Popis: Lignin nanoparticles containing saccharides from fishery wastes were prepared as sustainable biofillers for advanced materials. Organosolv lignin and Kraft lignin were used as polyphenol components in association with chitosan and chitooligosaccharides. The chemophysical and biological activities of lignin/saccharide nanoparticles, such as UV-shielding, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities, were found to be dependent on both molecular weight and deacetylation degree of saccharides, with the best performance being obtained in the presence of low-molecular-weight and highly deacetylated chitooligosaccharides. In addition, chitooligosaccharides showed a synergistic antioxidant effect with lignins, associated with antimicrobial activity against
