Sustainable and eco-friendly synthesis methods for nanoparticles are crucial for advancing green nanotechnology. This study presents the biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles using ovalbumin, an abundant and non-toxic protein from egg white. The synthesis process was optimized by varying metal ion concentrations to control particle size and morphology. Characterization using ATR-FTIR, XRD, SEM, and UV-VIS confirmed the successful formation of uniform, well-crystallized nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 7.9 to 13.5 nm. ZnO nanoparticles exhibited superior antimicrobial efficacy against
