This study presents an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Balanites aegyptiaca (Heglig) seed oil and aqueous extract as dual reducing and stabilizing agents. The objective of this research was to synthesize AgNPs using B. aegyptiaca extracts and evaluate their physicochemical properties and antibacterial efficacy. AgNPs were successfully synthesized by reducing silver ions from an aqueous silver nitrate solution with the B. aegyptiaca seed oil and aqueous extract. The formation and characteristics of the biosynthesized AgNPs were rigorously confirmed using UV-Vis, FTIR, and SEM. UV-Vis analysis revealed a strong surface Plasmon resonance peak at 430 nm, indicating stable AgNPs formation. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the role of bioactive compounds from the plant extracts in both reduction and capping, with characteristic shifts in absorption bands. SEM images showed the AgNPs to be spherical and irregular in shape, with some agglomeration. Furthermore, the biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited potent antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial strains, with notably higher efficacy against E. coli. This research highlights the viability of Balanites aegyptiaca as a sustainable and cost-effective platform for nanoparticle synthesis, offering significant potential for various biomedical applications, particularly in the development of novel antimicrobial agents.
