Abstract

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.
