Abstract:

Biogenic methods provide rapid and eco-friendly synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) which are nontoxic and monodispersed. The copper oxide and zinc oxide NPs were synthesized using food peel extract of Malus domestica as a reducing agent. The synthesized NPs were analyzed byScanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),X-rays Diffraction (XRD) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The crystallite size of copper oxide NPs was found to be 34nm with definite cubic structure while that of zinc oxide NPs was 12nm with a hexagonal floral pattern. The antifungal potential of synthesized copper oxide and zinc oxide NPs was studied against Aspergillus niger and Lacio diplodia which are common fungal species involved in mango rotting. These NPs have been proved as effective antifungal agents in food industry.

Keywords:

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, Aspergillus niger, Lacio diplodia, Antifungal activity.
