摘要

Nanoscience is fast evolving and has applications in food science, biotechnology, and nanobiotechnology. The global problem of handling non-biodegradable garbage, which is expensive and hard to dispose of, requires novel solutions. Nanotechnology and other innovative technologies can make biodegradable trash useful. Recent research has focused on sustainable nanoparticles (NPs) production from biodegradable trash. Over the past decade, biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been considered a viable alternative to conventional approaches. Its biocompatibility, environmental friendliness, and ease of use make this strategy recommended. Industrial fruit waste, rich in bioactive phytoconstituents, may be used to cap and reduce NPs. These bioactive compounds facilitate the synthesis of nanoparticles and exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Silver nanoparticles derived from fruit waste, when incorporated into food coatings, have been shown to inhibit microbial growth by approximately 95–99%, thereby extending the shelf life of food products by 7–10 days. Similarly, the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles into biodegradable packaging materials enhances UV protection by nearly 80% and improves mechanical strength by about 30%. Quantitative benefits demonstrate their sustainability and efficiency as preservative and plastic alternatives. Fruit peel nanoparticles show promise in practical applications. This review article discusses biogenic NPs made from fruit waste, their types, extraction methods, functional features, pharmacological potential, industrial applications, and future advances and examines sustainable nanotechnology’s current advances by turning fruit peels into therapeutic nanomedicines.
