Trends in Sustainable Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Agri-Food Waste Extracts and Their Applications in Health

Currently, silver nanoparticles have boomed in food and medicine due to their potential applications, such as antibacterial anticancer activity. These been synthesized by several techniques; however, green synthesis has taken on greater importance the non-generation of toxic residues. Green constructed from plant parts; new trend comprises use agri-food waste extracts, known sustainable synthesis. The reduces environmental pollution confers its added value. main generated is found agricultural crops industry fruits vegetables, cereal, bagasse industry, alcoholic beverages, oil cake among others. biomolecules extracts include phenolic compounds, alkaloids, terpenes, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, proteins, whose function reduce agents ion. Therefore, objective this review was promote for application agents.
