Abstract:

In this paper present study gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesised using seed extract of Boswellia serrata aqueous seed extracted which is considered as waste material and generally thrown away into the environment. The bioactive molecules in the seed act as reducing agent to synthesise AuNPs without using any external agent. The characterisation of green synthesised gold nanoparticles was done using various spectroscopic techniques. Visual colour change from colour less to ruby red colour confirmed the formation of AuNPs which was further confirmed by optimal density peak at 537 nm by UV-spectra. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of alcohol, phenol, carboxylic acid, ketones, amines, aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, alkyl halides and alkynes in Boswellia serrata seed which were responsible for the reduction of gold to gold nanoparticles. The green synthesised gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were evaluated for their antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic potential. Seeds of boswellia serrata instead of discarding can be successfully utilised for AuNPs synthesis
