R&D activities at NT Hyderabad Bacterial Cellulose Silver Nano-composites for Food Packaging and Healthcare

摘要

AgNps colloid has achieved only 90% antimicrobial activity whereas AgBC composite with equivalent amount of silver (<2% w/w) incorporated achieved 99.9% broad spectrum anti-microbial activity on rotten tomatoes derived microbes and sustained for 72h Less toxicity and cost effective Equally effective on food spoilage as well as nosocomial infection causing microbes
