The research focuses on isolating hesperidin from orange peel and creating hesperidin gold nanoparticles to explore their biomedical and environmental applications.
Gold nanoparticles, known for their effectiveness in visible light, were tested for their ability to degrade organic dyes and pollutants, showing first-order kinetics in photocatalytic activity.
Additionally, these hesperidin gold nanoparticles demonstrated significant antioxidant properties, outperforming ascorbic acid, indicating their potential as both antioxidants and photocatalysts for healthcare and pollution management.
