Momordica charantia Leaf Extract Mediated Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Antibacterial Performance

We uncovered a simple and conservational process for the production of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). This was accomplished by a biosynthetic method that included the leaf extract of Momordica charantia as a reducing agent. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of them exhibits maxima at 352 nm. The presence of bands at 630cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum verifies the production of zinc oxide nanoparticles. XRD determined that the particle size ranged between 20 and 58nm. Field emission scanning electron microscopy exposed that the ZnO NPs were irregular in nature and ranged in size from 20 to 60nm. The existence of oxygen and zinc in ZnO NPs is verified by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. ZnO NPs exhibited strong antibacterial action against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. This biosynthetic technique could pave the way for simple, cost-effective, environmentally friendly products that avoid toxic chemicals and are helpful for applications in medication and the large-scale manufacture of nanoparticles.
