Abstract :
In this research, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) were synthesized using apple extract, and then the physical and chemical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated using SEM, XRD, EDS, UV-Vis and FT-IR. The average size of ZnO nanoparticles using Debye-Scherrer equation was estimated at 10 nm. The nanoparticles synthesized by this method (using apple extract) exhibited antimicrobial properties against Candida albicans, which showed the diameter of the halo created by the specimen in this fungus was 26 mm. The XRD spectrum represents the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles and is consistent with earlier reports. According to the SEM spectrum, zinc oxide is composed of uniform particles. According to the results of the EDS test, the presence of Zn in the synthesized nanoparticles has been confirmed using apple extract. In this research, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) were synthesized using apple extract, the physical and chemical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated using SEM, XRD, EDS, UV-Vis and FT-IR evaluation methods. The average size of nanoparticles ZnO was estimated using a 10-nm DSS equation. The synthesized particles with this method (using apple extract) showed antimicrobial properties against Candida albicans, which showed that the diameter of the halo created by the sample The mushroom was spotted at 26 mm.
