Aegle marmelos phytochemical stabilized synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles and their role against agriculture and food pathogen

Abstract

Nature and nanotechnology have not yet achieved a lucid correlation in the field of science but together they have exhibited immense potential towards the advancement and modification in future science and technology. Due to the unique properties of nanomaterials like nanoparticles gained considerable importance. Among all the nanoparticles, zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) are greatly utilized in sensors, catalysis, bioscience, etc. Antimicrobial activity by ZnO NPs had more attention by the implementation of nanotechnology for the preparation of ZnO NPs. At present, antimicrobial activity of ZnO NPs using Aegle marmelos (A. marmelos) leaves extract was done. The ZnO NPs subjected to UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, SEM and TEM analysis. The presence of phenolic group in extract has the capacity to form ZnO NPs and act as stabilizing agent. Every 5 min interval ZnO NPs was formed which recorded by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The SEM analysis displayed a fine spherical ZnO NPs and EDAX report showed that the existence of zinc and oxygen in the ratio of 30.51% and 69.49%. The antimicrobial activity of ZnO NPs has high percentage inhibition against A. niger at 1000 ppm. Till now, no research carryout on A. marmelos mediated ZnO NPs and applications towards antimicrobial activity.

Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using orange fruit peel extract for antibacterial activities

“…ZnO-Ag nanocomposite was also synthesized using Thymus vulgaris leaf extract and showed antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogen, biocompatibility and solar photocatalysis. 14 G. Madhumitha et al 15 used Aegle marmelos leaf extract to synthesis ZnO NPs for antimicrobial activity against A. niger. Using Tecoma castanifolia leaf extract, 16 ZnO NPs were observed an excellent antibacterial and anticancer to lead its effective application in biomedical and nano-drug delivery systems.…”

Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles for antimicrobial and vegetative growth applications: A novel approach for advancing efficient high quality health care to human wellbeing

“…The chemical synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has been reported earlier ( Meruvu et al, 2011 ) but green synthesis using plants remains unexplored in nanotechnology. The plant extract-based synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has been reported such as Pelargonium zonale, Punica granatum, Aegle marmelos, Olea ferruginea and Berberis vulgaris ( Vahidi et al, 2019 , Karaköse et al, 2017 , Fowsiya et al, 2019 , Hussain et al, 2020 , Anzabi, 2018 ). ZnO nanoparticles have been reported with significant antimicrobial activity, possibly due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).…”

Physical Properties and Transmitted Sunlight of Polyvinyl Chloride/ZnO Nanocomposites Films

“…The peaks at 2139.89cm-1 were CO 2 levels. This is agreed upon by researchers[25,26]. A single bond connects a CH 2 group with a CHCl unit in each vinyl chloride monomer.…”
