MICROWAVE ASSISTED GREEN SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING BOSWELLIA SERRATA FLOWER EXTRACT AND EVALUATION OF THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
In the present investigation, we describe a cost effective green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the extract of Boswellia serrata flower as reducing agent. The formed silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier Transfer Infra Red and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The functional group responsible for Ag0 reduction was found to be alkanoid compounds from FTIR. The SEM analysis showed the size of nanoparticles to be between 60-84nm. Antimicrobial activity of the formed nanoparticles exhibited maximum activity against gram negative bacteria than gram positive bacteria. This is for the first report on the use of Boswellia serrata flower for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
