Exploring the potential of fullerenes in food and agriculture

This article investigates the prospects of using fullerenes and their compounds in the food and agricultural sectors. The study considers the biological activity of fullerenes in relation to microorganisms and biological objects, and highlights their potential in creating materials with specific microbiological properties and radioprotective capabilities relevant to food preservation and agricultural applications. The potential of hydrated fullerene solutions to enhance biological activity in nutrient media, promoting plant growth and crop quality, is also explored. Furthermore, the research examines the features of plasma synthesis of fullerenes essential for reinforcing polymer composite materials used in food packaging and agricultural equipment. A functional scheme of an automated control system for fullerene synthesis is presented, which ensures high parameter stability, real-time monitoring, and control of technological parameters, leading to maximized production of homogeneous nanostructured carbon material.
