The bio molecules from plant leaf extract utilized in the preparation of selenium material at the nano scale. The selenium ion was reduced to selenium nanoparticles in the presence of molecule residue of the plant leaf extract. The bio molecule stabilized selenium nanoparticles were grown gradually in the reaction mixture. The selenium nanoparticles were characterized using atomic absorption spectroscopy, fourier transform inferred spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscope and transmission electronic microscope. The selenium nanoparticles were synthesized successfully as the nano-crystalline pure hexagonal phase and the size range of 26-41 nm with spherical in shape. The activity and mechanism of nanoparticles suggested that the selenium nanoparticles are causes of leakage of reducing sugars and protein of pathogens membrane cell. The selenium nano are responsible for death and fully inhibited the microbial growth of pathogen. The bio molecule stabilized selenium nanoparticles were also investigated for the antioxidant agent. Selenium nanoparticles showed scavenging activity up to 94.48%. These results recommended that the advantages of using this method for synthesis of selenium nanoparticles with excellent antioxidant and antimicrobial mechanism and activity, which can be used as the antioxidant and antibiotic agent., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of this investigation to preparation of silver nanoparticles organized chitosan nano polymer, which effective against microbial and pathogens, when apply to liquid medium and edible food products surface, will rescue the growth of microbes. Self-assembly approach used to synthesis of silver nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles organized chitosan nano polymer. Silver nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles organized chitosan nano polymer and film characterized using Ultra-violate visible spectrometer (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (X-ray), and Scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The crystalline structured protein capped nano silver successfully synthesized at range of 12 nm-29 nm and organized into chitosan nano polymer. Antimicrobial ingredient in liquid medium and food product surface provide to rescue oxidative change and growth of microorganism to provide higher safety. The silver nanoparticles organized chitosan nano polymer caused the death of microorganism. The materials in nano scale synthesized successfully using self-assembly method, which showed good antimicrobial properties., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

The adjuvant applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in food and agro-ecosystems are not completely pursued, which most of the researchers confined to laboratory inventions. AgNPs is gaining a lot of interest among worldwide researcher due to exhibit antimicrobial properties and unique physiochemical properties. In addition, the facile and economically friendly method called biological method to synthesis of AgNPs using Bryophyllum pinnatum leaf extract over other methods and including antimicrobial properties, there is no doubt that AgNPs could be twirled the food and agricultural sector in future. The Ag ion reduced to AgNPs within 5 min. The AgNPs had synthesized in pure state of face-centered-cubic nano-crystalline metallic silver with spherical in shape and well dispersed. The AgNPs exhibited against food (Escherichia coli-MTCC-443) and agriculture (Bacillus megaterium-MTCC-2412) pathogens. The synthesized AgNPs are strongly active against microbial associated with food and agriculture pathogens., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
