Momordica charantia is a phenolic rich vegetable. In this study, the fruits and seeds extract of M. charantia were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using biotechnological approach. Structural, morphological, and antimicrobial properties of the synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using UV/Vis Spectrophotometry, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), High Resolution Transmission Electronics Microscopy (HRTEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). In DLS, the average particle size of Ag-NPs was found 17.5 ± 2.1 nm and 18.3 ± 1.9 nm using seed and fruit extract, respectively. HRTEM has revealed their spherical structure for both seed and fruit extract of M. charantia. FESEM images found Ag-NPs with the size between ~20 and ~35 nm. The Ag NPs exhibited Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) centered at 405 nm for seed extract and 402 nm for fruit extract using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. FT-IR results showed phenolic and carbohydrate compounds involved in the synthesis of the Ag NPs. Furthermore, the synthesized Ag NPs has found highly rich in antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium. Thus, bioconversion of Ag NPs by M. charantia could be employed as a potential antibacterial source to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms from agricultural and food preservation industry.

The present study reports a rapid plant-based biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using callus extract of Jatropha curcas L. The particle size and morphological analyses were carried out using Zetasizer, SEM, TEM. The physicochemical properties were monitored using UV-Vis spectroscopic, IR and DSC. The formation of silver nanoparticle was confirmed by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and absorbance peaks at 421 nm. The silver nanoparticle was found to be a negatively charged with size ranging from 2 nm to 50 nm. The morphology of the nanoparticle is uniformly spherical and has a dispersion ratio of 0.14. The physicochemical study using DSC indicated significant thermal stability and crystalline nature of the nanoparticle. This intracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles is simple, cheap and eco-friendly than other mechanical and chemical approaches.

Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) fiber probe provides abundant interaction area between light and materials, permits detection within limited space and is especially useful for remote or in situ detection. A silver decorated SERS fiber optic probe was prepared by hydrothermal method. This method manages to accomplish the growth of silver nanoparticles and its adherence on fiber optic tip within one step, simplifying the synthetic procedure. The effects of reaction time on phase composition, surface plasmon resonance property and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum (UV-VIS absorption spectrum) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that when reaction time is prolonged from 4–8 hours at 180 °C, crystals size and size distribution of silver nanoparticles increase. Furthermore, the morphology, crystal size and distribution density of silver nanoparticles evolve along with reaction time. A growth mechanism based on two factors, equilibrium between nucleation and growth, and the existence of PVP, is hypothesized. The SERS fiber probe can detect rhodamin 6G (R6G) at the concentration of 10−6 M. This SERS fiber probe exhibits promising potential in organic dye and pesticide residue detection.

Silver nanoplates (SNPs) having different size were synthesized by a seed-mediated method. The seeds -silver nanoparticles with 4 – 6 nm diameters were synthesized first by reducing silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the present of Trisodium Citrate and Hydrogen peroxide. Then these seeds were developed by continue reducing Ag\(^+\) ions with various amount of L-Ascorbic acid to form SNPs. Our analysis showed that the concentratrion of L-Ascorbic acid, a secondary reducing agent, played an important role to form SNPs. In addition, the size and in-plane dipole plasmon resonance wavelenght of silver nanoplates were increased when the concentration of added silver nitrate increased. The characterization of SNPs were studied by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDS and TEM methods.
