Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among food-borne pathogenic bacteria has emerged as a significant global public health threat requiring innovative solutions. This study employed green synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers for the essential oils (EOs) Cinnamaldehyde (N) and Eugenol (E). The entrapment of EOs on ZnO demonstrated a shift in the spectrum of ZnO NPs and did not alter the antibacterial activity of ZnO NPs, resulting in Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of 125 μg/mL against tested strains of prominent foodborne bacteria.
