MCL extract used to make ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO/Ag nanocomposites. ZnO/Ag NCs show strong antimicrobial activity against nosocomial bacteria and higher toxicity towards lung cancer cells compared to normal cells. Useful for developing antimicrobial and anticancer materials.
This study shows how lentils can improve health by reducing inflammation, providing antioxidants, and having antimicrobial properties. Lentils are rich in nutrients, can help manage diabetes, support heart health, and aid in weight management.
Researchers formulated an antifungal gel containing oregano and clove oils to treat oral candidiasis effectively at lower concentrations, reducing side effects and resistance. Gel showed no cytotoxicity, offering a safe treatment option.
Geranium essential oil in ultrafine bean starch fibers showed high antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria, with potential for food packaging to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.
Study evaluated essential oil chemical profile, found high levels of limonene, -pinene, and -terpinene. Showed CLEO has strong antibacterial and antibiofilm properties, potential as natural food preservative.
Study examined plant extracts as textile coatings, showing varying antimicrobial effectiveness. Hexanoic extract was most potent against bacteria, methanolic extract showed antibacterial properties but reduced post-laundering. Findings inform use of plant extracts in textile antimicrobial coatings.
Researchers found that raspberry plant parts contain antibacterial compounds. Leaves, inflorescences, and fruits can combat Gram-positive bacteria. Root and seed extracts show lower activity. Using natural alternatives could replace synthetic antibiotics, offering economic and environmental benefits.
AS-ZnO NPs synthesized from Alternanthera sessilis leaf extract showed improved antimicrobial activity against various bacteria under white light conditions, higher toxicity to breast cancer cells, and enhanced catalytic potential for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride in wastewater. Great for designing antimicrobial formulations and environmental catalysts.
