Preparation and characterization of nano silver nitrate by Pyrus communis plant extract (peel and seeds) and biological activity study

Pyrus communis peel and seeds were used in this study to synthesize silver nanoparticles utilizing a quick and easy method. The plant extract serves as- a reducing and capping agent. To discover the chemicals that cause silver ion reduction, FTIR was used to assess the functional groups in the plant extract. According to a UV-Visible spectrophotometer, the peel had an absorbance peak of 460 nm. In comparison, the seeds had an absorbance peak of 433 nm. The rate of the diameters was discovered using an atomic force microscope to learn about surface topography. The results showed that Pyrus communis Peel AgNPs with a diameter of 85.51 nm and Pyrus communis seeds with a diameter of 62.50 nm were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro, and seeds were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro. Seeds were shown to be the most inhibitory of the microorganisms tested.
