Optimization: Using Minitab software version 17, CCD has been utilized to obtain the best SPR band in peak intensity at 420 nm and used as the response in the design. The design was done based on five levels for each noted parameter in a single-block mode and obtained 32 analysis runs in a random order to minimize the effect of uncontrolled variables on the quality of the AgNP’s SPR. The five parameters set as independent variables were: pH, temperature, time, the volume of extract, and the volume of AgNO3 solution that greatly affect the dependent variable which was the SPR at 420nm. UV-Vis: The spectra for the peak intensity of SPR were obtained using Shimadzu UV-Visible spectrophotometer UV-2600. Settings were set to 2 nm slit width, medium scan speed, and wavelength range of 250-750nm. Baseline correction using deionized water was employed before running the samples.
