Abstract: Abstract The present invention relates to the development of a bioactive pectin-based nanoemulsion ointment incorporating pectin extracted from jackfruit peel and phytochemical-rich guava leaf extract for enhanced wound healing and antimicrobial applications. Chronic wounds and skin infections remain a major healthcare challenge due to delayed healing, microbial resistance, and limitations associated with conventional synthetic wound care products. The invention utilizes jackfruit peel, an underutilized agro - industrial waste rich in pectin, as a sustainable biomaterial for ointment formulation. Guava leaves are selected due to their abundance of bioactive compounds such as quercetin, catechin, Gallic acid, tannins, and flavonoids, which exhibit potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. The developed nanoemulsion system enhances the stability, bioavailability, and skin penetration of the active phytoconstituents while providing controlled release at the wound site. The pectin matrix acts as a biocompatible and moisture-retaining polymer that creates an optimal healing environment and supports tissue regeneration. The combination of jackfruit peel-derived pectin and guava leaf extract provides synergistic effects by promoting fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, infection control, and reduction of oxidative stress. The formulation is characterized using physicochemical, microbiological, and biological analyses to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. This invention offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable wound healing system with significant potential for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Field of Invention
