Production of antibacterial nanoparticles with date kernels
Fatemeh Dorinejad, one of the researchers in this project, called the production of high-performance antibacterial nanostructures using date waste as the title of this research and said: Currently, the use of nanoparticles such as silver, gold and zinc has been considered due to its antibacterial properties. While these nanoparticles have destructive effects on the liver and kidneys because they contain heavy metals.
Referring to the adverse effects of these nanoparticles on the environment, he noted: To solve this problem, we produced antibacterial nanostructures using date kernels.
Our studies have shown that date kernels contain large amounts of elements such as copper, zinc, potassium and magnesium, and due to the presence of zinc, date kernels are a substance with properties, he said. Has become antibacterial.
The results of our studies showed that the use of nanoparticles based on date kernels reduced bacterial growth by 16 percent, Drienjad said.
Reyhaneh Bamri, another researcher of this project, emphasized that in this project, we succeeded in making these nanostructures using environmentally friendly method, adding: Unlike nanostructures based on chemicals, these nanoparticles have negative effects on the body and They do not have an environment.
He described the production of antibacterial powder nanostructures as one of the achievements of these studies and said: The produced nanostructures can be used in medical and environmental fields.
