Abstract

Betacyanins(BC) are reddish-purple pigments widely found in the peels of white-fleshed dragon fruit (Selenicereus undatus) and peels and pulps of red-fleshed dragon fruit (Selenicereus costaricensis). BC pigments are good anti-oxidants that inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants and  thereby promote the reduction of metal ions to zero-valent metals. It also acts as a good stabilising and capping agent in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Hence, this research aims to extract, and quantize the content of BC from the peels of Selenicereus undatus, to fabricate betacyanin-rich- Selenicereus undatus (SU) modified bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3 NPs) and characterize using UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDAX and BET. The quantity and stability of the betacyanin are optimized using various parameters like time, temperature, solvent ratio, pH, etc., through a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 538 nm. Synthesized SU-Bi2O3 NPs aim for the alleviation of synthetic dye contaminants through adsorption- an efficient route for water remediation. The nano-adsorbent Bi2O3 NPs showed an increase in dye adsorption with an increase in reaction time, temperature, and Bi2O3 NPs dosage, enabling efficient removal of dyes such as Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes.
