چکیده

Nanotechnology is the field that encompasses the design, improvement, and execution of components with dimensions ranging from 10 to 100 nanometers. This study demonstrates that green production of nanoparticles (NPs) is aviable alternative to physical and chemical processes. Biotechnologically produced NPs have been increasingly preferred over different methods or means Nanoparticles synthesised using physico-chemical methods face numerous obstacles, such as the utilisation of toxic materials and the generation of hazardous by-products. The utilisation of plant extracts for metal salt creation clearly illustrates that the plant-based (green) synthesis of nanoparticles is not a detrimental method. Green synthesis denotes the process of generating nanoparticles by the use of natural resources, including plant extracts and microorganisms, employing energy-efficient procedures that are cost-effective, non-toxic, and environmentally sustainable. Gold (Au) is deemed suitable for the creation of stable nanoparticles. The physical properties of inorganic nanoparticles are largely dictated by their size and shape. Owing to their distinctive optical and physical properties, goldnanoparticles (AuNPs) have extensive uses in several disciplines. Eruca sativa Mil. (E. sativa), commonly referred to as 'Arugula is', often known as 'a rocket flowers', is a healthy salad green from the Brassicaceae genus. The plant has been documented to exhibit several advantageous therapeutic characteristics, such as antibacterial, anti-oxidants, antiacne, anti-diabetic, antigenotoxic, cancer prevention, analgesics antihyperlipidemic, antihyperglycemic, anti-hyperuricemic, and anti-inflammatory activity. So, This Review deals with AuNPs preparation through green methods using plant extract (Eruca Sativa), as well as there characterization with different analytical methods.
