Exploring the Medicinal Potential of Gishta (Graviola): Identification of Bioactive Metabolites and Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis through Advanced Analytical Techniques

Abstract

Plants are known for their medicinal value. Many dreadful ailments are being treated by plant extracts. So many plants were proven medicinal, but still many plants have to be proved. Gishta, a typical variety of Graviola species has been found with an antimicrobial nature. The present study mainly aims at identifying secondary metabolites of chloroform and methanol extracts of Gishta, which are thought to be responsible for medicinal properties by preliminary and GC-MS and preparing and characterizing the silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) of Gishta (Graviola) seeds extracts using the relevant and pertinent analytical techniques viz., Uv-Vis spectral analysis and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) techniques.
