Abstract: |
Generally, date waste is disposed in landfills or directly burned in the field, which leads to environmental pollution. Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles with plant extracts has become the most suitable alternative to chemical synthesis because the process is economical, energy efficient and environmentally safe. In the last twenty to thirty years, various plant sources have been used to make green nanoparticles, and few of them have used extracts from different parts of date waste as reducing, capping or stabilizing agents. This review focuses on the methods of extracting extracts from different parts of date and synthesizing them with different metal salts using these extracts. Phytochemicals in the extract were responsible for the reduction of metals. Except for a few, all studies have reported spherical nanoparticles, but their sizes vary. These nanoparticles have high prospects in applications such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant and catalytic activities. This study can pave the way for further progress in this field and researchers can do future work to produce antimicrobial nanoparticles on a large scale and apply them in the food and biomedical industries using date waste extract.
