Embelia ribes is commonly known as Vidanga or false black pepper and is found abundantly in Southern parts of India, China and is widely distributed over Asia. It is shown to have a wide array of medicinal properties, which has led to its increased research in the field of medicine.Embelia ribes mediated silver nanoparticles have been used in this study as Silver nanoparticles are proven to have significant antioxidant and pharmaceutical properties due to presence of Embelin. Antioxidants protects the cells from free radicals and prevents or cures the disease faster.
For the given study, we focus toassess the antioxidant activity of Embelia ribes mediated silver nanoparticles using different assay.
This studyincludes preparation of Embelia ribes seed extract followed by synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The above were tested for antioxidant activity using DPPH assay, FRAP assay and H202 assay.
This study demonstrated that the antioxidant activity of Embelia ribes mediated silver nanoparticles increased with increase in concentration, hence proven to be a good antioxidant.
Embelia ribes mediated silver nanoparticles exhibit strong antioxidant activity. The current study emphasizes the fact that herbal plants are assured and reliable potent antioxidants and can be researched to be used as therapeutic agent.
