Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a highly usable system in various sectors because of their highly ordered structure and high porosity providing them with high storage capacity. But their use is sometimes forbidden in the food industry due to the presence of some organic compounds which have undesirable effects. Cyclodextrins which are considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by FDA comes as a very good alternative to previously used compounds for the development of the MOF’s to be used in food packaging industry especially in the packaging sector. These cyclodextrin MOF does possess edible, biocompatible as well as biodegradable characteristics and due to these reasons they have gained attentions from researchers in the food industry. In this review we focus on the recent advancements in the field of CD MOF’s. We have emphasized on the synthesis of these MOF’s through different techniques, formations of their inclusion complex with bioactive compounds and their characterization. Finally, we discussed on the use of CD MOF as a carrier for various highly volatile bioactive compounds and their ability to increase the solubility and stability of these bioactive compounds.
