Description
Silver particles far too small to see can kill germs, which makes them useful for food safety. Pei-Jun Li and co-authors made such particles with pectin, a plant gel, in a 2024 study. They used two forms of pectin, one plain and one treated to add nitrogen groups. Three treated forms were made with rising doses of the treatment.
Under a strong microscope, the particles from both forms were about twelve to thirteen units wide on average. The best treated form held more silver and killed two common germs far better than the plain form. Its lowest dose that stopped growth was sixteen times lower. Treated germs leaked protein and sugar and showed more signs of stress. The results point to better germ control for food uses.
