“…Many studies have shown that the leaf, flower, bark, root, seed and nearly all types of MO tissues exhibit antimicrobial activity against several pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli and also viruses, fungi and parasites [10][11][12]. However, it is difficult to find in the literature, which methodologies are effective for antimicrobial purposes and for which pathogens.…”

The antimicrobial properties of Moringa oleifera Lam. for water treatment: a systematic review

et al. 2020

Plant extracts have been used as alternatives to the conventional chemical water treatment. Moringa oleifera Lam. is one of the plants used for this purpose due to its antimicrobial and coagulant properties. However, there is no systematization of Moringa's application methodology. Different parts of the plant, extraction methods and concentrations can be applied to remove several pathogens present in contaminated drinking water. In the present work, reported Moringa applications with antimicrobial effect were systematically reviewed, in order to identify effective methodology(ies) for water treatment. Forty-nine articles were screened for: (1) part of the plant used, (2) extraction method, (3) extract concentration, (4) targeted pathogens, and (5) inhibition zone obtained. Nine articles complied with these criteria and were carefully analyzed; eight of them reported on leaf extracts and only one on seed extracts. Two approaches were used: analysis by pathogen and overall analysis. A total of eight different extraction methods were reported. Extract concentrations used ranged from 0.02 to 800 mg mL −1 and were tested on twenty pathogens. Our analysis revealed that none of such methods is effective against all the tested pathogens. However, leaf extracts obtained with distilled water or with 95% ethanol were the most effective ones for a higher number of pathogens such as Escherichia coli and, possibly, Vibrio cholerae. Moreover, Moringa's extract concentration of 30 mg mL −1 obtained by the 95% ethanol extraction method was the most efficient. Findings suggest an effective procedure to use Moringa, reinforcing its importance as an environmentally friendly alternative for water treatment in areas lacking a water supply system.

“…All parts of the plant can be utilized by humans [8]. Various reviews noted antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, analgesic, cardiovascular, antiulcer, immunomodulation, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, diuretic, antiurolithiatic, anthelmintic, hypoglycemic, antidiabetic, anti-asthmatic, and antiaging potentials of the plant [1,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Its benefits in nutritional value present higher standard in dietary intake than is recommended by the WHO [5].…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. has been considered as a multipurpose tree. The studies on it focus on its variable nutritional benefits. It is growing in many regions, but information about nutritional properties of those growing in the Caribbean is missing. The present study focused on biochemical analysis of main nutritional and antioxidant properties in plant material—dried leaves and seeds—of Moringa oleifera. The composition of lipids, proteins, and vitamin E was evaluated in powdered dried leaves and seeds. Fatty acids were evaluated in oil extracted from the moringa seeds. Potential antioxidant properties of the moringa were evaluated in extract from crushed and powdered leaves, as well as from the powdered seeds. The total amounts of lipids, proteins, and vitamin E were higher in powdered seeds (31.85%, 35.13%, and 220.61 mg/kg) than in powdered leaves (12.48%, 20.54%, and 178.10 mg/kg). The main compound of fatty acids presented oleic acid (76.78%) in seeds’ oil and oleic (25.01%), palmitic (24.84%), and linolenic (24.71%) acids in leaves. Neohesperidin (126.8 mg/kg), followed by chlorogenic acid (99.96 mg/kg) and quercetin (43.44 and 21.44 mg/kg) were main phenolic compounds identified. Total phenols in powdered leaves’ extract (635.6 mg GAE/L) was higher than in powdered seeds’ extract (229.5 mg GAE/L). The activity against superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical was 92.4% and 73.1% by leaves’ powder extract and 83.6% and 60.7% by crushed-leaf extract; seed-powder extract exhibited a pro-oxidation activity (−68.4%) against superoxide radical and the lowest antioxidant effect against the hydroxyl radical (55.0%).

Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of triple antibiotic paste, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Methods: .The extracts of Azadirachta indica and Moringa oleifera were prepared in vitro and the antibacterial effect of the extracts against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans was evaluated using the agar diffusion technique. Results:The study showed that A.indica has a highest inhibitory growth (17.0mm) followed by A.indica and M.oleifera combination (16mm) against E. faecalis and C.albicans, and M.oleifera has the least inhibitory growth(14.00mm).Conclusion: According to this study, A. indica and M.oleifera demonstrated an antibacterial effect against E. faecalis and C.albicans.
