Terpenoids are a broad category of chemical compounds that include the isoprene unit. They are also known as isoprenoids and are mostly produced from isoprene units with 5 carbons. Terpenoids are mostly found in plants and are a key component of plant essential oils. They are also present in some bacteria and fungi. The various terpene varieties have a variety of medical applications, including the treatment of bacterial infections, wound healing, and malaria. XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV Visible are the techniques that have been utilised in the characterisation of the nanoparticles. These techniques are also used to determine the size of the particles. Different antimicrobial antibacterial activities utilise those applications.
