“…The comparison between six different methods of preparing nanopropolis was made in a study in which the hydroalcoholic extract of propolis was used to prepare selenium NPs (SeNPs) by hydrothermal, microwave irradiation, ultrasonication, UV-radiation, self-assembling, and conventional heating methods (Hatami, Javadi, & Jafarizadeh-Malmiri, 2020). In this study, 200 μl of the prepared propolis extract was added to 20 ml of 10 mM of selenium salt solution and the NPs were prepared using six different methods.…”

Propolis, a natural resinous mixture produced by honey bees is poised with diverse biological activities. Owing to the presence of flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, and sesquiterpenes, propolis has garnered versatile applications in pharmaceutical industry. The biopharmaceutical issues associated with propolis often beset its use as being too hydrophobic in nature; it is not absorbed in the body well. To combat the problem, various nanotechnological approaches for the development of novel drug delivery systems are generally applied to improve its bioavailability. This paradigm shift and transition of conventional propolis to nanopropolis are evident from the literature wherein a multitude of studies are available on nanopropolis with improved bioavailability profile. These approaches include preparation of gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, liposomes, liquid crystalline formulations, solid lipid nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, etc. Nanopropolis has further been explored to assess the potential benefits of propolis for the development of futuristic useful products such as sunscreens, creams, mouthwashes, toothpastes, and nutritional supplements with improved solubility, bioavailability, and penetration profiles. However, more high-quality clinical studies assessing the effects of propolis either alone or in combination with synthetic drugs as well as natural products are warranted and its safety needs to be firmly established.

“…However, negative surface charge prevents situations that cause instability such as fluctuation and clustering. [78][79][80] A study conducted in the literature found that the surface charge of SeNPs was 24.7 mV.

In this study, the reuse of Citrus fortunella (CF) plant waste, an agricultural product, was evaluated within the scope of sustainability. In this context, selenium nanoparticles (CF‐Se NPs) were synthesized from CF waste extracts and crystal violet (CV) dye was removed. The characteristic structure of the synthesized CF‐Se NPs was determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–vis spectroscopy, and point of zero charge (pHpzc). Batch adsorption tests were applied to determine the effect of the synthesized CF‐Se NPs on CV removal. Four different kinetic and isotherm models were examined using error analysis functions. While the particle size of CF‐Se NPs was determined as 27.58 nm, the pHpzc value was calculated as 9.40, the average surface charge distribution was −24.1 mV, and mass losses were 9.03% and 13.42% at 334.99 and 739.21°C, respectively. The most suitable kinetic and isotherm model for CV removal with CF‐Se NPs was determined to be pseudo‐second‐order with a R2‐value of 0.999 and Freundlich with R2‐value of 0.993, and the qmax was calculated as 23.55 mgCV/gCF‐SeNPs. The effectiveness of CF‐Se NPs synthesized from waste in CV removal is a remarkable issue in terms of sustainable production.

“…Various reports showed that propolis is composed of different bioactive compounds (such as flavanones, flavones, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, aromatic acids, etc.) that can synthesize NPS by metal ion reduction to their elements (Kumar et al 2014 ; Hatami et al 2020 ). Shubharani et al ( 2019 ) investigated the synthesis of Se NPs by hydroalcoholic extract of bee propolis (with size ranged of 52.9–118 nm).…”

Se NPs biosynthesized by bee propolis hydroalcoholic extract with the size range of 50–60 nm and six different heating methods, namely, microwave, conventional heating (mild heating by heater and stirrer), ultrasonication, self-assembling, hydrothermal, and UV irradiation (Hatami et al 2020 ). Hatami et al ( 2020 ) demonstrated that bee propolis extract, due to the presence of natural reducing and stabilizing agents, had potential application in the biosynthesis of Se NPs.…”

Evidence shows that nanoparticles exert lower toxicity, improved targeting, and enhanced bioactivity, and provide versatile means to control the release profile of the encapsulated moiety. Among different NPs, inorganic nanoparticles (Ag, Au, Ce, Fe, Se, Te, Zn, etc.) possess a considerable place owing to their unique bioactivities in nanoforms. Selenium, an essential trace element, played a vital role in the growth and development of living organisms. It has attracted great interest as a therapeutic factor without significant adverse effects in medicine at recommended dose. Selenium nanoparticles can be fabricated by physical, biological, and chemical approaches. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles is shown an advance compared to other procedures, because it is environmentally friendly, relatively reproducible, easily accessible, biodegradable, and often results in more stable materials. The effect of size, shape, and synthesis methods on their applications in biological systems investigated by several studies. This review focused on the procedures for the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles, in particular the biogenesis of selenium nanoparticles and their biomedical characteristics, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties. Eventually, a comprehensive future perspective of selenium nanoparticles was also presented.
