%X In this study we used a chemical solution method from oxalic acid (OX. acid)
and zinc acetate (ZnAc) to prepare Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and Zinc
Oxide nanoparticles doped with Chlorine (Cl:ZnONPs). The characterizations
(FTIR, X-ray, SEM, TEM) of ZnONPs and Cl:ZnONPs were determined. Amylase
inhibitors of ZnONPs and Cl:ZnONPs also were determined. SEM indicated that the
ZnONPs and Cl:ZnONPs have an average particle size of 46.65 - 74.64 nm. TEM
images of the ZnONPs and Cl:ZnONPs showed the round shaped. Compounds b,<span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">d and e
