Recent advancements in nanoscience underscore the transformative potential of nanomaterials environmental and biological applications. In this study, we synthesized gold nanoparticles (Au@TPE NPs) using an eco-friendly cost-effective approach, leveraging tangerine peel extract as both a capping reducing agent. This method presents sustainable alternative to traditional chemical agents. We optimized synthesis parameters, including time (5, 30, 60, 90 min), temperature (25, 40, 60°C), concentration 10, 15, 20 mM) refine size morphology. Characterization via UV-Vis, XRD, FT-IR, EDAX, FESEM, TEM revealed that at 40°C 15 mM exhibited optimal (∼26±5 nm) spherical shape. The Au@TPE NPs demonstrated antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) 31.25 μg/ml for Klebsiella pneumoniae Escherichia coli, 62.5 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Notably, they also antifungal Candida albicans 92.7% antioxidant DPPH scavenging assay 250 μg/ml. Photocatalytic tests effectively degraded methyl orange rhodamine B, achieving 88.6% 93.2% degradation under UV light, respectively, 67.3% 74.1% sunlight. These promising catalytic properties suggest significant diverse
