Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are relatively recent materials. They have received great attention due to their interesting properties. However, the application of microwaves in their synthesis, despite its advantages such as faster and more reproducible processes, is a minority. Herein, a comprehensive compilation of the research results published in the microwave‐assisted synthesis (MAS) of COFs is presented. This review includes articles of 2D and 3D COFs prepared using microwaves as source of energy. The articles have been classified depending on the functional groups including boronate ester, imines, enamines, azines, and triazines, among others. It compiles the main parameters of synthesis and characteristics of the materials together with some general issues related with COFs and microwaves. Additionally, current and future perspectives of the topic have been discussed.

The preservative effect of glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT) in a 4% glucose aqueous solution were evaluated on shrimp (Heterocarpus reedi) stored at 0-2°C. On-board and immediately after catch, shrimp were washed with tap water at lO"C, and dipped or kept in the enzyme solution. Microbial (total psychrotrophs and Pseudomonas spp. counts), chemical (total volatile bases, ammonia and pH) and sensory tests (whole-raw and cooked-peeled samples) showed that holding shrimp in the GOX/CAT/glucose solution retarded microbial spoilage and preserved quality more effectively than dipping shrimp in the same solution. The importance of treating shrimp as early as possible was demonstrated by comparing shrimp treated 4 and 82 hr after catch.
