ABSTRACT

Aim: To assess the antimicrobial property, synthesis and characterization of Silver nano particles usingherbal formulations of lycopene, raspberry and green tea. Materials and methods: the synthesis of nanoparticles was done using lycopene (25%), raspberry (10%) and green tea (95% polyphenols) and 0.016 gms of silver nano-particles, characterization was done using transmission electron microscope (Zeiss 120 TEM), anti-microbial test using disc diffusion method in the most common 4 oral commensals. Results: The present assay shows that the highest area of inhibition is seen in C.albicans and the lowest inhibition seen in Staphylococcus aureus incomparison with the standard antibiotics seen, the shape of the nano particle obtained was spherical. Conclusion: From the above results it can be concluded that the combination of silver nano particles infused media has a better anti-microbial property, especially as an antifungal. Keywords: Lycopene, nanoparticle, antimicrobial
