Abstract:Background::
Foodborne pathogenic bacteria continue to become a global concern despite
the advancements in food packaging technology. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely studied in
the field as they exhibit desirable inhibitory properties against foodborne pathogens. AgNPs are conventionally
synthesized by toxic chemical and physical means; hence, there is a need to seek environmentally
safe alternative routes for producing AgNPs.
Objective::
The study aimed to synthesize AgNPs using bignay (Antidesma bu… Show more
