Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles and its use in cellulose-gelatin nanocomposite film for food packaging application

Abstract

• The biosynthesis of Ag NPs using wild and Indigenous species exhibiting potential biological activity has not been explored to a large extent.
• The current investigation was intended to develop simple, stable and eco-friendly technique for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using flavonoid enriched flower extracts of M. longifolia and Diospyros melanoxylon fruit extract.
• The aim of the proposal is focused on. preparing biogenic, non-toxic AgNPs incorporated cellulose-gelatin polymer blend matrix for active food packaging applications.
