Abstract
There are reports which described the formation of silver nanoparticles using the reduction mechanism with the help of extracts of different plants. This study emphasizes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Musa paradisiaca extracts. The Silver nanoparticles synthesized were characterized using UV visible spectroscopy, SEM, particle size analyser and Zeta potential. Due to the presence of aqueous plant extracts, silver nanoparticles were synthesized with size 100 to 120 nm. These particles were stabilized using PEGlyation. Food pathogens are known to to reduce productivity in agricultural fields. These nanoparticles were tested for antimicrobial potential against food pathogens and excellent activity was observed.
