“…Plant extracts are known to be rich in polyphenolic compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids, limonoids or anthocianines, for example. These polyphenolic moieties confer them the ability to act as reducing agents of metal salts, following a reaction like that described by Nava et al (2017b) for Zn(NO 3 ) 2 (see Fig. 6).…”

Summary As the availability of fossil‐based resources declines, there is an impending necessity of finding alternative feedstock able to secure the production of fuels and chemicals. Exploitation of biomass as renewable source of chemicals is an attractive possibility, in particular the one derived from food waste (FW). Every year, large amounts of waste are generated within or at the end of the food supply chain at the consumers use stage and hence its valorisation attracts great attention. FW has proven a valuable feedstock for its exploitation to produce a wide array of intermediates and products with promising applications in industry, owing to their similar performance with respect to established products. These include organic acids and furans (generally used as platform chemicals to further products); polymers like bacterial cellulose, polyhydroxyalkanoates or chitin; biosurfactants; biolubricants; or nanoparticles. This overview covers the latest trends in chemical, enzymatic and biotechnological processes reported in literature on the production of these chemicals and materials, with a focus on the use of FW as raw material.

“…In recent years, Zinc oxide nanoparticles are accepted as practically favorable and adaptable inert stuff with a wide dimension and also it demonstrates a wurtzite structure 12 . ZnO NPs are semiconductor matter with large strapping space of ~3.37 eV and high obligatory power of 60 meV which displays multiple semiconductor assets and piezoelectric reflex 13 . The collection of blending approach of Zinc oxide has diverse morphology includes nanowires, nanosheets and nanocrystals 14 , nanocombs, nanorings, nanohelixes, nanobelts and nanocages 15 .…”

Biosynthesis of nanoparticles by biological means especially plant extract plays a major role in the field of nanotechnology. In the present study, the aqueous extract of lemon peel (Citrus limon) was used for the green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using 0.1 M Zn(NO 3 ) 2 as a precursor in alkaline condition using NaOH with vigorous stirring for 3 h. ZnO NPs obtained were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy in which the surface Plasmon resonance was 310 nm, followed by XRD, FTIR that showed appropriate speaks for various chemical groups present including ZnO NPs and AFM results shows monodispersed in nature. Further, the antibacterial property of ZnO NPs synthesized by the green method was revalued by the well diffusion method. The zone of inhibition was found to be 9 mm for 100 µL and 7 mm for 100 µL for respective strains Klebsiella aerogene and Serratia marcescen. Significant antioxidant activity was exhibited by NPs through scavenging of 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals. Thus, the use of aqueous peel extract as a capping agent would improve the antibacterial property of ZnO nanoparticle and can be developed as antibacterial agents against a wide range of microorganisms to control and prevent the spreading and persistence of bacterial infections. Followed by Edax and Zeta was also included.
