摘要

The conventional synthesis of nanoparticles has been an intensive, complex, expensive and an unsafe approach which gravitates the urgency for utilization of sustainably efficient and inclusive alternatives. Recent researches have shown significant inclination for discovery of greener alternatives green chemistry and utilization of Bio-resources for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Edible flowers being rich in potential active molecules (phytochemical and active agents i.e. phenolics, anthocyanis, carotenoids, flavonoids, proteins etc.), offer apt potential for Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. This chapter offers insights in distinct aspects of green synthesis, of inorganic, edible flower mediated metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, majorly silver along with gold, platinum, Cadmium etc. with peculiar characteristics. Specifics of various developmental parameters such as temperature, reaction time, pH and concentration ensure the biosynthesis efficiency and the stability of nanoparticles. Characterization through SEM, FTIR, XRD, EDX, DLS and other techniques aid in evaluating and defining the properties of the obtained nanoparticles including the interaction with food matrices, size, shape and stability. Apart from offering various health benefits the flower derived nanoparticles also offers anti-cancerous, cardio-protective, anti-diabetic and other long term functional health effects. Moreover, the nanoparticles find their utilization in food application in packaging’s, fortification, food safety, imparting preservative effects (antioxidant and antimicrobial) and thereby increasing the shelf life of food products. The synthesis of nanoparticles from edible flowers are although worth scaling synthesis for their commercial production however there is also a need for addressing and eliminating the underlying challenges associated with the same for instance nanotoxicity and allergenicity. Therefore, this chapter is aimed at unravelling the integrated and elaborative intricacies of nanomaterial synthesis in the field of green nanotechnology from edible flowers.
