Influence of the Alcoholic/Ethanolic Extract of Mangifera indica Residues on the Green Synthesis of FeO Nanoparticles and Their Application for the Remediation of Agricultural Soils
Abstract:The green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NP) has been investigated using the extract in absolute ethanolic and alcoholic solvents 96% from the peel of the mango fruit (Mangifera indica), thus evaluating the influence of the type of solvent on the extraction of reducing metabolites. A broad approach to characterization initially controlled by UV-vis spectrophotometry has been directed, the formation mechanism was evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the magnetic properties by… Show more
“…The results were in agreement with previous studies, in which the synergic effect of AgNPs and herbal extracts against various pathogenic bacteria was proved. [69][70][71][72][73] In term of particle size, the small size of AgNPs (4-5 nm) as well as the small size of Allium@AgNPs (13.5 nm) might contribute to high antibacterial property of the nanosystem. [74][75][76] Patra and Baek et al suggested that the AgNPs could strongly bind to the bacterial cell wall, then disrupt its structure.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
