Copper-Chitosan Nanocomposite Hydrogels against Aflatoxigenic Aspergillus Flavus from Dairy Cattle Feed

The integration of copper nanoparticles as antifungal agents in polymeric matrices to produce copper polymer nanocomposites has shown excellent results in preventing the growth of a wide variety of toxigenic fungi. Copper-chitosan nanocomposite-based chitosan hydrogels (Cu-Chit/NCs hydrogel) were pr...
