Abstract
A natural biopolymer, tamarind exhibits eco-friendly, biodegradable, and biocompatible characteristics, offering a renewable and sustainable alternative for nanoparticle formulation compared to synthetic polymers. The chelation effect of (-OH), (-COOH), and (-CO) in tamarind plays an important role in the binding and stabilizing of metal ions, during nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis and enhances the stability and uniformity of NPs. Tamarind has some drawbacks e.g., low solubility, and dullness. Derivatization of tamarind improved swelling, water solubility, mucoadhesive properties, and viscosity, which was achieved through grafting, copolymerization, and cross-linking. NPs of tamarind have been synthesized using various methods, including the co-precipitation method, sol-gel method, hydrothermal method, green synthesis method, in-situ, ex-situ, and solvent casting method. The derivatization and fabrication of tamarind NPs were confirmed via some techniques including fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ay dispersive diffraction (XRD), ultra-violet visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS), dynamic light scattering (DSC), nuclear genetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Tamarind-based NPs exhibit a spectrum of versatile applications including antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, immunomodulatory, anticancer, drug delivery, hazardous metal, and dye removal, agriculture, biosensing, food packaging, electrochemical devices, and many more. This review provides the details regarding tamarind derivatives and nanoparticles introduced to date. It incites us about the synthesis of a novel derivative of tamarind and explores its applications in various fields.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
