TiO₂ and CaCO₃ Microparticles Produced in Aqueous Extracts from <i>Satureja montana:</i> Synthesis, Characterization, and Preliminary Antimicrobial Test.

ABSTRACT: The possibility of modifying the surface chemistry of materials and synthetizing inorganic particles in natural aqueous extracts of plants (avoiding calcination), opens the doors to undoubtedly interesting scenarios for innovative functionalization strategies that are increasingly eco-sustainable and rich in interesting chemical-physical and biochemical properties. Among the aerial plants, Satureja montana exhibits interesting antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities due to the rich volatile and non-volatile compounds (characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), contained in the aqueous extracts. For the first time, the latter was applied for the green synthesis of TiO₂ and CaCO₃ particles, characterized by X-ray diffract
