The assurance of the security and safety of food is one of the primary obstacles affecting the
world's community. Every country allocates a significant proportion of its resources to feed
component oxidation is the primary driver of food deterioration during storage and
processing wastage of food, active packaging, a form of food packaging technology, has
witnessed substantial growth in recent years (Rahman, 2020). Its primary objectives are to
ensure food safety and lengthen shelf life. For enhancing the functionality of packaging
materials, active packaging entails adding active substances like antioxidants and
carbon, oxygen, as well as hydrogen. Their controlled luminescence across the spectrum of
visible light is crucial to the quality of CDs. Moreover, they offer various benefits such as
abilities. For an array of biomedical applications, researchers have been investigating the
photoluminescent characteristics of non-metallic quantum dots for the past ten years. These
environmentally safe and low-toxic quantum dots have opened up novel opportunities for
countless biological and other utilizations. Quantum dot technology has also been the subject
oxidation, carbon dots have the potential to play a role in the fabrication of unique
biodegradable films for food packaging. These carbon dots can successfully maintain the
freshness and quality of food, prolonging its shelf life. There is a need for carbon dots that
can match the industry's high criteria for expanding the storage life and ensuring the safety of
packed items given the strict requirements of the food packaging sector. Due to its simplistic
renewable sources, for example, leftover food, waste from agriculture, microbes,
option. The active additives employed for the development of nanocomposite films
frequently originate via chemical procedures, which can be pricey as well as present potential
hazards for applications involving either indirect or immediate human contact. The key
benefit of CQD, however, lies in the fact it is capable of being easily produced from a range
of biomass and waste products, which aligns with the current trend of inexpensive, green,
Glucose, potato peel, banana paste, turmeric, used acorn cups, kelp, soy protein
isolate, lactose as well as cow milk are a couple of natural components utilised in the
fabrication of carbon dots and comes from renewable resources. This reduces reliance on
limited resources because their output may be replenished or regenerated. A lot of the carbon
dot sources, such as potato peel, discarded acorn cups, and leftover tea residue, are dependent
on remnants or waste products from other operations. It supports the circular economy's
precepts and assists in minimising waste by turning these materials of waste into valuable
carbon dots from substances that are naturally occurring might require less energy. Natural
resources tend to come with inherent characteristics that make the production of CDs easier
and more environmentally benign. Further, natural components used to make carbon dots
may reduce their environmental impact over the period of their existence.
