Emerging Nano/Microporous Architectures for Food Hazards: New Strategies for Precise Inspection and New Principles for Controllable Regulation

The big progress of materials science along with chemical engineering and biotechnology has significantly promoted interdisciplinary development, achieving advanced analytical methodologies, improved inspection performance, as well as promising regulation principles for food safety. The very recent progress on nano/microporous architectures for agri-food science, including new strategies for precise inspection and new principles for controllable regulation of food hazards, are summarized and discussed. Major attention is paid to the newly emerged porous architectures with their derivative nano/microstructures contributing to food safety through their instinctive advantages including special material surface, extraordinary porous structure, ease-of-modification, and excellent diversity and variability. This review clearly and logically displays the research road maps and development trends for current food safety issues and give suggestive directions for future outlook as well as the bottleneck problems to be solved, not only smart inspection and analysis but also elimination and control of ever-emerging food hazards.
