Zinc Oxide nanoparticle (ZnO) is broadly used in food packaging industry. Synthesis of ZnO includes different methods like using chemical, gas and sol gel. But it contains more toxins. Hence biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticle is eco-friendly and non toxic. It acts as an anticancer, antidiabetic, antibacterial activity and so on. Trace metals like zinc, magnesium and chromium are involved in glucose metabolism and have a role in controlling blood glucose and hence in diabetic therapy. Zinc is also known to keep the structure of insulin and plays an important role in insulin synthesis, secretion and storage. Nano -ZnO is commonly utilized as additive in food. In this article we discussed about biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from Mangifera indica L. anacardiaceae extract. Synthesized nanoparticles is subjected to its characterization such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in the range between 4000cm-1 to 400cm-1 and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Functional group was identified in FTIR and nature, size, composition and degree of crystallinity were determined by using X−ray Diffraction analytical technique.

AbstractIn this era, nanotechnology is gaining enormous popularity due to its ability to reduce metals, metalloids and metal oxides into their nanosize, which essentially alter their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Zinc oxide nanoparticle is one of the most important semiconductor metal oxides with diverse applications in the field of material science. However, several factors, such as pH of the reaction mixture, calcination temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, nature of capping agents, and concentration of metal precursors, greatly affect the properties of the zinc oxide nanoparticles and their applications. This review focuses on the influence of the synthesis parameters on the morphology, mineralogical phase, textural properties, microstructures, and size of the zinc oxide nanoparticles. In addition, the review also examined the application of zinc oxides as nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.
