“…There are a few previous reports on the antibacterial activity of papaya-peel-mediated silver nanoparticles against pathogenic bacteria [30,98,99]. The positive antibacterial effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using papaya peel extract has also been reported [85]. All these claims also justify the current claim of the positive antibacterial potential of VPPE-AuNPs.…”

“…In another study, the photocatalytic degradation of palm oil mill effluents by copper oxide nanoparticles synthesized by papaya peel aqueous extract was also reported [73]. Similarly, Easmin et al [85] have reported the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B by papaya-peel-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles. All these studies further validated the promising photocatalytic degradation effect of VPPE-AuNPs in the current investigation.…”

“…Likewise, other authors [3] reported the antioxidant potential of selenium nanoparticles synthesized using papaya fruit extract and found that the IC 50 values for DPPH and ABTS assay were 45.65 and 43.06 µg/mL, respectively, which are similar to the current results obtained by VPPE-AuNPs. In another study, Easmin et al [85] reported the antioxidant potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using papaya peel extract with an IC 50 value of 98.74 µg/mL for DPPH assay compared to 44.54 µg/mL for the IC 50 value exhibited by the current VPPE-AuNPs. In a study by Jeon et al [42], very little DPPH and ABTS activity of the papaya peel extract was reported, however, when AuNPs were synthesized using a peel extract (VPPE) in the current investigation, their activities were enhanced (Figure 3, Table 2).…”

Papaya contains high amounts of vitamins A, C, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, ascorbic acid, potassium, and carotenoids. It is confirmed by several studies that all food waste parts such as the fruit peels, seeds, and leaves of papaya are potential sources of phenolic compounds, particularly in the peel. Considering the presence of numerous bioactive compounds in papaya fruit peels, the current study reports a rapid, cheap, and environmentally friendly method for the production of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) employing food biowaste (vegetable papaya peel extract (VPPE)) and investigated its antioxidant, antidiabetic, tyrosinase inhibition, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and photocatalytic degradation potentials. The phytochemical analysis gave positive results for tannins, saponins, steroids, cardiac steroidal glycoside, protein, and carbohydrates. The manufactured VPPE-AuNPs were studied by UV–Vis scan (with surface plasmon resonance of 552 nm), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) (with average crystallite size of 44.41 nm as per the Scherrer equation), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), particle size, zeta potential, etc. The mean dimension of the manufactured VPPE-AuNPs is 112.2 d.nm (PDI—0.149) with a −26.1 mV zeta potential. The VPPE-AuNPs displayed a significant antioxidant effect (93.24% DPPH scavenging and 74.23% SOD inhibition at 100 µg/mL); moderate tyrosinase effect (with 30.76%); and substantial α-glucosidase (95.63%) and α-amylase effect (50.66%) at 100 µg/mL. Additionally, it was found to be very proficient in the removal of harmful methyl orange and methylene blue dyes with degradation of 34.70% at 3 h and 24.39% at 5 h, respectively. Taken altogether, the VPPE-AuNPs have been proven to possess multiple biopotential activities, which can be explored by the food, cosmetics, and biomedical industries.

Crop growth and yield are negatively impacted by increased biotic stress in the agricultural sector due to increasing global warming and changing climatic patterns. The host plant’s machinery is exploited by biotic stress, which is caused by organisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects, nematodes, and mites. This results in nutrient deprivation, increased reactive oxygen species and disturbances in physiological, morphological, and molecular processes. Although used widely, conventional disease management strategies like breeding, intercropping, and chemical fertilizers have drawbacks in terms of time commitment and environmental impact. An environmentally beneficial substitute is offered by the developing field of nanotechnology, where nanoparticles such as zinc oxide are gaining popularity due to their potential applications as antimicrobials and nano-fertilizers. This review delves into the biological synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles employing plants and microbes, function of ZnO nanoparticles in biotic stress mitigation, elucidating their effectiveness and toxicological implications in agricultural. This study supports a cautious approach, stressing the prudent application of ZnO nanoparticles to avoid possible toxicity, in line with the larger global agenda to end hunger, guarantee food security, and advance sustainable agriculture.

Synthesis of nano‐particles using various greener approaches such as the use of plant extract, microbes, etc. is gaining a lot of popularity in the scientific community due to their advantages of being a cheaper protocol, reduction in the use of less hazardous chemicals, more environmentally benign method and good yield. It has been previously reported by many research groups that plant material provides reducing, capping as well as stabilizing agents and brings down biological and environmental risks in the green synthesis of nano‐particles. So it was thought worthwhile to synthesize copper oxide nano‐particles (CuO NPs) using some locally available medicinal plants. Rivina humilis L. plants which are available in our region of Vidarbha in Maharashtra State, India are considered to be the herbal plant for the treatment of respiratory‐related disorders mainly for asthma and cold by local tribal peoples. It has been found that it contains a variety of phytochemicals which can be employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials. With this aim it was thought worthwhile to present an efficient and greener approach for the synthesis of copper oxide nano‐particles using Rivina humilis L. (RH) whole plant extract. For characterization of bio‐synthesized CuO NPs, various spectral and analytical techniques such as UV‐Vis spectroscopy, FT‐IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDS were employed. The newly synthesized CuO NPs were also tested for their potential biological activities against six different bacterial stains namely E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, P. vulgaris, B. subtilis, and S. typhi using the well diffusion method. The antioxidant efficacy of the synthesized CuO NPs was undertaken through 1,1‐Diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. Their results have been presented and discussed in the present work.
