The adhesion of sticky liquid foods to a contacting surface can cause many technical challenges. The food manufacturing sector is confronted with many critical issues that can be overcome with long-lasting and highly nonwettable coatings. Nanoengineered biomimetic surfaces with distinct wettability and tunable interfaces have elicited increasing interest for their potential use in addressing a broad variety of scientific and technological applications, such as antifogging, anti-icing, antifouling, antiadhesion, and anticorrosion. Although a large number of nature-inspired surfaces have emerged, food-safe nonwetted surfaces are still in their infancy, and numerous structural design aspects remain unexplored. This Review summarizes the latest scientific research regarding the key principles, fabrication methods, and applications of three important categories of nonwettable surfaces: superhydrophobic, liquid-infused slippery, and re-entrant structured surfaces. The Review is particularly focused on new insights into the antiwetting mechanisms of these nanopatterned structures and discovering efficient platform methodologies to guide their rational design when in contact with food materials. A detailed description of the current opportunities, challenges, and future scaleup possibilities of these nanoengineered surfaces in the food industry is also provided.

“…However, the lack of laboratory infrastructure, precision equipment, and skilled personnel can restrict the utilization of these biosensing technologies, especially in resource-constrained developing countries. , Visual signal conversion modes are considered some of the most effective approaches to overcome these challenges, minimize diagnostic costs, and improve access to quality healthcare services in regions with limited resources. , It can convert information about electron migration, energy conversion, and mass exchange at interfaces into detectable visual signals. In recent years, visual biosensing mechanisms based on specific liquid-based interface behaviors have been gaining attention due to the advantages of liquid-based interfaces, including preserving the functionality of biomolecules, providing high molecular mobility, and allowing for a more comprehensive study of biochemical reactions under dynamic conditions . As the core of this sensing mechanism, liquids offer response sites for various molecular recognitions and respond to target molecular stimuli by altering their physicochemical properties to produce specific liquid-based interfacial behaviors.…”

Liquid-based interface behaviors at micro/nano or even smaller scales induced by biomolecules take us into a fascinating realm, fostering a deeper understanding and innovation in visual biosensing. This biosensing technology, grounded in specific liquid-based interface behaviors, redefines how diseases can be detected, monitored, and diagnosed in resource-limited settings, providing rapid, cost-effective, and self-testing solutions to the current healthcare landscape. To date, the technology has witnessed significant advancements in visual sensing, driven by diverse liquid-based materials, advanced nanomanufacturing techniques, and a profound understanding of interface−material interactions. In this Perspective, we discuss and elucidate the interface biosensing mechanisms arising from three types, including liquid−solid, liquid−liquid, and liquid−gas interfaces, and we provide insights into the challenges and future development of visual biosensing applications.
