Journal Article
Use of biogenic silver nanoparticles in enhancing shelf life of Morus alba L. at post harvest stage
2020
Overview
Morus alba
is one of the most important cultivated crop in Indian sub-continent contributing towards production of silk fibre that carries economic importance worldwide. Post harvest preservation of
M. alba
leaves is a challenging factor as decrease in concentration of essential metabolites that needed for silk gland development takes place. Decrease in chlorophyll, protein, sugar concentration and increase in accumulation of free radicals and ROS takes place at post harvest stage of preservation, putting negative impact on larval development indicated by high mortality rate. Silver nitrate and nanosilver solution acts as an effective preservative, enhances the activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants thereby reducing the harmful effect of accumulated free radicals and ROS. The effectiveness of nanosilver solution was found to be on the upper site without any significant difference than silver nitrate, as higher retention of primary metabolites like pigments, proteins, and sugar takes place. The impact of feeding nanosilver preserved leaves on silkworm was found on the positive trend as larval growth rate, cocoon weight, shell weight, effective rate of rearing was observed almost same to the larvae fed with fresh leaves.
