Antioxidant Assay of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles from Edible Basidiomycetes Mushroom Fungi

Abstract: Background: In recent years, nanotechnology research is emerging as cutting edge technology interdisciplinary with physics, chemistry, biology, material science and medicine. AuNPs and AgNPs are an important class of nanomaterial for a wide range of biomedical applications. Synthesis of AuNPs and AgNPs through biological route is preferred due to its environment-friendly and economic aspects. Mushrooms have been known for their nutritional values and used as medicines by humans for ages. In modern terms, they … Show more

“…GA-AuNPs slightly lowered the inhibition when compared with standard ascorbic acid. The resent research revealed that biosynthesized GA-AuNPs resulted in highest ferric reducing capacity [43]. Interestingly in our study, the green synthesized GA-AuNPs from GA-AE showed increased FRAP activity.…”

“…It was observed that with increase in days of preservation ABTS + , DPPH, SO and NO scavenging activity increases in leaves preserved in NS and SN solution, on contradictory in distilled water set their activity decreases. Biogenic silver nanoparticles were reported to show high activity towards scavenging free radicals 51,52 and chelating metal ions 53 . It seems that the scavenging potential of NS, as well as SN protects leaf tissue from the intracellular harmful effect of free radicals.…”

“…Consumption of antioxidants as dietary supplements has helped people to fight against disorders like cancer, cardiovascular diseases and aging (Watters et al, 2007;Bjelakovic et al, 2014). AuNPs synthesized by chemical, physical, and biological routes possess antioxidant activity (Yakimovich et al, 2008;Medhe et al, 2014;Madhanraj et al, 2017). There are very few reports on antioxidant properties of AuNPs synthesized by microorganisms (Ahmad et al, 2003;Veeraapandian et al, 2012;Manivasagan et al, 2015;Markus et al, 2016).…”
