Green chemistry synthesis of gold nanoparticles using lactic acid as a reducing agent

Gold Nanoparticles in Chemical and Biological Sensing

“…182 Tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO), has been used in the presence of stabilizer octadecylamine. 183,184 Studies using phosphine, 185,186 carboxylate ligands, 187–190 lactic acid, 191 and hydroquinone 192 as stabilizing ligands have also been documented.…”

Controlled spontaneous generation of gold nanoparticles assisted by dual reducing and capping agents

“…Interesting findings were notably obtained with tannic acid [113,114], ascorbic acid [115], ascorbic-acid-based amphiphiles [116], gallic acid [117], 2-mercaptosuccinic acid [118,119], lactic acid [120], cinnamic acid [121], and the synthetic antibiotic ciprofloxacin (1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-piperazinylquinolone-3-carboxylic acid) [122]. The main interest of these weak organic acids compared with some other reducing agents relies on the fact that Au-NPs can be synthesized at neutral pH and at room temperature.…”

Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles by Extracellular Components of Lactobacillus casei

“…A great deal of lactic acid is, therefore, contained extracellularly of L. casei cells. One previous study showed that lactic acid could synthesize AuNPs . The size of nanoparticles produced by lactic acid was 50.75 nm.…”
