Biosynthesis of metallic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained much interest and offers an
attractive alternate to physical and chemical approaches. In recent year several safe, easy,
cost-effective, reproducible, and environmentally friendly synthesis approaches for silver
nanoparticles have been developed. In this research work, a simple, cheap, and unexplored
method was applied on green synthesis of AgNPs using secondary metabolites extracted
from Bixa orellana seeds. The seeds are rich of flavonoids and phenolic compounds which …
