The current study concentrated on the green synthesis of Zinc-titanium dioxide nano-composite (Zn-TiO2 NC) through the use of lemon extract, optimizing the different experimental factors required for the formation and stability of nanocomposite. The preparation of nanocomposite was confirmed by the observation of the colour change and the surface plasmon resonance band was found at 380 nm, utilizing UV-Visible analysis. The TEM analysis, the morphological features of the prepared nanocomposite was identified to be spherical shape with mean particle size of 25 nm. In addition, the antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity of this nano-composite were also investigated. The biosynthesized nanocomposite showed excellent antibacterial activity against S. mitis and S. mutans. The obtained results indicate that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of this nanocomposite is significant. This bioactive nanocomposite can be used as an effective antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in biomedical and pharmacological fields for future applications.
