Tetracyclines (TCs) are widely employed for the prevention and treatment of diseases in animals besides being deployed to promote animal growth and weight gain. Such practices result in trace amounts of TCs occurrence in water and foodstuffs of animal origin, including eggs and milk, thus posing severe health risks to humans. To ensure the food and water safety and to avoid exposure to humans, the removal of TC residues from food and water has recently garnered a considerable attention. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), endowed with unique structural and surface properties with high affinity toward TCs, are recognized as excellent absorbents for removal of TCs from food and water samples. Herein, the utilization of MOFs in the adsorption of TC from food and water samples is deliberated including the underlying mechanisms and various factors that affect the adsorption and degradation of TCs. The strategy may be extendible to other pollutants as well.
四环素（TCs）除了用于促进动物生长和体重增加外，还广泛用于预防和治疗动物疾病。这些做法导致动物源性水和食品（包括鸡蛋和牛奶）中出现微量的四环素，从而对人类健康构成严重风险。为确保食品和水安全并避免人类接触，从食品和水中去除四环素残留最近受到了广泛关注。金属有机框架（MOFs）具有独特的结构和表面性质，对四环素具有高亲和力，被认为是从食品和水样中去除四环素的优良吸附剂。本文讨论了金属有机框架在食品和水样中吸附四环素的应用，包括其潜在机制以及影响四环素吸附和降解的各种因素。该策略也可能适用于其他污染物。
