Extraction and Characterization of Biogenic Nano-Calcium Derived from Daysciaena albida and Otolithes ruber: Potential Applications by Vaisshali Prakash Arul Prakasam, Radhika Rajasree S R

“…Interestingly, further analyses using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed significant similarity between the nano-calcium samples from D. albida and O. ruber, despite the initial differences in yield, composition and particle size. This result suggests that the choice of fish species significantly affects the yield, composition and properties of the synthesised nano-calcium powder with D. albida appearing to be a more favorable source, but both products can exhibit similar functionality and warrant further investigation. …”
