Enhancement of anti-bacterial potential of green synthesized selenium nanoparticles by starch encapsulation

This study established a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to synthesizing the selenium nanoparticles using Artemisia annua (AaSeNPs) and encapsulating the starch (StAaSeNPs) for enhanced anti-bacterial activity. The UV–vis spectra displayed an absorption maxima at 278 nm correspo...

Description
Summary:This study established a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to synthesizing the selenium nanoparticles using Artemisia annua (AaSeNPs) and encapsulating the starch (StAaSeNPs) for enhanced anti-bacterial activity. The UV–vis spectra displayed an absorption maxima at 278 nm corresponding to surface plasmon resonance of SeNPs. Particle size were found 70.81 nm for AaSeNPs and 109.2 nm for StAaSeNPs with zeta potential of −26.6 and −30.9 mV respectively. TEM images evidenced that both NPs were spherical in structure with an average particle size of
