Abstract
The global food system faces a significant challenge in food waste. Minimizing this
waste is essential for promoting a sustainable food chain and ensuring healthy
agricultural practices. Traditional methods like drying, pasteurization, and
fermentation help preserve food, but often alter its taste and texture. Active food
packaging offers a promising solution. This technology incorporates functional
components directly into packaging materials. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs),
a class of highly porous materials, have emerged as particularly effective active
agents. MOFs are built from metal ions and organic molecules, which come together
in a specific way to create these cages. This allows MOFs to have different pore sizes
and functionalities, making them useful for a variety of applications. This mini
review explores the potential of MOFs in extending food shelf life and enhancing
safety. Active food packaging reinforced MOFs and their applications as
antimicrobials, moisture absorbers, and scavengers are discussed.
