Abstract

Innovative silica-based bioactive materials containing mandarin extract, “green” silver nanoparticles and honey, were originally designed for biomedical purposes. Silver nanoparticles were phytosynthesized from aqueous extract of mandarin peels. The samples were spectral analyzed by UV-Vis absorption and FT-IR ATR spectroscopy. The biomaterials prepared in this study exhibited high antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, and also good antioxidant properties evaluated in vitro by chemiluminescence technique. These organic/inorganic materials could be valuable candidates for many biophotonic and biomedical applications..
