Resumé

Nanoparticles are used immensely due to its small size, orientation, physical properties, which are reportedly shown to change the performance of any other material which is in contact with these tiny particles. These particles can be prepared easily by different chemical, physical, and biological approaches. But the biological approach is the most emerging approach of preparation, because, this method is easier than the other methods, ecofriendly and less time consuming. Ethanol extract of fresh leaves of Carica papaya was used for the synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles are silver particles between 1nm and 100nm in size. They move towards extracellular synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using dried biomass appears to be cost effective, eco-friendly to that of conventional methods of nanoparticles synthesis.  Keywords: Carica papaya, ethanol extract, Silver nanoparticles, Antimicrobial activity Cite this Article S.
