Fish is protein rich food that needs skilful handling (Sujatha et al,2013). Main reason behind this is fish spoilage after capture due to high tropical heat which enhances activities of bacteria, enzyme and chemical oxidation of fat in fish. Due to improper handling near about 20-35% of fish harvest are wasted in India. These major losses could be minimized by application of skilful handling, processing and preservation techniques. The utilization of plant extract as reducing and stabilizing agents for nanoparticle synthesis offers numerous advantages over traditional chemical method including cost effectiveness, scalability and absence of toxic contaminant thus making plant mediated synthesis a sustainable alternative to its counterparts. (Singh et al,2023). Green synthesis uses plant extract rich in bioactive compound like flavonoids, alkaloid and phenolics as natural reducing and stabilizing agents instead of conventional method using harmful reducing agents. Green synthesis adheres to biodegradability, energy efficiency, waste reduction and uses of renewable resources as plants. (Abuzeid et al,2023). Use of indigenous plant knowledge for bioactive extraction connect modern nanotechnology with ancient ecological wisdom.
