“Waste Fruit Peels and Plant Parts: Innovative Green Approach for Bioactives and Nanoparticle Synthesis”

The escalating demand for eco-friendly and sustainable nanotechnology has led to the exploration of innovative green approaches for nanoparticle synthesis. Among these, the utilization of waste fruit peels as bio-reductants and stabilizers has emerged as a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally benign strategy. Fruit peels, often discarded as waste, and are rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and organic acids, which facilitate the reduction and stabilization of metal nanoparticles. This green synthesis method not... see more
