Plant-Mediated Synthesis of Mono- and Bimetallic (Au–Ag) Nanoparticles: Future Prospects for Food Quality and Safety

The environmental, economic, and operational limits associated with the physical, chemical, microbiological techniques for production of nanoparticles (NPs) are principal obstructions to their rapid commercial applications in various fields including food packaging sensing ensure quality safety. Over years, many reports revealed that nanotechnological (metal-based NPs) application facilitates an alternate, interactive, reliable, as well simple technology industries sector. In this review, we summarized usage plant extract biosynthesis bimetallic (Au–Ag) monometallic counterpart NPs. Further, impact reaction conditions identification reactive phytochemicals mechanism these was reviewed. recent progress on Ag, Au, or Au–Ag NPs analysis comprehensively discussed. safety aspect sector use also briefly stated.
