Figure 2

Biomolecules of plant extracts as reducing and capping agents for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Reducing agents: (a) caffeic acid in Macrotyloma uniflorum extract [99], (b) phenolic compounds in Terminalia chebula [100], and (c) luteolin and rosmarinic acid in basil extract [101]. Capping agents: (d) biomolecules in Latana camara-leaf extracts [102] and (e) biomolecules in Terminalia cuneata-bark extract [103].
