In this study, we synthesized and bio-encapsulated a chitosan-silver nanocomplex (Ch-AgNPs), characterizing it by UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, EDX, SEM, XRD and Zeta potential analyses. The bio-encapsulated chitosan-Ag nanocomplex (BNC) was efficient as scavenger of free radicals (DPPH and ABTS), if c...
