Nanoparticles are used in various fields of science and has potential applications which is classified based on its morphology and size. Origanum majorana is a herb whose tender and mature leaves have been used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. A battery of phytochemical assays were performed to understand the secondary metabolites present in them. The antioxidant potential and haemolytic properties were determined. The particles were subjected to UV visible spectroscopy and SEM techniques to understand the morphology, size and characters of the particle. It was observed that both mature and tender nanoparticle leaf extracts did not show significant differences thought their antioxidant profiles were slightly different; however, the functional groups proved to the same.
