Carbon dots with less than 10 nm sizes have been
emerged as a fascinating tool in many areas with their non-toxic,
biocompatible, water-soluble and easy synthesis merits. Bioimaging, biosensing,
photocatalysis, drug delivery etc. are some applications of luminescent carbon
dots. Carbon dots may be synthesized from any carbon sources including foods,
food wastes, plants, chemicals, graphene etc. via top-down or bottom up
methods. However, carbon dots can naturally be extracted from some foods, natural
products such as honey, caramels and sugar beet molasses. In this paper, we tried
to focus on synthesis and applications of carbon dots derived from food or
natural products.
