I’d be curious to see if similar principles could be applied to non food preservation. Nature’s solutions often scale better than synthetic ones, especially when stability over long timeframes is needed.

Honey's hydrogen peroxide production and hygroscopic properties have already inspired antimicrobial coatings for medical devices and water-resistant biomaterials for tissue engineering.
Imagine a honey-inspired environment for stabilizing sensitive compounds or preserving biological samples without refrigeration
That's what honey-preserved foods are: biological samples without refrigeration.
