The demand for nanoparticles has been increasing rapidly in recent years due to their unique properties of interest for a wide range of applications. Several physical, chemical, or microorganisms-based methods can be employed in the synthesis of nanoparticles. However, classical processes are time-consuming, complicated, and raise environmental concerns due to the use of high energy and toxic chemicals. Synthesis using plant extract outweighs some classical methods because it is rapid, simple, and eco-friendly. Therefore, plant extract appears promising to produce nanoparticles. Here we review the use of extracts from various species and plant parts of Garcinia for the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Garcinia gummi-gutta is a tropical species of Garcinia native to Indonesia. Common names include Garcinia cambogia, as well as brindleberry, Malabar tamarind, Goraka, and kudam puli. The fruit looks like a small pumpkin and is green to pale yellow. We present the major metabolites responsible for metal ions reduction and nanoparticles stabilisation, the synthesis mechanism, the types of metal nanoparticles formed, and their potential applications. Advantages and challenges of Garcinia extract utilisation are also discussed.

由于纳米颗粒具有广泛应用的独特性质，近年来对纳米颗粒的需求迅速增加。几种基于物理、化学或微生物的方法可用于合成纳米颗粒。然而，由于使用高能量和有毒化学品，经典过程既耗时又复杂，并且会引起环境问题。使用植物提取物进行合成比一些传统方法更重要，因为它快速、简单且环保。因此，植物提取物似乎有望生产纳米颗粒。在这里，我们回顾了藤黄不同物种和植物部分提取物在金属纳米颗粒的绿色合成中的应用。藤黄属gummi-gutta是藤黄属的热带种类原产于印度尼西亚。常见名称包括藤黄果，以及 brindleberry、马拉巴罗望子、Goraka 和 kudam puli。果实看起来像一个小南瓜，呈绿色至淡黄色。我们介绍了负责金属离子还原和纳米粒子稳定的主要代谢物、合成机制、形成的金属纳米粒子的类型及其潜在应用。还讨论了藤黄提取物利用的优势和挑战。
