pH 6.0. Characterization of the biosorbent fish scales was performed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The mechanism for the adsorption was studied. The adsorption of Hg2+on to freshwater fish scale could be described by Langmuir isotherm model.

Biopolymers, in particular polysaccharides, have attracted considerable interest in the field of drug delivery due to their biodegradable and biocompatible nature. This study is focused on the preparation and characterization of drug delivery devices based on sodium alginate (SA) composite films with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS). The prepared composite films were characterized for the determination of physiochemical properties, molecular interactions, and drug release behavior. The possible intermolecular hydrogen bonding between SA and PSS was determined by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Surface characterization was done using AFM. Polymeric films consisted of pristine SA and PSS exhibited relatively uniform and flat surfaces. However, the composite films showed phase separation that became more prominent as the concentration of PSS in the composite films was increased up to 40% (w/w). The contact angle (CA) values, using deionized water as a function of time (s), were ranging from 74° to 90°, and a decrease in CA (64° to 76°) was recorded for each composite film till 40 s. These CA values revealed that all the composite films were hydrophobic. It was observed that as the concentration of PSS in the films increased, hydrophobicity slightly varied as compared to the blank films of SA and PSS. Maximum CA (89°) was shown by a composite film having SA/PSS (90/10). Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate (CPX), a model drug, loaded in a suitable composite film (cross-linked with 0.3 M CaCl2 solution) and drug release was evaluated in pH 1.2 simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and pH 7.4 phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution. In SGF, around 90% of the model drug was released in 110 min that was approximately 77% in the case of PBS. Therefore, it was concluded that a sustained drug release behavior was exhibited in SGF as compared to PBS solution. These results suggest that these films are a promising and may potentially be subjected to study further their drug delivery behavior in applications like wound dressing. [Formula: see text]

<p><strong>Bioplastics are environmentally friendly plastics derived from natural materials. Bioplastics are easier to decompose when compared to commercial plastics. Bioplastics are generally made from starch contained in plants. But the use of starch as a base material has the disadvantage of producing bioplastics that are not waterproof. Therefore, it is necessary to add chitosan to improve bioplastic characteristics. Chitosan usually comes from the shell of crustacean animals, but it turns out that in fish scales waste, also contains chitosan. Fish scales are a by-product of the process of fish processing. Fish scales are only discarded and not utilized so that they become waste that can pollute the environment. Fish scales have a chitin content that can process into chitosan, which can be useful as an additional ingredient in the manufacture of bioplastics. This review aims to find out the potential of fish scales waste as chitosan in the manufacture of bioplastics. Based on the results of previous research, fish scales have a chitosan content that can use as an additional ingredient in the manufacture of bioplastics. Fish scale chitosan can form bioplastic film with characteristic brownish-yellow film. The addition of fish scale chitosan is also able to improve the water resistance of bioplastic film. Based on the results of the review can be concluded bring fish scales to have the potential as chitosan that can use in the manufacture of bioplastic.</strong></p><p><strong>Keywords –</strong> <em>Bioplastic, Chitosan, Fish Scales.</em></p><p> </p>

Composite films containing different amounts of potassium sorbate (KS) were prepared by using fish scale collagen (Col) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), light transmittance, mechanical, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and the antibacterial properties of the composite films were analyzed. The results showed that the addition of Col significantly reduced the light transmittance of the composite film, but KS had no significant effect on the light transmission. The tensile strength decreased first and then increased with the addition of KS, while the WVTR increased first and then decreased. The composite film exhibited a certain degree of antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus. In addition, we found that ultrasonic treatment reduced the WVTR, and also improved tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite films, but had no significant effect on other properties. The KS/Col/PVA films have the potential to be used as antimicrobial food packaging.
