Abstract Human health depends on the daily supply of fresh vegetables and fruits, which contain essential, nutrients, vitamins other bioactive compounds. Due to malnutrition in several places all over world, biofortification approach is a crucial solution overcome this global problem. In current study, biological nanofertilizer selenium (nano-Se) was tested onion crop comparing with its bulk so...

In this study, selenite ions were reduced to selenium nanoparticles using a leaf extract of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants. Characterization of synthesized nanoparticles using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometry indicated the formation of variable size of selenium nanoparticles, suggesting that leaf extract could form polydispersed nanoparti...

Nanotechnology has proposed many new effective forms of nutritional supplement ingredients due to their low toxicity and high bioavailability, among which are nano-selenium, distinctive properties small particles increased surface area ​​compounds, allowing the opportunity for biological interactions. In this study, 48 laying hens, aged 47 weeks, a rose type were used, experiment lasted two mon...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element with a narrow margin between beneficial and toxic effects. As a promising chemopreventive agent, its use requires consumption over the long term, so the toxicity of Se is always a crucial concern. Based on clinical findings and recent studies in selenoprotein gene-modified mice, it is likely that the antioxidant function of one or more selenoproteins ...

Although selenium nanoparticles (Nano Se) have gained attention for their anti-cancer and antioxidant activity, this nanomaterial's antimicrobial activity also has great potential. The aim of study was to synthesize Nano Se edible coating solution through gamma irradiation technique with a bio-stabilizer sodium alginate (Na-alg.), which is an ingredient commonly used in food preservation. Dynam...

This study aimed at intracellular biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles using Lactobacillus pentosusADEB (LP) and the greenly fabricated were characterized based on visual observation, spectroscopy, microscopy, energy dispersive X-rays, X-ray Diffraction, dynamic light scattering properties. The antibacterial activities (LP-SeNPs) against selected foodborne pathogens evaluated. A gradual chang...
