Identification of Phytochemicals in Myrtus communis L. Extract by GC–Mass and their Effectiveness in the Green Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles

Abstract Plants remain the most important source in many industrial, medical, and agricultural applications, due to their production of chemical compounds as represent secondary metabolites plants, similar those found pharmaceutical pesticides. The aim this study was determine phytochemical separation leaves Myrtus communis L. extract plant by using GC–Mass technique, role these biological reducing agents green synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles. analysis showed presence 11 compounds, such Eucalyptol, Vitamin E, Neophytadiene, N-Methyl-1-adamantaneacetamide. results also indicated effectiveness identified process biosynthesis nanoparticles, where properties nanoparticles were described UV-visible spectrophotometric Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Where peak UV-Vis spectrophotometer recorded at 366 nm, while size shape ZnO NPs average 30nm with roughly circular or spherical shape. research conclusion confirmed that M. contained which have a NPs.
