Spectroscopy investigation on chemo-catalytic, free radical scavenging and bactericidal properties of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized using Salicornia brachiata aqueous extract

Non-targeted metabolomics and scavenging activity of reactive oxygen species reveal the potential of Salicornia brachiata as a functional food

“…The compound cefazolin sodium (KEGG C08098) was detected in plant extracts, which is a well-known antibiotic that acts on a wide range of bacteria. Previously, aqueous extract of S. brachiata was found to efficiently produce silver nanoparticles containing bactericidal activity against pathogenic bacteria (Seralathan et al, 2014). Additionally, compounds with insecticidal or fungicidal activities were detected in the S. brachiata extract (Supplementary Tables S1 and S2).…”

Sunlight mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles using redox phytoprotein and their application in catalysis and colorimetric mercury sensing

“…5). DPPH has been widely used as a free radical scavenger [11]. DPPH showed relatively higher free radical scavenging activity in the sunlight irradiated FNR/FD extract (Fig.…”

“…Among other biological methods for synthesizing NPs, plant extract based synthesis has been recognized to be more advantageous over the other environmentally benign biological process, since it eliminates the elaborate process of maintenance [9]. There are many reports available for the preparation of metal NPs using various plant extracts [10,6,11]. However, the specific mechanism for the reduction of metallic ions by the plant extract remains enigmatic, because the phytoconstituents vary with each plant species.…”

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Natural Plant Extract and Its Catalytic Reductive Degradation of Acid Violet 7

“…The opportunities of multiple collisions were increased which could make contribution to the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles. [11] Figure 7 showed the UV-visible absorption spectra of AgNPs at three different temperatures 40℃, 60℃ and 80℃, respectively. As shown from Figure 7, the rate of AgNPs formation increased significantly with the increasing of the reaction temperature, and the characteristic peak was observed in the apogee for reaction temperature at 80℃.…”

“…Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) attractive more attention among the noble metals due to its exclusive properties like electrochemical, electrical conductivity, photo catalytic, chemical stability, magnetic, chemo catalytic and antimicrobial activities [7][8][9][10][11][12] . Silver plays an important role in drug delivery, wastewater treatment, agriculture, biosensor and textile industries [13][14][15] .…”
