ABSTRACT
Recent developments show the high potential of microorganisms and biological products for designing nanometals. Plant extracts including enzymes, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, and organic acids have been reported to provide environmentally sociable protocols in material synthesis. Flavonoids act as natural reducing and capping agent and therefore have emerged as the promising candidate in the field of nanobiotechnology. The present study reports the efficiency of flavonoids including hesperidin, naringin diosmin, hesperetin, rutin, narengenin, quercetin for nanometals synthesis. Metals including gold, silver, copper, and palladium have been successfully transformed into nanostructures and well-characterized. The antimicrobial and antioxidant property of flavonoid conjugated nanostructure displays the versatility of fields applicable.
