Why is it important?

• The peel extract of the pomegranate shows unique pharmaceutical properties such as antioxidant and antibacterial. • This extract synthesis high-qualified silver nanoparticles in an ultra-fast pace without any heating or additional accelerators.

Perspectives

The present study introduces black peel pomegranate as a worthy bio-agent in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with unique activities as well as a cancer treatment.
