Abstract :Nanoparticles are structures that are applicable to a wide range of fields. The most significant characteristic of these structures is their structural and dimensional diversity, which varies the synthesis process based on the area that will be incorporated into several sections. Although there are other synthetic techniques, the green synthetic technique is the most often used. By employing only natural processes instead of chemicals, this method synthesizes products leaving no by-products. The technique is also highly preferred as it is affordable. In this respect, the green synthesis approach was utilized in this study to investigate the synthesis characteristics, phytochemical content, and evaluate the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles from black pepper (Lavandula stoechas), which is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverages. Furthermore, theoretical investigation was conducted into the glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase inhibitory characteristics of the resveratrol molecule, which was identified as the main constituent based on the HPLC outcome. Characterization tools like FT-IR, UV-Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy were employed. The phytochemical content was examined by HPLC.
