| Abstract | Synthesis of nanomaterials through eco-friendly (green) approaches has attracted much attention due to the widespread biomedical application and environmental issues. The present study describes the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using rhizome suspension of ginger (Zingiber officinale). The formation of GNPs was visually observed in a sample by color change from colorless to purple; further, the green synthesis process was optimized for improved production of GNPs with the suspension to chloroauric acid ratio (1:10). The synthesized GNPs were characterized by FESEM, EDX, and TEM. Ginger-based GNP synthesis gave particles of >20 nm in size. The GNPs were largely found to be spherical in shape and stable at room temperature. A live/dead cell viability assay conducted on lung epithelial cells revealed the safe nature of GNP materials up to 25 μg/ml. These results were correlated by MTT assay. It is also observed that there was no significant elevation in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in GNP-treated lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Biocompatibility studies of GNPs also revealed the negligible cytotoxicity and validate the safe nature, and no induction of oxidative stress. Collectively, these observations suggest the involvement of phytochemicals from the ginger. Future manipulation of these GNPs offers commercial benefits, particularly for biomedical applications like diagnostics and therapeutics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
