GREEN SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF ZnO NANOPARTICLES FROM MANIHOT ESCULENTA (CASSAVA) PEEL AND THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL STUDY

<p>A technique for green manufacturing of zinc oxide based nanoparticles utilising cassava peel has been approached in this research antibacterial investigation. Especially, the is an agro waste from starch and food processing industries extract Cassava used synthesising (ZnO-NPs). The were synthesized using bioreduction method. plasmon peak UV–Visible spectroscopy observed at 380 nm, while XRD shows average crystallite size 67.31nm with hexagonal structure also stability bio synthesised are confirmed by FTIR study. Additionally, FESEM confirms found to be spherical whereas Zeta potential analysis have a stable well-dispersed form. Furthermore, anti bacterial study against ZnO-NPs carried out both gram positive negative bacteria. Therefore, results proved that bacteria more active nanoparticles.</p>
