The study focuses on the innovative synthesis and evaluation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from the hydroalcoholic extract of Passiflora edulis Sims seeds. Using cold maceration and HPLC-MS for chemical profiling, the research identified Genisteins as the primary constituent. AgNPs were synthesized through Ag+ reduction and characterized via UV-Vis spectrophotometry and DLS. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the ABTS method, revealing a notable CI50 of 9.23 mg L-1 at pH 4, highlighting the effectiveness of these nanoparticles and the influence of pH on their properties.
