Biogenic synthesis of aromatic cardamom-wrapped zinc oxide nanoparticles and their potential antibacterial and mosquito larvicidal activity: An effective eco-friendly approach

Nanotechnology is the most innovative field of 21st century. Extensive research is going on for commercializing nanoproducts throughout the world. Due to their unique properties, nanoparticles have gained considerable importance compared to bulk counterparts. Among other metal nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles are very much important due to their utilization in gas sensors, biosensors, cosmetics, drug-delivery systems, and so forth. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) also have remarkable optical, physical, and antimicrobial properties and therefore have great potential to enhance agriculture. As far as method of formation is concerned, ZnO NPs can be synthesized by several chemical methods such as precipitation method, vapor transport method, and hydrothermal process. The biogenic synthesis of ZnO NPs by using different plant extracts is also common nowadays. This green synthesis is quite safe and ecofriendly compared to chemical synthesis. This paper elaborates the synthesis, properties, and applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles find its versatile application in medicine and industry when compared with other metal nanoparticles. The present study focuses on biogenic synthesis of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using lemon juice extract. Lemon juice extracts contains natural alkaloids and flavonoids which acts as reducing agent for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticle is characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. FTIR results showed the presence of functional groups which represents ZnONPs and reducing groups responsible for the reduction. The SEM observation reveals the synthesized ZnONPs are cube shaped. The obtained nanoparticle was further studied for toxicity using zebrafish embryos. Toxicity results suggested that the toxicity is dose dependent. Malformations in the embryos such as yolk sac edema and twisted tail were seen in higher concentrations. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized ZnONPs was carried out using DPPH assay. Results implied that the antioxidant activity was also concentration dependent.
