Herein a simple strategy has been demonstrated for the synthesis of environmentally amiable and highly fluorescent carbon dots from the most useful plant of Indian classical Ayurveda i.e. Bael patra fruit. The morphological features and chemical composition of the prepared carbon dots were characterized through High resolution transmission electron microscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Owing to their highly emission nature, the applicability of carbon dots was tested against various food colorant i.e. Allura red. Under the optimized conditions, the decreased fluorescence intensity exhibited a good linear relationship with increasing concentration of Allura red. Additionally, an extensive research was carried out to determine the adsorption efficiency of carbon dots for Allura red and heavy metals. Based on the context, here we report the novelty of this work, demonstrating the decontamination of various samples from Allura red and heavy metals with the application of carbon dots.
