Abstract
Morinda citrifolia commonly called as Noni belongs to Rubiaceae family was used for synthesis of Ag and ZnO nanoparticles using Green synthesis method. Noni has unique medicinal properties which help in normalization of abnormally functioning cells by delivering the bio-chemical nutrients. Synthesized Ag and ZnO nanoparticles have been applied on to jean fabric by dip and cure method. Nanoparticles were characterized by different methods such as UVVISIBLE, FTIR, SEM, EDS, TEM and a comparative study of antimicrobial activity were done. Application of Ag and ZnO nanoparticles to jean fabric may reduce bacterial infections and blocks UV rays. Zone of inhibition of silver was almost similar to zinc oxide nanoparticles but comparative to silver, zinc oxide was cost effective and less toxic
