Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using bovine skin gelatin and its antibacterial effect on clinical bacterial isolates.

ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles are being increasingly used in day-to-day life. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding their interactions with the surrounding environment. This study focused on a simple green method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in an autoclave at 15 psi (103 kPa) and 121°C. An aqueous solution of AgNO₃ as a precursor of Ag-NPs and gelatin (type B) reducing and/or stabilizing (capping) agent were used. The effect of various AgNO₃ concentrations of certain gelatin concentration and various gelatin concentrations at constant AgNO₃ concentration, and autoclaving time, was studied. UV-Vis spectra ascribed that the presence of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the synthesized Ag-NPs. TEM images and the selected area of electron
