Synthesis, Characterization and Antidiabetic Potential of Bee Pollen Based Silver Nanoparticles

Bee pollen is both an important food source and a part of apitherapy applications because the components it contains such as fat, carbohydrate, lipid phenolics. In this study, environmentally friendly, biocompatible bee pollen-based silver nanoparticles (BP-AgNPs) were synthesized by utilizing potential reducing powers contained in pollen. The resulting characterized using spectroscopic microscopic techniques. It was determined that gave maximum absorbance at 348 nm. observed particle sizes ranged between 40-60 nm on average. inhibition effect obtained BP-AgNPs α-amylase α-glucosidase enzymes investigated. IC50 values 2.56 ± 0.10 2.13 0.11 mg/mL for enzymes, respectively. could be used support treatment Diabetes mellitus.
