ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF TAMARIND MEDIATED COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Objective: To determine the antioxidant and antibacterial function of nanoparticles induced by Tamarind Copper Oxide.

Materials and methods: In 50 mL of distilled water, 0.318 g of CuSO4 powder was dissolved and 50 mL of the prepared extract was applied to it. The solution was deposited in a nanoparticle-forming orbital shaker and checked by a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The antibacterial activity of the agar well diffusion system against S was assessed. Lactobacillus and mutans. The antioxidant function of the copper oxide nanoparticle induced by tamarind was evaluated by the DPPH assay technique.

Results: Nanoparticles of copper oxide showed a concentration - dependent antibacterial activity against S. Mutans versus Lactobacillus. The concentration-dependent antioxidant activity was shown by the different concentrations of Tamarind-mediated copper oxide nanoparticles used (10 μL, 20 μL, 30 μL, 40 μL, 50 μL). Copper oxide nanoparticles have demonstrated the highest radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 50 μL.(94.7 percent ).

Conclusion: Copper Oxide nanoparticles synthesized using tamarind showed strong antibacterial and antioxidant activity and can therefore be used as a healthy, simple and eco-friendly green synthesis of copper nanoparticle for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
