Green synthesis and UV–Vis characterization of MAgNPs. (A) Color change observed before and after MAgNPs synthesis. (B) The spectroscopic analysis of the MAgNPs synthesized for different periods and at different temperatures. Noted a SPR peak at 440 nm of the samples that were kept at 95 °C for 30 min, which is indicative of the presence of silver nanoparticles. There was no further change in peak height at 45 or 60 min.
