The study investigated the potential use of quercetin as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from a dietary supplement. Results showed that spherical AgNPs with excellent stability and antimicrobial activity can be synthesized using the dietary supplement, attributed to the significant solubility provided by other ingredients.
This work focused on investigating whether quercetin from a dietary supplement can be used as an efficient reducing and stabilizing agent to obtain suitable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through a green synthesis. Antibacterial activity was tested against S. aureus, E. coli, and P. mirabilis for finding high inhibition values using this new route, even more significant than the values reported in current literature. Results stated that it is possible to synthesize spherical AgNPs with excellent stability and antimicrobial activity using a dietary supplement (low purity 20%). The success of this filing is due to the significant solubility provided by the other ingredients present in the dietary supplement.
