With the increasing global attention to food safety, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have become potential materials in the food industry due to their high specific surface area (typically>1000m2/g). Their value in encapsulating natural actives is recognized, but how synthesis/structure affects food system performance remains unclear, limiting application. This study hypothesizes solvothermal, diffusion and ionothermal synthesized MOFs can encapsulate actives to extend shelf life, enhance nutrition and antibacterial properties. According to existing research, we analyzed the application of MOF-based food systems and evaluated its preservation, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. We have come to some conclusions: solvothermal MOFs exhibit the highest encapsulation efficiency (curcumin 92 %, 14–21 days release in aqueous matrices); Customized MOFs enable efficient encapsulation release, extending food shelf life by 30 %–50 %. The research results are within the scope of inclusion in the Journal of Food Chemistry.

Ensuring food quality while minimizing spoilage requires development of functional food packaging that combines extended shelf life with visual freshness monitoring. Here, a Zn–soy protein isolate artificial nanoenzyme (ZnSP ANM) was fabricated via metal ion–mediated self-assembly, exhibiting multienzyme antioxidant activity and good biosafety. Compared with chitosan film (CS), incorporation of purple carrot anthocyanin (PCA) and ZnSP ANM (ZnSP0.6-PCA-C) increased water contact angle to 109.36°, increased tensile strength by 0.23 times and reduced water vapor permeability by 0.28 times. ZnSP0.6-PCA-C displayed favorable biodegradability and the ability to modulate soil microbial communities. ZnSP ANM and PCA synergistically enhanced antimicrobial performance of films, extending the shelf life of blueberries while enabling colorimetric indication of beef freshness (blue to yellow) and prolonging beef shelf life by 2 days at both 25 °C and 4 °C. This study highlights the catalytic and preservative potential of ZnSP ANM, advancing the development of functional packaging.

This study compared six extraction techniques, hot water, acid-assised, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, UV/H₂O₂-assisted, and enzyme-assisted on the structural, antioxidant, and emulsifying properties of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DOPs). Molecular weights ranged from 1155.239 kDa (DOPs-hwe) to 3.139 kDa (DOPs-ee). DOPs-hwe showed the highest uronic acid content (4.52 %) and excellent emulsifying ability (89.2 % activity, 81.5 % stability). In contrast, DOPs-ae and DOPs-ee exhibited stronger antioxidant activity, with DPPH scavenging rates of 52.36 % and 58.05 % (15 mg/mL), linked to lower molecular weights and higher carboxyl group contents (0.58–0.66 mmol/g). FTIR and Congo red analyses confirmed differences in triple-helix conformations. SEM imaging revealed morphological diversity, from dense (DOPs-hwe) to porous (DOPs-ee). Monosaccharide composition varied across extraction methods. Emulsifying performance was mainly influenced by hydrophobic and steric interactions. These findings provide a useful reference for selecting suitable extraction approaches to tailor DOP functionality for specific applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.
