Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are the object of great interest due to their potential to be used in many areas of industry and medicine. Work is still underway on their synthesis methods; however, green methodologies are becoming more and more popular. In this study, aqueous extracts of black and green tea as well as infusions of popular herbs such as chamomile and mint were used in the synthesis of SeNPs serving as the Se(IV) reducers to its nano form. The influence of the reagents concentration ratios on the properties of the obtained nanoparticles were examined. SeNPs showed a greater ability to neutralize hydroxyl radicals compared to tea extracts. It has been proven that in the infusion of selenium-containing tea, the formation of SeNPs occurs.
