“…For the spread plate technique, Triptic Soy Agar (TSA) was poured into petri dishes, and after the solidi cation, 0.1 mL of activated bacterial cultures were spread on the surface of TSA homogenously. The 10 mm well diameters were formed, and wells were lled with 100 µL of three concentrations of synthesized ZnO-NPs, M-ZnO-NPs, or B-ZnO-NPs (0.01, 0.02, 0.04 g/mL) solved in DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) (10%) (Lal et al 2022). The DMSO and antibiotic (Amoxicillin, 50 µg) were employed as a negative control (NC) and a positive control (PC), respectively.…”

“…Due to its low cost, non-toxicity at low concentrations, chemical stability, and capacity to modify its optical and electrical properties, it has a wide range of uses in elds such as environmental applications, chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, and electronics (Jayappa et al 2020). ZnO-NPs distinguish out among metallic nanoparticles due to their biocompatible structure, possible antimicrobial effects, and optical, electrical, and photocatalytic qualities (Arumugam et al 2021;Lal et al 2022). This highlights the application of ZnO-NPs in various domains, including in solar cells, photocatalysis, and chemical sensors (Lakshmipriya and Gopinath 2021).…”

“…By hydrolysis process, the hydroxyl group present in the polyphenols might turn into zinc hydroxide (Basnet et (Singh et al 2022). Studies have also shown that ZnO-NPs made using green synthesis have a potent bactericidal effect on a variety of microorganisms (Aldeen et al 2022;Lal et al 2022). The primary mechanism at play in this case is that the antibacterial effect is caused by a contact between the receptors on the microorganism's cell wall and the surface of the nanoparticles created through green synthesis.…”

In this study, plant extracts were used as stabilizing agents to synthesize ZnO-NPs with a green chemistry approach. The plant extracts were obtained from the aromatic plants of mint and basil leaves. The physical properties of the produced nanoparticles were investigated using XRD, SEM and FTIR. The shape of ZnO-NPs was triangular, as revealed by SEM analysis. The effects of biologically synthesized ZnO-NPs on plants when they reach the soil were investigated on the growth of wheat. In addition, antibacterial potential of ZnO-NPs on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was investigated. Results showed that S. aureus was more sensitive to all three types of ZnO-NPs than E. coli. Synthesized ZnO-NPs were also given as foliar treatment in order to determine Zn+ 2 uptake by plants and potential toxic effects on the growth of wheat. M-ZnO-NPs and B-ZnO-NPs improved the germination percentage of wheat at 400 mg/L concentration (100%), while raw ZnO-NPs showed 90% germination at the same concentration. It was also revealed that plant growth varies depending on the species and concentrations of ZnO-NPs, therefore, if foliar treatments are applied to wheat, the threshold concentrations, sizes and species of ZnO-NPs should be carefully evaluated.

“…bimetallic ZC NPs also showed enhanced anti-DPPH free radical scavenging activity than monometallic CuO and ZnO NPs, which were reported in previous works. 36,73 These may be due to the occurrence of free charge transferring from the containing CuO and ZnO NPs to the DPPH radical. 74 Therefore, the biosynthesized ZC NPs from the A. abyssinica extract can be a promising antioxidant drug in oxidative stress emerging ailments.…”

Currently, plant extract-mediated synthesized metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs) have played a substantial role in biological applications. Hence, this study focused on the eco-benign one-pot synthesis of bimetallic ZnO−CuO nanoparticles (ZC NPs) using the leaf extract of Artemisia abyssinica (LEAA) and evaluations of their anticancer, antioxidant, and molecular binding efficacy. The optical absorption peak at 380 nm from UV−visible (UV−vis) analysis revealed the formation of ZC NPs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed the fabrication of mixed-phase crystals with hexagonal and monoclinic structures of ZC NPs with an average crystallite size of 14 nm. Moreover, the biosynthesis of ZC NPs with a spherical morphology and an average particle size of 13.09 nm was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA) spectroscopy confirmed the involvement of functional groups from LEAA during the synthesis of ZC NPs. ZC NPs have exhibited the ferric ion reducing power (FRAP) with an absorbance of 1.826 ± 0.00 at 200 μg/ mL and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) radical scavenging activity of 95.71 ± 0.02% at 200 μg/mL with an IC50 value of 3.28 μg/mL. Moreover, ZC NPs had shown a promising in vitro anticancer activity of 89.20 ± 0.038 at 500 μg/mL with an IC50 value of 33.12 μg/mL against breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. Likewise, ZC NPs have shown strong binding affinity (−8.50 kcal/mol) against estrogen receptor α (ERα) in molecular docking simulations. These findings suggested that the biosynthesized ZC NPs could be used as promising antioxidant and anticancer drug candidates, particularly for breast cancer ailments. However, the in vivo cytotoxicity test will be recommended to ensure further use of ZC NPs.

“…However, the quest to maximize food production has significantly increased the generation of food waste (FW) [4]. Current estimates suggest that approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of FW are generated worldwide per year, a figure projected to double to 2.6 billion tonnes by 2025 [5], with households responsible for 42% of this waste, while industries that manufacture food and provide food services contribute 39% and 14%, respectively [6]. A large volume of FWs that are not utilized (i.e., for animal feed) are mostly thrown into municipal landfills where they generate greenhouse gas (GHG) and methane that may result in severe environmental impact [7].…”

The sustainable management of food waste is a pressing concern, with fruit waste valorisation emerging as a viable strategy to address this challenge. This study investigated the potential of pomegranate peel waste (PPW) and pomegranate seed waste (PSW) as mediating agents for the biosynthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs); ZnO-PPW and ZnO-PSW, respectively, for potential utilization as additives in various polymer matrices for food packaging materials. The resulting physicochemical characteristics were ascertained using Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive x-Ray Analysis (EDX). The obtained indexed diffractogram from the XRD analysis for both ZnO-PPW and ZnO-PSW confirmed the wurtzite crystalline structure of ZnO NPs. The observed morphology from the TEM and SEM analysis showed a similar spherical shaped structure, with agglomerations. However, ZnO-PSW, had a smaller size (58 nm) in comparison to ZnO-PPW (59 nm). Total phenolic content (TPC) for ZnO-PPW and ZnO-PSW ranged from 16.87–54.4 μg GAE/g DM, respectively. Also, the estimated minimum inhibitory concentration at 50% (IC50) for both DPPH and ABTS are 2.97 and 2.57 mg ml−1 for ZnO-PPW; and 3.43 and 3.33 mg ml−1 for ZnO-PSW, respectively. Moreover, due to its smaller size, ZnO-PSW demonstrated superior antimicrobial activity against five foodborne microorganisms. These findings suggest that pomegranate waste derived ZnO NPs could be beneficial for developing active food packaging materials.
