Abstract

Nanomaterials have vibrant properties and it has been used for varied applications in worldwide. Nowadays, humans have started loving nature which provides health benefits without side effects. This study contributes to a survey of naturally derived nanoparticles which are beneficial to various applications. Moringaceae is the family name of Moringa pterygasperma lam and it is the superfluous name for Moringa oleifera. Moringa pterygasperma lam is a naturally available plant resource that has anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and photocatalytic properties. The extracts of seeds, gum, leaves, drumsticks, and roots, are used to prepare nanoparticles by green method that can be used in food packing, medical and environmental applications. The extracts of the plant parts were used as a reducing agent to synthesize nanoparticles from metal ions to metal. Also, it is used as a stabilizing and capping agent during their synthesis. The formation of metal nanoparticles was confirmed by the result of UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed less than 100 nm in size.
