Abstract
Orange (Citrus sinensis) peel is one of the most underutilized biowastes. Most of the orange peels powders are the natural
bleaching agent and it is the best source of Vitamin “C.” The orange peel extracts acting as reducing and stabilizing agent for
the metal nanoparticles, the orange fruit peels are enriched with different natural resources and it conveniently synthesizes the
gold nanoparticles (AuNps) under microwave irradiation for 5 min (450 watts). The synthesized AuNps show strong UV–visible
absorption at 534 nm, the green synthesized AuNps further optimized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, HR-scanning
electronic spectroscopy, and HR-transmission electronic microscopy, X-ray diffractive spectroscopy), zeta potential, etc.
