Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles has become a main branch of nanotechnology and there is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to their ample applications. Nanoparticles play a major role in the field of engineering and medicine. This study investigates an efficient and sustainable route of Silver nanoparticle preparation from aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) using fruit shell extract of Tamarindus indica well adorned for their wide availability and medicinal property. For the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the fruit shell extract of Tamarindus indica as a reducing agent from silver nitrate (AgNO3) has been investigated. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles mostly helps in enhancement of their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The synthesized tamarind silver nanoparticles have been characterized using Ultraviolet Visible Spectroscopy (UV–Vis Spec), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and synthesized Silver Nanoparticles showed an absorption peak at approximately 450 nm in the UV-visible spectrum. The morphological study of Silver nanoparticles using SEM suggests that the nanoparticles are spherical in shape with a diameter around 20 to 200-nm. This method is rapid, simple without any hazardous chemicals as reducing or stabilizing agents and economical to synthesized SNPs.
