“…A few studies have reported the involvement of individual plant compound for biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The plant compounds, cyclic peptides (Bar et al, 2009;Joglekar et al, 2011), sorbic acid (Dubey et al, 2010c), citric acid (Prathna et al, 2011), euphol (Valodkar et al, 2011), polyhydroxy limonoids (Mondal et al, 2011), ascorbic acid , retinoic acid , ellagic tannins, ellagic acid, gallic acid (Edison and Sethuraman, 2013), epicatechin gallat, and theaflavin (Satyavani et al, 2011) are strongly believed to play a crucial role in the bioreduction of silver nitrate and also in the stabilization of silver nanoparticles. These reported plant constituents have been identified with the help of FT-IR spectral data and their chemical structures are given in Fig.…”
