Abstract

In recent years, carbon dots have attracted significant attention from researchers because of their simplicity of synthesis, stability against light, water solubility, abundance of polar groups on their surface, low cost, and environmental compatibility. This study focused on synthesizing carbon dots from honey, garlic, and carrot using a green method and evaluated their antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The synthesis and characterization of carbon dots were confirmed using different methods. The carbon dots exhibited a graphite-like structure with spherical shapes and an average size of 30 nm. Antibacterial efficacy was assessed using agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) methods. Honey-derived carbon dots exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity, with the lowest MIC and MBC (1.8 mg/mL) against both bacteria. Inhibition zones for honey carbon dots ranged from 31 to 34 mm for E. coli and 35 to 40 mm for S. aureus. No significant change in antibacterial properties was observed for carrot carbon dots, whereas for garlic carbon dots, the antibacterial effect decreased. Data analysis using ANOVA and descriptive statistics (p < 0.05) indicated significant bactericidal effects for all three types of carbon dots. Honey-derived carbon dots exhibited notable antibacterial properties, suggesting their potential for environment-friendly disinfectant development with minimal environmental impact.

从蜂蜜、大蒜和胡萝卜中提取的绿色碳点:合成、表征和抗菌性能
近年来,碳点以其合成简单、抗光稳定性、水溶性、表面极性基团丰富、成本低、环境相容性好等优点受到了广泛的关注。本研究以蜂蜜、大蒜和胡萝卜为原料,采用绿色法合成碳点,并对其对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的抑菌性能进行了评价。用不同的方法对碳点的合成和表征进行了验证。碳点呈球状,平均尺寸为30 nm。采用琼脂孔扩散、最低抑菌浓度(MIC)和最低杀菌浓度(MBC)法评价其抑菌效果。蜂蜜碳点的抑菌活性最强,对两种细菌的MIC和MBC最低(1.8 mg/mL)。蜂蜜碳点对大肠杆菌的抑制范围为31 ~ 34 mm,对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑制范围为35 ~ 40 mm。胡萝卜炭点的抑菌效果无明显变化,大蒜炭点的抑菌效果则有所下降。数据分析采用方差分析和描述性统计(p < 0.05)表明,这三种类型的碳点都有显著的杀菌效果。蜂蜜衍生的碳点具有显著的抗菌性能,表明其具有开发对环境影响最小的环保型消毒剂的潜力。
