Title : Enhanced Antioxidant Activity Of Gold Nanoparticles Embeded Solanum Tuberosum Extract And HPTLC Quantification

Author Name : Roopa Rani, Kiran Singh, Manmohan Srivastava

Synopsis :

The facile synthesis of stable gold nano particles embeded solanum tuberosum (GNPST) is demonstrated using extract of Solanum Tuberosum. The best parameters for the synthesis were NaAuCl4 salt (0.1M, 2 μL) at room temperature. The results were verified using UV-Vis spectrometry, XRD, AFM and SEM. GNPST were monodispersed and of the size (40 ± 20nm). DPPH and Fenton bioassay indicated that GNPST exhibit 12% enhancement in antioxidant activity. HPTLC detection identified ascorbic acid as major antioxidant compound in the potato extract.
