“Waste Fruit Peels and Plant Parts: Innovative Green Approach for Bioactives and Nanoparticle Synthesis”
Submission Abstract:
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 only minimizes the use of hazardous chemicals but also contributes to waste valorization and circular economy initiatives.
This special issue delves into the potential of fruit peel-mediated nanoparticle synthesis, highlighting their physicochemical properties, biomedical applications, and industrial significance. By bridging nanotechnology and sustainable waste management, this innovative approach paves the way for greener solutions in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and environmental remediation. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, we aim to provide valuable insights into the principles, mechanisms, and future prospects of utilizing fruit waste for nanomaterial development, fostering a sustainable and resource-efficient scientific paradigm.
