Abstract
Herbal ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Asparagus root extract via co precipitation methods. Th e synthesized nanostructures were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM which reveal the formation of crystalline ZnO nano-structures and spherical and granular nature with characteristic peaks of ZnO nanoparticles. Th e nanoparticles of Zinc and extract were also standardized for herbal marker component and Zinc and then tablet formulations were developed and standardized for formulation parameters. It was observed that the nanoparticles off ered a spherical and granular nature, which off ered very convenient advantage by producing very good preformulation characters including fl ow and particle size as compared to taking dry herbal powder as such which produce great diffi culty in tableting. Th e formulated tablets were standardized for formulation parameters on the basis of evaluation characteristics including disintegration time, dissolution time, friability and content for use as herbal nutraceuticals tablets and further development using various extracts.
