Abstract

Synthesis of nano- selenium was achieved by fruit extract. This aim of the present study is bioproduction of selenium nanoparticles using fruit extract which was from Momordica cymbalaria (athalkkai in Tamil). The confirmation of selenium nanoparticles was confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Crystallography (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV visible spectroscopy (UV - Vis) and Se NPs were examined the antibacterial activity of the biosynthesized Se NPs. The overall result from this study clearly indicates that the biosynthesized of Se NPs may have a great potential for further use.
