Introduction: Nanoparticles are a special category of materials with particular characteristics and in many fields have broad applications. Arrowroot is a starch that is derived from many tropical plant rhizomes, usually Maranta arundinacea, and also contains strong medicinal and antimicrobial properties. Hence, Maranta arundinacea synthesis ZnO nanoparticles are the field of focus here.
Materials and Methods: Arrow root extract preparation: Fresh arrowroot powder
has been obtained from the market. One gramme of arrow root powder extract that
has been freshly collected is mixed with 100 ml of water and boiled for three
to five minutes. Using filter paper, this mixture is filtered.
Preparation of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: In 50ml of distilled water, 0.861g of
Zinc Sulphate is applied. An extract of this arrow root has been added. The
solution was combined with plant extract and the ZnO nanoparticles were
prepared using it.
Evaluation of antimicrobial activity: antibacterial and antimicrobial activity
The green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has been evaluated against oral
pathogens S.mutans, Lactobacillus, C. Albicans. Albicans.
Results: As a consequence, it is clear that nanoparticles of zinc oxide had greater antimicrobial activity and this is preferred for the next generation to be used as the drug of preference.
Goal: The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activity of Maranta arundinacea-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles.
