Biocidal evaluation of polyphenol-derived silver nanoparticles in a complex polymicrobial model system
Abstract: Sustainable polyphenol-derived silver nanoparticles (PD-AgNPs), synthesized from sugarcane bagasse extracts, were evaluated for antimicrobial activity in a chemically complex, polymicrobial model system (sugarcane juice). These nanoparticles were spherical (15 nm), crystalline, and highly stable (–24.8 mV). P...
