Abstract: In the present study we explore the reducing and capping potential of aqueous extract from Aloe vera
for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The extract with different concentration reduced with HAuCl 4 aqueous
solution at room temperature. The color change, pH change and UV-visible spectroscopic analysis reveal the
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) of the final reaction product which confirms the reduction of Au 3+ ion to gold
nanoparticles. XRD, particle size analysis results represent strong reducing potential of Aloe vera aqueous
extract which can also be tested in the green synthesis of other metallic nanoparticles.

UV-Vis Spectroscopic Analysis of Au Nanoparticles:
The appearance of violet color evident that the formation
gold nanoparticles in the reaction mixture and the efficient
reduction of the Au3+ to Au0 (Fig.2B), the formed color
solution allowed to measure the absorbance against
distinct wave length to conform the formation of gold
nanoparticles. The corresponding UV-vis absorption
spectra are shown in Fig. 2A. The change in pH of
aqueous gold solution 2.95 and Aloe vera extract 4.86 to
3.06 of Aloe vera gold nanoparticles solution in 24hour.
In the present work, AuNPs synthesis with three different
concentration of Aloe vera extract with fixed
concentration of gold solution as ratio 1; 1, 5; 1, 10; 1.
UV-vis scanning of reaction product showed SPR
absorption band and peaks (Fig. 2a). Reaction mixture
with 1;1 ratio, in which reduction of Au3+ ions just to
occurred and SPR band intensities was less and peak is
broad which suggest partial reduction of Au 3+ ion and

Particle Size Analysis: Laser diffraction particle size
analyzer provides the detail about the particle nature,
such as monodispersed, didispersed and polydispersed.
Our investigation revealed that nanoparticles show
polydispersity at 0.419 indexing and various sizes of
nanoparticles ranging with effective diameter around 441.4
nanometer, lognormal summary given below in Figure 4
