Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using turmeric extracts and investigation of their antibacterial activities

Antibacterial activity, morphology, and physicochemical stability of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles using thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oil

“…Many techniques are widely used to synthesize the silver nanoparticles, among them, the physical ('bottom up') and chemical ('top down') methods [1]. However, the physical and chemicals methods results in toxic and nonecological components to produce nanoparticles, which limit the use of these materials in many industrial areas, such as clinical, pharmaceutical and food [2,3].…”

Silver‐based surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy devices for detection of organophosphorus pesticides traces

“…Nanoparticles of gold and silver are typical active supports for the SERS due to their superior physical/chemical properties (plasmonic surface effects) and simple fabrication . The antibacterial and catalytic activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are additional advantages that can be incorporated in new biomaterials for biomedical applications …”

“…17,18 The antibacterial and catalytic activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are additional advantages that can be incorporated in new biomaterials for biomedical applications. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In this review, we summarize the recent development in SERS substrates applied in the detection of organophosphorus pesticides, based on metal nanoparticles-SERS substrates with focus on influence of preparation conditions on performance of SERS substrate systems.…”

Antimicrobial and Catalytic Activities of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Using Bay Laurel (<i>Laurus nobilis</i>) Leaves Extract

“…AgNPs were synthesized using a variety of plant extracts as reducing and stabilizing agents such as Ziziphus Jujuba leaf [5], Megaphrynium macrostachyum leaf [6], Myrmecodia pendan (Sarang Semut plant) [7], Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves [8], Bergenia ciliata [9], sulfated polysaccharide extract from Sargassum siliquosum, a brown alga [10], Eucalyptus oleosa [11], Annona squamosa L. [12], Pistacia atlantica [13], Pongamia pinnata [14], the cell free filtrate of marine sediment fungal species from the Southern peninsular coastal region of India [15], isoamyl acetate isolated from Annona squamosa [16], Eucalyptus camaldulensis [17], cellulose extract and sucrose [18], Chomelia asiatica plant leaves [19], aqueous Raphanus sativus root [20], chamomile [21], Commiphora caudata leaves [22], Staphylococcus epidermidis [23], and L-cysteine [24]. Furthermore, extract of Manilkara zapota (L.) seeds [25], Canna edulis Ker-Gawl [26] and aqueous extract of turmeric powder [27] were used to enhance the green synthesis of AgNPs.…”

“…The leaves of the bay laurel plant (Laurus nobilis) are widely used as a spice in foods and for production of its essential oil [27]. The bay laurel tree grows in the Mediterranean area and the southeast part of Europe [28].…”
