Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a water extract from F. latisecta gels as a capping agent (Fig. 1). Initially, a zinc salt solution was prepared by dissolving zinc nitrate hexahydrate in distilled water to form a 0.1 M solution. F. latisecta gels was slowly added to the zinc salt solution, and the mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 24 h.
