ANTIBACTERIAL NANOCMOPOSITE BASED ON GALACTOMANAN FROM MIXED SEED AND ZINC OXIDE.

摘要

The present invention consists of a method for obtaining an antibacterial nanocomposite, based on galactomannan from mesquite seed and zinc oxide, as well as the product obtained. The method includes the steps to extract the galactomannan from the mesquite seeds, use it as a Nano reactor, synthesize the galactomannan/ZnO nanocomposite, precipitate the product, dry it, grind it and store it. Once the zinc oxide nanoparticles are obtained, it avoids the bacterial proliferation when placed in direct contact with an area of ??the skin exposed to infection. Also, the nanocomposite can be incorporated into a cream used as a primary care antiseptic treatment. When a person suffers a wound, this cream can be applied to avoid infections.
