Abstract
ABSTRACTIn recent years, the use of nature‐inspired superhydrophobic coatings in various industries and daily life has attracted a lot of attention due to the unparalleled features of these coatings. Also, many efforts are made to produce coatings that are based on natural, degradable and nontoxic materials. The purpose of this review article is to collect and introduce the latest environmentally friendly methods of manufacturing food‐related superhydrophobic coatings. Coating fruits to postpone their spoilage, producing packages that eliminate residual food after consumption and creating antimicrobial substrates in industries like dairy are some of the applications of these coatings in the food industry.
