FE-TEM imaging shows that the particles are spherical in shape.

Notes: (A) GBAuNPs with sizes between 5 and 10 nm and (B) GBAgNPs with sizes between 10 and 20 nm. EDX spectrum of (C) GBAuNPs confirmed the presence of characteristic peak of metallic gold at 2.2 keV and (D) GBAgNPs characteristic peak of silver at 3.3 keV. Elemental mapping analysis of (E) GBAuNPs and (F) GBAuNPs showed maximum distribution of gold (green) and silver (red) elements in the corresponding nanoparticles.

Abbreviations: EDX, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer; FE-TEM, field-emission transmission electron microscopy; GBAgNPs, silver nanoparticles from ginseng berry; GBAuNPs, gold nanoparticles from ginseng berry.
