Developing a new method to produce antibacterial material using the green synthesis concept. In this current study, Ag nanoparticle was synthesized based on the green synthesis concept using extract and essential oil of Illicium verum Hook. F. The GC-MS spectrum showed the major components of the essential oil was anethol (96. 83%). The Ag nanoparticle of extract and essential oil was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TGA/DTA, TEM. The FTIR spectrum of AgNPsE a new spectrum e.i. at 750 cm-1. The crystallography of XRD AgNPsMA and AgNPsE powder analysis showed a peak at 2θ 37o (111), 44o (200), 64o (202), and 78o (311). Both Ag nanoparticles showed a potential antibacterial activity. © RASĀYAN. All rights reserved.
