: Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished using different volumes of cauliflower extract and
0.001?M silver nitrate solution at 80°C for 15 min. A brownish-red solution of AgNPs formed was tested by ultraviolet–visible
absorption spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
Surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs appeared at 416 nm. Also, the kinetic of AgNPs formation was studied and follows a
sigmoidal pattern. Storing time was studied for the freshly prepared AgNPs after 60 days. FTIR analysis shows the adsorption of
active components on AgNPs surface, and these components are responsible for reduction besides working as a stabiliser like
a capping agent, also FTIR analysis of AgNPs after storage showed no change in peaks location. The SEM exhibited a globular
shape of AgNPs, and the particle size ranged from 25 to 100 nm, while the XRD particle size calculation was 25 nm with cubic
phase lattice.The antibacterial activity was tested against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria showed an inhibition zone of
16–27?mm and the antibacterial activity tested for the same bacteria after storage for about 10 months showed an inhibition
zone of 6–10?mm
