Abstract

Nanoparticles are minuscule particles that measure between 10-1000 nanometers in diameter, rendering them invisible to the naked eye. Various materials are utilized in producing nanoparticles, including proteins, polysaccharides, and human-made polymers. The selection of matrix materials relies on several factors such as the desired nanoparticle size, drug properties, surface traits, and antigenicity of the finished product, all of which play crucial roles in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Ongoing technological innovations are enabling the use of modernized techniques to create nanoparticles. The review provides an extensive exploration of these techniques, their biological and chemical properties, and therapeutic impact. The research examines the role of silver nanoparticles, which are commonly used in food packaging and preservation due to their antibacterial and anti-browning properties, and the potential applications of other metallic particles for similar purposes. Furthermore, silver nanoparticles' digestion and physiological benefits, such as their action on mucosa-associated lymphatic tissuesare addressed in detail. These nanoparticles are recommended for medicinal use due to their potential health benefits. Researchers have focused on metallic nanoparticles, particularly magnetic nanoparticles, for their ability to prevent microbial growth. Biopolymers are often utilized as carriers for various particles, and blending organic compounds with metallic Nano-compounds is a straightforward process.
