3.1 Total polyphenol content, total aldehyde content,and antioxidant activityThe bioreduction of metal ions is mainly dependent on thepresence of biomolecules in the extracts and it is necessaryto investigate the correlation between antioxidant activity and other biomolecules present in the extracts. It has been reportedthat the antioxidant property of the extracts is directly proportional to the phenolic components, which is synthesized bysecondary plant metabolites involving both biotic and abioticstresses [24, 32]. The total phenolic content of Cinnamonzeylanicum bark extract for different solvents was estimatedusing standard Folin-Ciocalteu’s colorimetric method and thevalues are expressed in milligrams per milliliter of TAE. Theresults showed a significant variation of TAE values (Fig. 2a)and follow the trend ethanol < aqueous < DMSO extracts.The high concentration of cinnamaldehyde in theCinnamon zeylanicum bark extract may be responsible forthe high-antioxidant activity in the extracts. The total aldehydecontent followed the trend as similar to the antioxidant activityethanol > aqueous > DMSO (Fig. 2b). The correlation coefficient between antioxidant activity and aldehyde content washigh at R2 = 0.9926 (Fig. 3b). According to previous reports,the antioxidant activity and reducing power of the Cinnamonzeylanicum bark extracts are highly correlated with each other[26, 33]. Therefore, the total aldehyde content is responsiblefor the reducing potential of the extract to achieve AgNPs. Thegrowth of the nanoparticles in different solvent extracts wasobserved in further experiments by monitoring the shape, size,and morphology of the nanoparticles. The antioxidant activityof the extracts in different solvents was determined usingphosphomolybdenum reduction assay and results were calculated in percentage (Fig. 2c). The relationship betweenthe total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in different solvent extracts was investigated and shown in Fig. 3a.There was no strong correlation observed in between totalphenolic content and antioxidant activity of the extracts whichcontradicts the previous reports based on other plant extracts[24, 32]. A plausible reason could be due to the presence ofother biomolecules in the Cinnamon zeylanicum bark extract,which may have increased the antioxidant activity as compared to the polyphenol content.
