Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, with the chemical and physical characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. Selenium has bioactivities related to the immune system, antioxidation, anti-virus, and anti-cancer. At the same time, it also plays a role in reducing and alleviating the toxicity of heavy metals. Compared with inorganic selenium, organic selenium is less toxic and has greater bioavailability. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have the advantages of high absorption rate, high biological activity, and low toxicity, and can be directly absorbed by the human body and converted to organic selenium. Selenium nanoparticles have gradually replaced the traditional selenium supplement and has broad prospects in the food and medical industries. In this paper, the chemical, physical, and biological methods for the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles are reviewed, and the microbial synthesis methods of selenium nanoparticles, the effects of selenium nanoparticles on crop growth, and the antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-tumor effects of selenium nanoparticles are also systematically summarized. In addition, we evaluate the application of selenium nanoparticles in selenium nutrition enhancement, providing support for the application of selenium nanoparticles in animals, plants, and humans.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for maintaining human health. The biological effects and toxicity of Se compounds in humans are related to their chemical forms and consumption doses. In general, organic Se species, including selenoamino acids such as selenomethionine (SeMet), selenocystine (SeCys2), and Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC), could provide greater bioactivities with less toxicity compared to those inorganics including selenite (Se IV) and selenate (Se VI). Plants are vital sources of organic Se because they can accumulate inorganic Se or metabolites and store them as organic Se forms. Therefore, Se-enriched plants could be applied as human food to reduce deficiency problems and deliver health benefits. This review describes the recent studies on the enrichment of Se-containing plants in particular Se accumulation and speciation, their functional properties related to human health, and future perspectives for developing Se-enriched foods. Generally, Se's concentration and chemical forms in plants are determined by the accumulation ability of plant species. Brassica family and cereal grains have excessive accumulation capacity and store major organic Se compounds in their cells compared to other plants. The biological properties of Se-enriched plants, including antioxidant, anti-diabetes, and anticancer activities, have significantly presented in both in vitro cell culture models and in vivo animal assays. Comparatively, fewer human clinical trials are available. Scientific investigations on the functional health properties of Se-enriched edible plants in humans are essential to achieve in-depth information supporting the value of Se-enriched food to humans.

Abstract
Considering the huge difference of biological toxicity, it is extremely significant to recognize the exact content of arsenic species in actual samples. In this paper, a novel pretreatment technique for the efficient extraction of arsenic species from herbal samples is developed by dual-frequency ultrasound-assisted enzymatic digestion (DUED). The preservation of arsenic original form, reduction of the actual analysis time, environmental friendliness and free-interference in subsequent detection make this method over the traditional method such as wet digestion, ashing and some solvent extraction technologies. The combination of DUED and atomic fluorescence spectrometry realize the speciation analysis of arsenic in traditional Chinese medicine. The optimizations of experimental parameters have been achieved, and the potential mechanism is discussed. The experimental data showed that cellulase is suitable for the digestion of herbal matrix than α-amylase and papain. Ultrasound can significantly increase the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of biological molecules, especially under dual-frequency ultrasound irradiation. The highest relative extraction efficiency can be obtained by combining 40 kHz ultrasonic bath (UB) with 20 kHz ultrasonic probe (UP). Two certified reference materials [CRMs, GBW(E)090066 and GBW(E)090067] and four practical herbs were used to evaluate the accuracy and practicability of the method. Inorganic arsenic, including trivalent arsenic and pentavalent arsenic, was the main species in the four herbal samples.

Abstract
A highly sensitive method was developed for the simultaneous separation and determination of organic and inorganic selenium species in rice by ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography combined with inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry. To achieve a good separation of these species, a comparison between anion-exchange chromatography and ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography was performed. The results indicated that ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography was more suitable due to better separation and higher sensitivity for all analytes. In this case, a StableBond C18 column proved to be more robust or to have a better resolution than other C18 columns, when 0.5 mM tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and 10 mM ammonium acetate at pH 5.5 were used as the mobile phase. Moreover, an excellent sensitivity was obtained in terms of interferences by means of tandem mass spectrometry in the hydrogen mode. The detection limits were 0.02-0.12 μg/L, and recoveries of five selenium species were 75-114%, with relative standard deviations ≤ 9.4%. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of rice samples. Compared with previous studies, the proposed method not only gave comparable results when used for measuring selenium-enriched rice, but it can provide greater sensitivity for the detection of low concentrations of selenium species in rice.

Abstract
Enzymatic probe sonication (EPS) was investigated as a novel and alternative technology for the extraction of five Se species SeCys2, MeSeCys, Se (IV), SeMet and Se (VI) from animal feeds. The critical parameters of EPS such as enzyme types, ultrasonic power, sample/enzyme ratio, extraction time and temperature were carefully optimized. Under current conditions, one sample can be extracted in 60s, in contrast to several hours required by the conventional enzymatic methods Moreover, the extraction is performed in pure water, no further temperature control or pH adjustment is needed, and therefore the risk of species interconvertion is drastically reduced or inhibited. The Se species were separated and quantitatively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-HG-AFS), which allows the separation of organic and inorganic Se species in a single chromatographic run. The newly developed method was successfully applied to the determination of Se species in 18 feed samples collected from markets and local farms. Concerning the feed samples studied, the results of this work suggest that stricter measures should be taken to control the Se-enriched feed supplements in terms of Se species.

Abstract
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for selenium speciation in dietary supplements. Chromatographic separation was performed on a TSK-Gel ODS-100V column using a mixture of 5mM ammonium acetate water solution and methanol as a mobile phase. Conditions chosen for this process allowed to separate all investigated chemical compounds of selenium: seleno-l-methionine, methyl-seleno-l-cysteine, l-selenocystine, methaneseleninic acid, selenite and selenate. A tandem mass spectrometer with an ion trap operating in negative or positive ion mode according to the selenium form being determined was used as a detector. Three extraction procedures: water extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis and sequential extraction were used for preparation of samples for the determination of the actual forms of selenium in diet supplements. The developed method was used for analysis of six dietary supplements containing selenium bought in a pharmacy and supermarket. Apart from speciation analysis of selenium content in supplements total selenium content was determined using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). All expected forms of selenium except for selenite were determined using LC-MS/MS technique. It should be stressed that amounts of selenate were smaller than expected.
