Degradation of Methyl Parathion, a common pesticide and fluorescence quenching of Rhodamine B, a carcinogen using β-d glucan stabilized gold nanoparticles

Natural carbohydrate polymer β-d-glucan extracted from Tricholoma crassum (Berk.) Sacc. predominantly linked by β-glycosidic bonds have been used to synthesize gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). As glucan is water soluble, the Au NPs are prepared in water medium, a green solvent. The morphology and charac...
