Green Synthesis of Zno Nanoparticles Using Musa Acuminata ‘Red Dacca’ Peel Extract, Structural Characterization and Antibacterial Studies

Abstract

Developments in nanotechnology are marking the researcher’s interest in regards to green preparation of Nano particles. In this existing study zinc oxide (ZnO) nano particles were prepared with Musa acuminata ‘Red Dacca’ peel inhibiting solution.  The peel extract act as a reducing agent. ZnO Nano particles formations was confirmed by the colour change when zinc acetate solution was added to peel extract. Phytochemical screening of Musa acuminata ‘Red Dacca’ peel extract was carried. Zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by bio method were studied using UV-Vis analysis, XRD, SEM. Both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens were utilized in the establishment of the antimicrobial study of the zinc oxide nanoparticles.
