Abstract

Introduction: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely recommended as a substitute for antibiotics because the antibiotics are becoming ineffective and the dosages are increasing day by day.
Materials and methods: A nanoparticle formulation was prepared by adding 100 ml of water and 0.32 g of silver nitrate and then heating the mixture. Then, 10 ml of whey protein was slowly drizzled into this concoction and obtained a red hue.
Results: The particle formation was seen using UV spectroscopy. SEM analysis visualised the formation of the nanoparticles and they were formed to be a uniform size. MTT assay confirmed the viability of the cells. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of AgNPs were confirmed.
Conclusion: Silver nanoparticles synthesized from whey protein are stable and consistent in size.
