Green Nanotechnology for Mango Preservation: Antioxidant and Antifungal Properties of Biowaste-Synthesized Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used as a promising antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic agents.In this review, we focused on recent developments in synthesis, characterization, properties, and bio-applications of AgNPs in a single platform mainly on the antimicrobial, preservation, enhancing the shelf life of mango and antioxidant properties of T.orientalis (Cedar) leaf extract.The characterization of the synthesized AgNP was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The SEM results indicating particle sizes between 20 to 50 nm reveal a nanostructured material with potential applications in fields requiring precise control over particle dimensions.The antifungal activity of the nanoparticle was evaluated using the agar well diffusion method, and the anti-fungal activity was evaluated against Aspergillus tubingensis and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis.The in vitro antifungal activities of the biosynthesized NPs against pathogenic microorganisms, including pathogenic ones resistant to conventional antibiotics, highlight the superior antibacterial properties of the synthesis of silver nanomaterials.This review also emphasizes the increasing the shelf life of Mangoes using Silver nanoparticles.
