The current work describes the preparation of silver nanoparticles loaded with tapioca starch nanofibers using the electrospinning method. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was successfully carried out by the aqueous pulp extract of Limonia acidissima (wood apple) with sunlight acting as the catalyst. The resulting silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction study (PXRD), energy-dispersive analysis (EDAX), particle size, and zeta potential analysis using the disc diffusion technique, and the antibacterial activity of the produced nanofibers was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens.
