BIOFABRICATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM FRUITS WASTE EXTRACT AND THEIR APPLICATION TOWARDS ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The development of uniform nanoparticles has been intensively pursued because of their technological and fundamental scientific importance. In this work, we have formulated a simple and effective procedure for biofabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using fruit waste extract. The resulting AgNPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The UV-visible spectra of the silver nanoparticles showed an adsorption peak at 410 nm. The TEM image reveals that the uniformly dispersed AgNPs with a uniform size and shape in the average size of 6 nm. Biosynthesised AgNPs were studied for antimicrobial activity against the human pathogenic bacteria’s (Proteus, Klebsiella). These nontoxic nanoparticles which can be prepared in a biosynthesis method prove to be potential candidates for medical applications.
