High-performance carrageenan/carboxymethyl cellulose films using quercetin-functionalized polyphenol-based metal-organic frameworks for fruit packaging.
A multifunctional active packaging film was developed by incorporating quercetin-functionalized gallic acid‑zinc metal-organic frameworks (QC@GZ-MOF) into a carrageenan/carboxymethyl cellulose (CG/CMC) binary matrix. The polyphenolic structure of quercetin, particularly its catechol moiety, acted as an effective crossl...
