This chapter elaborates the basic introduction of nanoparticles obtained from
different sources. This includes the information regarding different types of
nanoparticles, methods of synthesis and important principles of green chemistry etc.
along with all these parameters this chapter emphasize on production of environmental
friendly green nanoparticles by using different parts of the plants such as stem, bark,
leaves, root, flower, seed and fruit etc. Clear information can be gathered from the
chapter regarding appropriate parameters and precautions to be taken while synthesis of
green and sustainable materials with wide ranges of applications which includes
essential industries like food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals etc. Brief introduction has
also been mentioned here about the various characterization techniques adopted for
identification and monitoring of green nanoparticles.
Keywords: Applications, Green nanoparticles, Nanoparticles, Synthesis.
