Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle from pasteurized milk and their effects on raw milk to control spoilage
Controlling bacterial growth in fluid milk is of economic interest, and supplemental methods to stop or reduce bacterial growth before and during the cooling chain may be valuable. Silver is effective in controlling growth of single-celled organisms, but has no effect on tissue cells. Smaller diameter (6-8 nm) silver nanoparticles were produced, with purity (no chemical reaction used in the process), It’s purely biosynthesis. Using pasteurized toned milk with added concentration of silver nitrate and kept for incubation overnight. The color of milk has been changed from white to dark red indicate that the nanoparticles has been synthesized. The first trial investigated effects of time, and temperature, on total aerobic bacteria count in control milk and milk treated with silver nanoparticles. The AgNP particles were effective at all treatment temperatures and durations except for 10h, which indicated that the treated milk could be used after 10h for other dairy products such as yogurt, which require microbial activity. Small-diameter, silver nanoparticle can stop or reduce bacterial growth in fluid milk. Silver nanoparticles inhibited microbial growth and may be useful in complementing the cooling chain and the thermal processes. These results warrant more research on the sensory properties and long-term safety of the use of silver nanoparticles in dairy products. Recent rodent studies have shown that nanoparticles are distributed to breast milk, Here, used mice to investigate the safety of nanoparticle use during lactation. When Ag and Au nanoparticles were intravenously administered to lactating mice, the nanoparticles were distributed to breast milk without producing apparent damage to the mammary gland, and the amount of Ag nanoparticles distributed to breast milk increased with decreasing particle size. Orally administered Ag nanoparticles were also distributed to breast milk and subsequently to the brains of breast-fed pups. Ten-nanometer Ag nanoparticles were retained longer in the pups' brains than in their livers and lungs. Nevertheless, no significant behavioral changes were observed in offspring breast-fed by dams that had received orally administered 10 nm Ag nanoparticles. These data provide basic information for evaluating the safety of nanoparticle use during lactation.
