Abstract
The invention provides stabilized, biocompatible gold nanoparticles that are stabilized with material from soy or lentil plant material or a reactive extract thereof of the plant material. The gold nanoparticles of the invention can be fabricated with an environmentally friendly method for making biocompatible stabilized gold nanoparticles. In methods of the invention, an aqueous solution containing gold salts is mixed with soy or lentil plant material or a reactive extract thereof. In preferred embodiment methods of making, an aqueous solution containing gold salts is provided. The aqueous solution is mixed with soy or lentil plant material or a reactive extract thereof. The gold salts react to form biocompatible gold nanoparticles that are stabilized with a robust coating derived of the soy or lentil plant material or a reactive extract thereof.
