Abstract:

In the present work, combustion synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using lemon juice and citric acid as fuels has been performed. A comparative analysis of the obtained powders was conducted to understand the strategic advantage of using lemon juice over citric acid as the combustion fuel. Although structural features of the samples were similar when both the fuels were used, their morphology and particle sizes differed significantly. On a comparative note, ZnO NPs prepared using lemon juice had greater surface area and smaller particle size. This intrigues the question for supplementary increase in the antimicrobial and anticancer activities of ZnO NPs. Antimicrobial studies exhibited against Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum, Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella enterica were greater for those prepared by lemon juice. Furthermore, 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5- diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay evaluation of NPs against PC-3, HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines indicated enhanced anticancer activity of ZnO NPs prepared by lemon juice.
