Abstract Custard apple is a dry land fruit. Its leaves exhibit different pharmacological activities. In the present study, both
silver (Ag) nanoparticles and chitosan-coated Ag (Chi-Ag) nanoparticles were fabricated using the aqueous leaf
extract of the custard apple plant. During preliminary phytochemical analysis, various types of phytocompounds
were found in the aqueous leaf extract of the same plant. Next, both nanoparticles were physiochemically characterized. FTIR analysis exhibited the fingerprint vibrational peaks of active bioactive compounds in plant extract,
Ag nanoparticles, and Chi-Ag nanoparticles. UV/Visible spectral analysis revealed the highest absorbance peak at
419 nm, indicating the More >
