Abstract
Due to the environmental and economic advantages of synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) from plantextract has gained wide popularity in the recent time. The synthesis of NPS by plantextract is a ‘green’ technology as it avoids use of harmful chemicals and formation of toxicbyproducts. In this study, iron oxide NPsare synthesized by reducing ferrous sulfate in a aqueous solution by plant extract of Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graceum)plant extract (PE). Various conditions of NPs formation were tested to see maximum synthesisby varying parameters like Ferrous sulfate concentration, PE concentration, PE: ferrous sulfate ratio, and incubation temperature.
