TLDR
In this paper, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using Syzygium cumini seed extract as reducing agent and the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X ray analysis (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
Abstract
The environmental friendly synthesis of nanoparticles process is a revolutionary step in the field of nanotechnology. In this study, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using Syzygium cumini seed extract as reducing agent. UV–visible spectroscopy was used for quantification of silver nanoparticle synthesis. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X ray analysis (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The in vitro antioxidant properties of the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles have been evaluated and these nanoparticles were found to have higher antioxidant capacity compared to the seed extract and thus can be used as potential radical scavenger against deleterious damages caused by the free radicals.
