Abstract
In this present
study, an eco-friendly and easy method for the synthesis of silver
nanoparticles using aloevera extract as a reducing agent has been done. The
absorbance of the aloevera silver nanoparticles is measured in UV-visible
spectrophotometer and it showed a peak at 430nm.The shape and size of the
synthesized particle were visualized by scanning electron microscope. The AgNPs
were found to have enhanced antimicrobial properties and showed zone of
inhibition against Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species. From
the results it is suggested that the silver nanoparticles synthesised from
aloevera extract showed good antimicrobial activity, thus it can be coated in
food wrap films as it prevents the fruits and vegetables from microbial growth
and extends the shelf life.
