The research team innovatively repurposed citrus peel waste to extract natural pectin. This pectin was then integrated with silver nanoparticles derived from the active components of Fructus Aurantii, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. The result is a groundbreaking anti-infective and regenerative biomaterial. Clinical tests have demonstrated its remarkable effectiveness in treating stubborn diabetic wounds, enhancing healing rates, and fostering skin tissue regeneration.
