“…Determining the form, size, and crystal structures of carbon-based, inorganic, or complicated crystalline materials is a well established and widely used approach. High spatial resolution at the atomic scale is provided by X-ray diffractometers, although they are limited to crystalline materials and have lower intensities than electron diffraction [19,84,85]. The two patterns were exactly matched when we generated a ZnO-NP and compared the XRD pattern with the reference PDF card (01-070-2551) of zinc oxide (Figure 7).…”

“…The collected suspension is then placed in a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and kept there for 6 to 12 h at 120 • C. The resultant compound is cleaned with water and wood alcohol. The suspension is finally freeze-dried to obtain zinc oxide nanoparticle powder [19]. In some reports, ZnO-NPs with more uniform particle size and better dispersion could be obtained by ultrasonic-assisted methods [20].…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have gained significant interest in the agricultural and food industry as a means of killing or reducing the activity of microorganisms. The antibacterial properties of ZnO-NPs may improve food quality, which has a direct impact on human health. ZnO-NPs are one of the most investigated inorganic nanoparticles and have been used in various related sectors, with the potential to rapidly gain attention and increase interest in the agriculture and food industries. In this review, we describe various methods for preparing ZnO-NPs, their characterizations, modifications, applications, antimicrobial activity, testing procedures, and effects, including bactericidal and bacteriostatic mechanisms. It is hoped that this review could provide a better understanding of the preparation and application of ZnO nanoparticles in the field of food and agriculture, and promote their development to advance the field of food and agriculture.
