Abstract :

Apple tree leaf extract is one of the effective materials in the synthesis of AgNPs, the results of FTIR spectroscopy showed the presence of several reducing agents. AgNPs were synthesized by mixing 2 ml of extract with 8 ml of AgNO3 solution based on the design of the experiment by surface response methodology in the heating temperature range of 30-70 °C and ultrasound time of 5-25 min. After the optimization, the results showed that the temperature of 52 °C and the duration of 15 min was the most suitable mode for the synthesis of AgNPs, in which the highest concentration was 27.10 ppm, the lowest average particle size was 66 nm, and the highest antioxidant property was 31.48. %. The results of UV-Vis spectroscopy and DLS analysis were confirmed at the optimum point with a slight difference, and the PDI and zeta potential were obtained as 0.397 and 21.2 mV, respectively. AgNPs showed good antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with halo diameters of 56 and 48 mm, respectively. The antifungal property of nanoparticles was 72%.
