In the current study, we have reported a novel approach for synthesizing zinc oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO Nps) from ( − )‐Hydroxy Citric Acid [( − )‐HCA] extracted from the dried rinds of the fruit Garcinia gummi‐gutta . The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by UV‐Vis spectroscopy (UV‐Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDAX) and High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR‐TEM). Hydroxy citric acid (HCA) was used as a template to synthesize the ZnO Nps. The presence of ( − )‐HCA was confirmed by High‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Spherical clusters built of nanoparticle aggregates with the desired composition of ZnO were confirmed from the SEM‐EDAX and HRTEM analysis. The synthesized ZnO Nps showed a positive response for antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities.
