The development of novel materials with microstructures is now a trend in food science and technology. These microscale materials may be applied across all steps in food manufacturing, from raw materials to the final food products, as well as in the packaging, transport, and storage processes. Microfluidics is an advanced technology for controlling fluids in a microscale channel (1~100 μm), which integrates engineering, physics, chemistry, nanotechnology, etc. This technology allows unit operations to occur in devices that are closer in size to the expected structural elements. Therefore, microfluidics is considered a promising technology to develop micro/nanostructures for delivery purposes to improve the quality and safety of foods. This review concentrates on the recent developments of microfluidic systems and their novel applications in food science and technology, including microfibers/films via microfluidic spinning technology for food packaging, droplet microfluidics for food micro-/nanoemulsifications and encapsulations, etc.

“…[32] Despite the significant progress made in membrane separation technology, challenges remain in terms of low flux, poor stability and difficulty in large-scale preparation. [33] In particular, addressing the trade-off between membrane selectivity and flux and developing new membrane structures are difficult yet essential steps towards the fabrication of efficient and selective separation membranes. [34] Living organisms in nature have evolved to achieve intelligent manipulation of life activity processes, and ion channels on cell membranes in living organisms (Figure 2b) play a crucial role in selectively regulating ion movement in and out of cells, thereby influencing biological processes.…”

Membrane‐based separation technologies are becoming increasingly prominent in many important industrial separation applications. In the past decade, nanoporous materials, as promising filler components for high‐performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), have seen a boom given the merits of remarkable chemical and structural variability. However, it remains challenging to address the trade‐off effect of MMMs between molecular/ionic selectivity and permeability. Biological ion channels that penetrate through cell membranes have provided new insights for the construction of novel structures of MMMs. In recent years, MMMs with cell membrane‐like structures have gained much attention and achieved significant progress in the field of separation. In this minireview, recent advances in the design and construction of MMMs with penetrating subnanochannels are summarized. After that, the applications of these MMMs with penetrating subnanochannels in gas separation and ion sieving are highlighted and discussed in detail. Finally, the future developments and challenges for the MMMs with penetrating subnanochannels are prospected.
