| Abstract Scope |
This study presents an eco-friendly nanotechnology approach, synthesizing PVP-capped Gum Arabic emulsified ternary oxides of Fe-Ag-V nanoparticles using mushroom, guava, and plantain peel extracts. Characterized by SEM and DLS, the nanoparticles demonstrate stability (average diameter: 291.6 nm, polydispersity index: 0.137). Effective against Staphylococcus aureus, they exhibit a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 0.3125 mg/ml and a Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of 1.25 mg/ml. While other bacterial strains show slightly higher MIC and MBC values, the nanoparticles still display inhibitory effects, suggesting potential against various infections. These findings underscore their efficacy at low concentrations, promising diverse applications. This study advances sustainable nanoparticle technology, offering insights into versatile uses. The nanoparticles' multifaceted properties position them as transformative tools in biomedicine, catalysis, and beyond, providing innovative solutions for real-world challenges. |
