Preparation of Chitosan Antibacterial Microspheres Intensified by Hydrodynamic Cavitation
In order to study the effects of swirling cavitation on entrapment efficiency of antibacterial drugs in chi tosan microspheres,the intensified preparation techniques of chitosan antibacterial microspheres by hydrodynamic cavitation were optimized by the single factor experiment and response surface methodology.The effects of outlet pressure of swirling cavitation,cavitation time,chitosan concentration,methylisothiazolinone(MIT) concentration,sodium tripolyphosphate(TPP) concentration on entrapment efficiency of chitosan microspheres were investigated.The results showed that,the optimum technological conditions were as follows:the outlet pressure of swirling cavitation 0.3 MPa,cavitation time 15 min,chitosan concentration 3.0 g/L,MIT concentration 0.6 mmol/L,TPP concentration 2.5 g/L,and the entrapment efficiency could be up to (50.17±1.95)%,which demonstrated that swirling cavitation was suitable for the intensified preparation of chitosan antibacterial microsphere.
