Green nanoparticle synthesis is considered the most efficient and safe method, both economically environmentally. The current research was focused on synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) from fruit leaf extracts of Citrullus colocynthis. Four solvents (n-hexane, methanol, ethyl acetate, aqueous) were used to prepare plant parts by maceration extraction. Zinc acetate synthesize (NPs), color change indicated ZnONPs. X-ray diffraction, UV spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy...

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is great importance in the modern health care system. In this study, zinc (ZnONPs) were synthesized using leaf and root extracts Withania somnifera four different solvents. ZnONPs characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer with a range between 350-400 nm. Scanning electron microscope revealed spherical morphology an overall size 70-90 nm XRD pattern confirmed crystalline structure. The total flavonoids, phenolic, alkaloid contents significantly greater...
