A review on exploring phytosynthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using genus Brassica

Abstract: Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field of applied biological science and nanotechnology. For application of nanotechnology in medical, agriculture, and environmental fields, it is important to find more reliable and ecofriendly methods for synthesis of nanoparticles. Synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is done by various physical and chemical methods but the biological methods are relatively simple, cost-effective, non-toxic, and environmental friendly methods. Extract of Brassica genus vegetables and plants have been used as reducing agent for the environmental friendly synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles, so the present review focuses on the synthesis of nanoparticles with special emphasis on the silver and gold nanoparticles by using plants of genus Brassica and their applications in various fields.

Nanobiotechnology and Supramolecular Mechanistic Interactions on Approach for Silver Nanoparticles for Healthcare Materials

Abstract: Nanobiotechnology is an essential area of science that relates advances in nanoscience associated with biotechnology. Nanostructures have very different potentials when compared to the material of origin on the macro scale, and the supramolecular interactions often potentiate these properties. For silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesis, a stable medium is essential to establish the nanostructure. There are various routes to synthesize the AgNPs. This chapter involves the synthesis of AgNPs using the two approaches, chemical and green route. The choice of green synthesis becomes appropriate due to the efficiency of the dispersive medium and low environmental impact. The supramolecular chemistry approach justifies different ways to synthesize these nanoparticles that have a significant antimicrobial effect and can be used for healthcare material production.

Nanobiosensors, as a Next-Generation Diagnostic Device for Quality & Safety of Food and Dairy Product

Abstract: Nanotechnology and biotechnology are a sole combination and generate a new advanced discipline: nanobiotechnology. It includes the application of the tools and processes of nanotechnology to study and manipulate biological systems. Nanobiosensor is an advanced, analytical technique designed and developed by nanotechnology and biotechnological applications. They have remarkable benefits with cost-effective, high selectivity, specificity, more rapid, robust, and sensitive quantitative techniques for field analysis capability. These techniques have proved to be the best tools to ensure food and dairy product quality and safety. This chapter focuses on the potential role of nanomaterials (gold, magnetic, carbon nanotube, silver nanoparticles, etc.), which are currently being used in various nanobiosensors to find various chemical adulterants, different toxins, and harmful pathogens. Analysis of food and dairy products for adulterants, such as starch, urea, hydrogen peroxide, neutralizer, detergents, boric acid, melamine, mycotoxins, and bacteria, is performed. Various nanobiosensor used for this purpose are nanowire biosensors, ion channel biosensor, cantilever biosensor, and optical biosensor.
