Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have attracted increasing interest over the last decades because of their activities on redox balance in human body. However, the SeNPs tend to aggregate into large clusters, resulting in lower bioactivity, bioavailability and biocompatibility. Surface-capping agents on SeNPs play crucial roles in its stabilization and biological activity. Here, a green synthesis method for the preparation of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides capped SeNPs using green tea extracts as reductants under mild conditions, at room temperature, is reported. The structure, size, morphology and thermal behaviour were analyzed by various characterization techniques. The functionalized nanoparticles demonstrated high antioxidant activity, including DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging. Moreover, the SeNPs significantly protected the H2O2-induced PC-12 cell death. Taken together, these results evidence the possible application of these SeNPs as antioxidants food supplement or ingredient and neuroprotective agent. [GRAPHICS] .
