Table 2 Color quantitative results of SS-capped AgNP suspension synthesized from SS and AgNO ₃ at pH 11

From: Green synthesis of silk sericin-capped silver nanoparticles and their potent anti-bacterial activity

Sample	L*	b*
5 mg/mL SS + 5 mM AgNO₃	17.7 ± 0.0	0.3 ± 0.0
10 mg/mL SS + 5 mM AgNO₃	17.7 ± 0.4	0.4 ± 0.1

L* indicates brightness ranging from black (L* = 0) to white (L* = 100). b* indicates blue-yellow color, value ranged from –60 (blue) to 60 (yellow).
