Nanoparticles are being considered as elemental building blocks of nanotechnology. The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the aqueous root extract of Anacardium occidentale by bio-reduction of Auric chloride solution was investigated in the current study. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope. In UV, the absorbance peak was observed at 531nm, FTIR spectrum shows the wavelength range from 464.27 cm-1 to 3364.51cm-1 and SEM image showed that gold nanoparticles are in spherical shape. Then, the biosynthesized gold nanoparticles examined for the antidiabetic and antioxidant activities and the result outcome with better percentage of potential.
