Silver nanoparticles colloidal solutions (AgNPs) was prepared by using Citrullus Colocynthis (C.Colocynthis) as reducing and stabilizing agent. Characterizations of the prepared solutions were carried out by ultraviolet- visible (UV- Vis) spectra for estimation peaks of AgNPs. These peaks appeared at 420. Transmutation Electron Microscopes (TEM) for determination of size, shape and size distribution of AgNPs were investigated. It is observed that the average of size nanoparticles is use in between 2.04 - 12.64. Wool and viscose fabrics was treated with the prepared AgNPs colloidal solution by padding method to accept them antimicrobial properties. The changes in yellowness, tensile strength, elongation at break and moisture regain have been studied .The treated fabrics were evaluated via monitoring morphological changes of the fibers using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) . The phenolic compounds in fruit were also qualitative and quantitative determined using HPLC.
