What is it about?

The utilization of renewable and abundant agricultural waste such as Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel extract has been developed wherein a simple extraction of dried peel in water offered a natural sensor; ensuing yellowish solution comprising phenolic compounds reacted explicitly to detect Fe+3 and I− solutions by naked-eye. The UV–Vis absorption spectrum of the resulting extracted mixture was drastically changed toward the longer wavelengths only after the addition of the Fe3+ and I− while there was no discernible spectral change due to the addition of a broad range of other common cations and anions. In the case of Fe3+ and I−, the transformation can be followed by the naked eye in the concentration range of 5 × 10−4 M and 1 × 10−2 M, respectively. An acceptable and reasonable detection with 47.05426 μM efficiency was attained in comparison to other Fe3+ indicators such as ferroin.
