JMS_V1_N4_RP6 Enhanced Antioxidant Activity Of Gold Nanoparticles Embeded Solanum Tuberosum Extract And HPTLC Quantification Roopa Rani Kiran Singh Manmohan Srivastava Journal on Material Science 2347–615X 1 4 27 31 Antioxidants, HPTLC, Gold nanoparticles, Solanum Tuberosum The facile synthesis of stable gold nano particles embeded solanum tuberosum (GNPST) is demonstrated using extract of Solanum Tuberosum. The best parameters for the synthesis were NaAuCl4 salt (0.1M, 2 μL) at room temperature. The results were verified using UV-Vis spectrometry, XRD, AFM and SEM. GNPST were monodispersed and of the size (40 ± 20nm). DPPH and Fenton bioassay indicated that GNPST exhibit 12% enhancement in antioxidant activity. HPTLC detection identified ascorbic acid as major antioxidant compound in the potato extract. January – March 2014 Copyright © 2014 i-manager publications.
