FIELD OF THE INVENTION
In June 1999, Richard Smalley, Nobel laureate in chemistry, addressed the US House
Committee on Science on the benefits of nanotechnology. "The impact of nanoteclmology on
the health, wealth, and lives of people," he said, "will be at least the equivalent of the
combined influences of microelectronics, medical imaging, computer-aided engineering and
man-made polymers developed in this century."
Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology, particularly the ability to prepare highly
ordered nanoparticulates of any size and shape, have led to the development of new biocidal
agents. Nano-materials are called "a wonder of modern medicine". It is stated that antibiotics
kill perhaps a half dozen different disease-causing organisms but nano-materials can kill
plentiful.
Metal Nanoparticles have various functions that are not observed in bulk phase and have been
studied extensively because of their exclusive catalytic, optical, electronic, magnetic and
antimicrobial wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties . Over the past few decades,
inorganic Nanoparticles, whose structures exhibit significantly novel and improved physical,
chemical, and biological properties and functionality due to their nano-scale size, have
elicited much interest.

i i
Biosynthesis of Nanoparticles is an approach of synthesizing Nanoparticles using plants having biomedical applications. This approach is an environment-friendly, cost-effective, biocompatible, safe, green approach .Green synthesis includes synthesis through plants, bacteria, fungi, algae etc. They allow large scale production of ZnO NPs free of additional impurities. NPs synthesized from biomimetic approach show more catalytic activity and limit the use of expensive and toxic chemicals.These plant extract secrete some phytochemicals that act as both reducing agent and capping or stabilization agent.

Plant parts like leaf, stem, root, fruit, and seed have been used for ZnO NPs synthesis because of the exclusive phytochemicals that they produce. Using natural extracts of plant parts is a very eco-friendly, cheap process and it does not involve usage of any intermediate base groups. It takes very less time, does not involve usage of costly equipment and precursor and gives a highly pure and quantity enriched product free of impurities .
Plants are most preferred source of NPs synthesis because they lead to large-scale production and production of stable, varied in shape and size NPs . Bio-reduction involves reducing metal ions or metal oxides to 0 valence metal NPs with the help of phytochemicals like polysaccharides, polyphenolic compounds, vitamins, amino acids, alkaloids, terpenoids secreted from the plant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Zn is a trace element that is necessary for a healthy immune system. A lack of zn can make a birds and animal more susceptible to disease and illness.
Zinc activates more than 100 enzymes - the class of proteins that carry out chemical reactions, such as those that drive metabolism. Getting enough zinc helps the body make protein by taking the amino acids obtained from nutrition and then assembling those amino acids into new proteins that contribute to tissue function. Zinc also affects the cells' metabolism by helping cells regulate gene activity. This allows cells to activate genes required for metabolic chemical reactions and then turn those genes back off when they're no longer needed.
Nanoparticles compositions are useful in a variety of contexts. Nanoparticles compositions have proven to be particularly useful and/or effective in the context of medical applications, including administering therapeutic agents to patients in need thereof.

A simple, room-temperature method of producing, zinc oxide Nanoparticles was established by reacting zinc nitrate hexahydrate and cyclohexylamine (CHA) in either aqueous or EtOHic medium. Particle of polyhedra morphology were obtained for zinc oxide, prepared in EtOH (ZnOE), while an irregular spherical morphology,.mixed with some chunky particle forzinc oxide prepared in water (ZnOW). The results indicate that there are significant morphological differences between ZnOE and ZnOW. ZnOE showed a regular polyhedral shape, while spherical and chunky particle were observed for ZnOW. The morphology was crucial in enhancing the cyanide ion photocatalyric degradation efficiency of ZnOEby a factor of 1.5 in comparison to the efficiency of ZnOW at equivalent loading of 0.02 ZnO Nanoparticles wt %. Increasing the loading wt % of ZnOE from 0.01 to 0.07 led to an increase in the photocatalytic degradation efficiency from 67% to 90% after 45 minutes and a doubling of the first-order rate constant (k).

I Patent application Title "Green synthesized ZnO Nanoparticles against bacterial and fungal
pathogens'
Zinc oxide Nanoparticles are known to be one of the multifunctional inorganic Nanoparticles with effective antibacterial activity. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of green and chemical synthesized ZnO Nanoparticles against various bacterial and fungal pathogens. Various microbiological tests were performed using varying concentrations of green and chemical ZnO NPs with sizes 40 and 25 nm respectively. Results prove that green ZnO Nanoparticles show more enhanced biocidal activity against various pathogens when compared to chemical ZnO Nanoparticles. Also effectiveness of Nanoparticles increases with increasing particle dose, treatment time and synthesis method. In addition, the current study has clearly demonstrated that the particle size variation and surface area to volume ratio of green ZnO Nanoparticles are responsible for significant higher antimicrobial activity. From the results obtained it is suggested that green ZnO NPs could be used effectively in agricultural and food safety applications and also can address future medical concerns.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

A broad band between 3441 cm-1 is due to the N-H stretching vibration of group NH2 and OH the overlapping of the stretching vibration of attributed for DMSO and plant extract molecules. The observed peaks at 1028 cm-1 denote -C-OC- linkages, or-C-O- bonds. The observed peaks are mainly attributed to flavanoidsand terpenoidsexcessively present in plants extract. From FT-IR results, it can be concluded that some of the bioorganics compounds from plant extract formed a strong coating/capping on the Nanoparticles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
PREPARATION OF PLANT EXTRACT
The plant part is washed thoroughly in running tap water and sterilized using double distilled water Then, the plant part is kept for drying at room temperature followed by weighing and then crushing it using a mortar and pestle.
DMSO(Dimethyi Sulfoxide) is added to the plant part according to the desired concentration and continuous stirring using a magnetic stirrer. The solution is filtered using Whatman filter paper and the obtained clear solution was used as a plant extract.
BIO-AVAILABlLiTY OF ZN
Absorption of Zn in the body is very less and differs with the age of the birds and animal and the sites in the gastrointestinal tract. Zn can be incorporated in the diet as inorganic salts like ZnO and Zn Sulphate (ZnS04) and as organic chelates such as Zn propionate and Zn acetate. Even though, the bioavailability of Zn in organic sources is higher than that of inorganic Zn salts, the use of organic Zn chelates in animal and birds diets is limited due to its higher cost. Higher levels of Zn excreted from the supplemented birds and animals have raised concerns pertaining to environmental pollution .Thus, this problem opens a window for better bio-available Zn sources and if possible, to reduce the supplemental dose of Zn to the animal food. Among all the probable approaches, use of nanotechnology to produce nano sized Zn sailed as nanoZnO is a potential alternative to both organic and inorganic Zn sources. The use of nanoZnO has shown to produce better results as compared with conventional Zn sources.

ADVANTAGES OF NANO ZNO
• Nano particle refer to a particle size of roughly 1 to 100 nm .At this scale the physical, chemical and biological properties of material differ fundamentally and often unexpectedly. These nanomineral particle are having higher potential than their conventional sources and thus reduce the quantity required.
• It promotes growth can act as antibacterial agent, modulates the immunity and reproduction of the birds and animals.
• These can be used at lower doses and can provide better result than the conventional Zn sources and indirectly prevents environmental contamination also.
• Zinc oxide Nanoparticles are being used in the feed industry as additives and during packaging due to their antimicrobial properties .
THE DEFICIENCES / DRAWBACKS IN THE PRESENT INVENTION
Particle size is an important factor for good mineral absorption, because a fundamental physical law states that the smaller the particle, the greater the relative particle surface. It is
this surface that the body uses to break down and absorb nutrients. The larger this surface, the better nutrients can be utilized.
