Unleashing the extract of silver nanoparticles from vegetable waste of Solanum tuberosum peels and Coriandrum sativum stems: Targeting antitumor, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity

Silver nanoparticles are an important innovation in nanotechnology, due to their high stability and low chemical reactivity in comparison to other metals having received much attention in biological application because of their unique physicochemical properties. The prospective uses of biosynthesized AgNPs in different fields, including antitumor, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity. Even the nutrient rich vegetables are commonly wasted, despite their numerous useful applications. Utilizing vegetable waste to produce silver nanoparticles through green synthesis is an advantageous, economical, and environmentally friendly method for producing valuable products while addressing waste management concerns. The main emphasis of this study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using vegetable waste from Solanum tuberosum (potato) and Coriandrum sativum (coriander). The utilization of plant extracts for the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles has garnered attention because of their economical and environmentally friendly attributes, along with their potential for large scale production. Among the metallic nanoparticles, silver is highly efficient against various pathogens, biocompatible and easy to incorporate into medicinal applications. This investigation focuses on the use of potato peel extract and coriander stem for formation of silver nanoparticles.
