Abstract
This review explores the contributions of natural resources with diverse disciplines which offers the insights into the design of greener chemical analysis. The discussion was focused on the published works in our group where a diverse range of natural reagents used in the determination of various environmental analytes has been highlighted, aiming to discuss the initiatives and applicability of the usage of alternative natural reagents and substitute synthetic methods in optimizing analytical processes, which in turn would lead to cost-effective and time-efficient in handling analytes assay. By exploring the potential of natural reagents, the sustainability in green chemical analysis could be promised in coming near future, especially in convincing for the talent and challenge for ASEAN in this new normal chemical analysis. © 2022, Malaysian Society of Analytical Sciences.
