NanoFresh M+ Shoe Spray: Advanced Silver Nanoparticle Formula

  • 1. Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Perlis Branch, Arau Campus

Description

Abstract: Smelly shoes are a widespread issue, and the reason for this is that each foot contains 125,000 sweat glands. The warm environment of a sweaty shoe encourages the growth of odor-causing bacteria. It will be more difficult for someone who suffers from bromodosis, which is a medical word for stinky feet. A smelly shoe problem can be solved by cleaning the feet on a regular basis, as well as washing fabric or canvas shoes. Yet, the strategy is impractical. The active element in NanoFresh M+, a novel shoe spray, is green synthetic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from senduduk (Melastoma malabathricum) methanolic leaves extract. AgNPs have gotten a lot of interest because of their unique features that can be used in antibacterial applications and products. The green synthesis of AgNPs using senduduk leaves extract has been described as a nontoxic, environmental-friendly, and cost-effective method. It is suggested that the synthesized AgNPs possess antibacterial properties, as they contain a range of bioactive components and demonstrate various bioactivities. Overall, NanoFresh M+ is an excellent shoe spray due to its antimicrobial qualities, which can eliminate bacteria while also removing unpleasant odors from footwear.
