Emulsification-based interfacial synthesis of citral-loaded hollow MIL-88A for the inhibition of potato tuber sprouting.
Economic value of the global potato harvest is impacted by sprouting during storage. We examined how sprouting might be reduced or eliminated using citral, a naturally occurring component in citrus fruit peel. The current study integrated both loading and sustained release of citral using emulsification-based interfacial synthesis of hollow MIL-88A. The structural properties and compositions of MIL-88A and hollow MIL-88A were confirmed using SEM, EDS, and XRD. BET analysis showed a surface area of 30.36 m
