This work aims to extract chitosan from mushroom waste and investigate its potential applications and safety in bio-performance.
Chitosan was extracted through chemical processes including demineralization with 2M HCl and deproteinization with 2M NaOH.
FT-IR and XRD analyses characterized the chemical structure and crystallinity of chitosan.
Chitosan was applied as a coating on Ti6Al4V alloy using electrophoretic deposition.
Chitosan stimulated WBC proliferation by 107% at 20 μg/mL, indicating its biological activity.
Genotoxicity tests show non-genotoxic effects with BI% of 62.63 and MI% of 1.54 at 5 μg/mL.
Coating thickness was 22.7 μm with an adhesion force of -0.8144 nN, supporting its potential in bio-applications.
