Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticle is a novel way to synthesis nanoparticles using biological sources. It is gaining attention due to its cost effective, ecofriendly and large scale production possibilities. In the present study (Carissa carandas)redberryfruits were taken to investigate their potential to synthesis metal oxide nanoparticle. The ZnO, CuO, MgO nanoparticles synthesized were confirmed by their change of colour due to the phenomenon of surface Plasmon resonance. The characterization study was done by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), XRay diffraction (XRD), The above metal oxide nanoparticles were found to be effective against Pseudomonas, Bacillus and staphylococcus.

Keywords: Green synthesis, UV, FTIR, XRD.
