Exploring the recent advancement of MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) in agriculture and food technology

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel crystalline porous material which are applied in various fields of agriculture and food packaging due to their dynamic properties. Properties of MOFs can be managed by changing their shape, size, and structure according to their field of application. Synth...

description Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel crystalline porous material which are applied in various fields of agriculture and food packaging due to their dynamic properties. Properties of MOFs can be managed by changing their shape, size, and structure according to their field of application. Synthesis method also plays a significant role in tailoring a new MOF as it affects the crystalline structure, size, and morphological assembly of MOFs. In agriculture and food technology, the large surface area of MOFs helps in the storage of gas, catalysis, and drug delivery. Moreover, they help to solve the longstanding challenges faced by food industry in food safety, quality preservation, and sustainable farming practices. This review discusses the different synthesis methods and properties of MOFs which applied in modern agriculture and food technologies. Further discuss the mechanism of action of MOFs in the photocatalytic degradation of different environmental pollutants.
