Abstract
Abstract Among biogenic methods employed for synthesizing various nanoparticles (NPs), gum tragacanth (TGC)-mediated NP production is important. The gum TGC not only qualifies the principles of green chemistry but also embraces unique qualities. In this perspective, the current review concentrates on the composition, uses, and exploitation of gum towards synthesizing metal NP of silver (Ag), gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and their characterization (UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy). In addition, applications of synthesized NP as a bactericide, catalyst, antioxidant, and peroxidase mimic are emphasized. Ag NP (13 nm) showed antibacterial action against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria at 2–12 μg‧mL−1. The exploitation of Ag NP as a bactericide makes it a candidate of choice for medicinal and pharmacological applications. The catalytic activity of Pd NP (14 nm) demonstrated borohydride reduction of methylene blue. The gum reduced/capped metal and metal oxide NP serve as redox and photocatalysts for the remediation of toxic pigments and dyes in industrial effluents. At 15 μg‧mL−1, Pd NP exhibited 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyle radical scavenging activity (95.8%) and served as an artificial enzyme mimic for colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide. The industrial applications of other TGC-based nanocomposites, such as heavy metal sorption, wound dressing, drug carrier, tissue engineering, etc., are mentioned.
期刊介绍:
Green Processing and Synthesis is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal that provides up-to-date research both on fundamental as well as applied aspects of innovative green process development and chemical synthesis, giving an appropriate share to industrial views. The contributions are cutting edge, high-impact, authoritative, and provide both pros and cons of potential technologies. Green Processing and Synthesis provides a platform for scientists and engineers, especially chemists and chemical engineers, but is also open for interdisciplinary research from other areas such as physics, materials science, or catalysis.
