“…Both S. aureus and S. pneumoniae showed MIC values of 76-100 mg/mL. Additionally, the biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs using S. aromaticum extracts in water and ethanol resulted in the inhibition of K. pneumonia, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli [95]. The study also demonstrated the formation of an inhibition zone against B. subtills, S. aureus, K. pneumonia, and E. coli at a concentration of 100 μg/mL of ZnO-NPs synthesized using Brassica oleracea var.…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been extensively researched for their potential applications in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, sensing, photocatalysis, and photovoltaics due to their unique nanoscale properties. However, the conventional methods for producing ZnO NPs require the use of hazardous chemicals and high energy consumption, which imposes certain limitations. In contrast, the green synthesis of ZnO-NPs using plant extracts, especially Origanum majorana, has gained much attention as a promising alternative approach. Plant extracts contain phytochemicals that are biologically safe and non-toxic, making them a preferred choice. In addition, the ZnO-NPs synthesized with O. majorana extracts exhibit higher stability and can be customized in terms of shape and size, unlike the ZnO-NPs obtained by bacterial or fungal methods. The aqueous leaf extract of O. majorana contains flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic derivatives, which serve as reducing and capping agents for the biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs. These extracts also contain functional groups such as -OH and -C=O, which further enhance the physicochemical properties of the resulting ZnO-NPs and influence their ability to target specific molecules. The plant-mediated synthesis of ZnO-NPs using O. majorana leaf extract is not only fast and straightforward but also offers a wide range of functionalized nanoparticles with specific morphologies and sizes. These ZnO-NPs prepared with O. majorana have been shown to have potential applications in various fields, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. This review focuses specifically on the antimicrobial applications of ZnO-NPs synthesized using O. majorana leaf extract.

Medicinal or herbal spices are grown in tropical moist evergreen forestland, surrounding most of the tropical and subtropical regions of Eastern Himalayas in India (Sikkim, Darjeeling regions), Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, a few Central Asian countries, Middle East, USA, Europe, South East Asia, Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. According to the cultivation region surrounded, economic value, and vogue, these spices can be classified into major, minor, and colored tropical spices. In total, 24 tropical spices and herbs (cardamom, black jeera, fennel, poppy, coriander, fenugreek, bay leaves, clove, chili, cassia bark, black pepper, nutmeg, black mustard, turmeric, saffron, star anise, onion, dill, asafoetida, celery, allspice, kokum, greater galangal, and sweet flag) are described in this review. These spices show many pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, and antioxidant activities. Numerous bioactive compounds are present in these selected spices, such as 1,8-cineole, monoterpene hydrocarbons, γ-terpinene, cuminaldehyde, trans-anethole, fenchone, estragole, benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, piperine, linalool, malabaricone C, safrole, myristicin, elemicin, sinigrin, curcumin, bidemethoxycurcumin, dimethoxycurcumin, crocin, picrocrocin, quercetin, quercetin 4’-O-β-glucoside, apiol, carvone, limonene, α-phellandrene, galactomannan, rosmarinic acid, limonene, capsaicinoids, eugenol, garcinol, and α-asarone. Other than that, various spices are used to synthesize different types of metal-based and polymer-based nanoparticles like zinc oxide, gold, silver, selenium, silica, and chitosan nanoparticles which provide beneficial health effects such as antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, enzyme retardation effect, and antimicrobial activity. The nanoparticles can also be used in environmental pollution management like dye decolorization and in chemical industries to enhance the rate of reaction by the use of catalytic activity of the nanoparticles. The nutritional value, phytochemical properties, health advantages, and both traditional and modern applications of these spices, along with their functions in food fortification, have been thoroughly discussed in this review
