Optimization of Parameters for Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract of Aegle marmelos

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to optimize the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaves of Aegle marmelos as the primary source. The optimal reaction medium comprised 2:1 concentration of leaf extract and 6mM concentration of silver nitrate solution (pH 7. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy at 420 nm, XRD and FTIR analysis. The antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles were confirmed with Bacillus subtilis andPseudomonas aeruginosa.

Key words:
AgNO3 ; Aegle marmelos leaf; UV-Vis spectroscopy; XRD; FTIR
