Abstract
Background & objectives: F. vulgare fennel seeds are rich in various secondary (phytochemical) plant metabolites such as polyphenolic acids, flavonoids and saponins.
Materials & methods: After extracting fennel seeds using a balloon shuffle, the resulting extract containing anethole was filtered. In a round bottom flask, 0.5 g of gold salt was added to 250 ml of deionized water at boiling point.
Results: Black precipitate was obtained from ruby nanoparticle solution. SEM, TEM and nanoparticle sizes less than 20 nm were obtained. FTIR proved the presence of metal particles. The scattering of gold nanoparticles using map analysis of the constituent elements using EDX was appropriately confirmed.
Conclusion: The results of FTIR, SEM, TEM, EDX and map analysis confirmation tests confirm the size and shape of nanoparticles synthesized in this study. By examining its effect on cancer cells, we can also evaluate their quality and mortality.
