Abstract: There is a strong interest in using green resources for synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) of industrial and biomedical utility in a way to maintain desired material properties throughout use while not inducing any harmful effects. The use of various plant extracts as reducing, capping, or stabilizing agents is widely attempted in green nanotechnology. However, very little has been explored about incorporating plant extract blends into green NP synthesis routes. Here, we used the combination of tea and olive leaf extracts for the synthesis of silver NPs and evaluated the advantages it provided over both chemical and single-plant-mediated synthesis routes. Four different reducing agents (tannic acid, black tea leaves extract, olive leaves extract and their blend) were used to synthesize silver NPs (Ag NP) from silver nitrate (AgNO3). The synthesized Ag NP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and ultraviolet-visible (US-Vis) spectroscopy. The antimicrobial properties of Ag NP were assessed against Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus) using the colony-forming unit (CFU) assay and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. The cytotoxic potential of Ag NP on human colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells was assessed by the WST-1 assay. Results showed that Ag NP synthesized using plant extract mixtures had a primary particle size of 40nm and were very effective antibacterial agents, with the MIC values ranging from 5 mu g/mL to 10 mu g/mL. While the particle size obtained in chemical synthesis was slightly lower, the resultant Ag NP did not serve as an effective antibacterial agents at low doses. Further understanding of how best to integrate extracts of different plants into green NP synthesis routes will enable wider and safer biomedical applications.
