MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641072868 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on June 12, 2026, for Licorice Mediated Cerium Nanoparticles.
Inventors include Zabreen Hasankhan; Arvina Rajasekar; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The invention discloses a green, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeOz NPs) using licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root extract as a reducing and stabilising agent The phytochemical present in licorice, including flavonoids, saponins, and glycyrrhizin, facilitate the reduction of cerium salts into stable nanoparticles, The synthesised nanoparticles are characterised using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The resulting CeOz nanoparticles exhibit enhanced stability, and potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. This green synthesis approach eliminates the need for toxic chemicals, making it suitable for biomedical, dental, and pharmaceutical applications.
