Abstract

Synthesis of carbon nanoparticles using a range of seed oils, including fenugreek seeds oil, pumpkin seeds oil, watermelon seeds oil, poppy seeds oil, and funnel seeds oil, employing combustion procedures for nano-scale production. XRD, TGA, SEM, and FTIR are characterization methods that are used to investigate the chemical and physical characteristics of these nanoparticles. With predicted antifungal activities of 48.6 and 44.5 mm against M. fructicola and B. cinerea, respectively, it was revealed that the poppy oil-derived synthetic carbon nanoparticles exhibited the greatest level of activity. Remarkably, carbon nanoparticles derived from poppy oil demonstrate notable antifungal activity, underlining their potential for a variety of applications.
