Caseinolytic and milk-clotting activities from Moringa oleifera flowers

Estimation of total phenolic content, in–vitro antioxidant and anti–inflammatory activity of flowers of Moringa oleifera

“…The leaves as well as flowers, roots, gums and fruits are extensively used for treating inflammation [7] . Flowers of M. oleifera are rich in calcium, potassium and antioxidants (α and γ tocopherol), and are used in human diet, mainly in the Philippines [8] .…”

Insights into milk-clotting activity of latex peptidases from Calotropis procera and Cryptostegia grandiflora

“…C. papaya and purified papain (cysteine peptidase controls) made curds similar to Brazilian commercial chymosins (Coalhopar® and Halamix®). Likewise, proteolytic extracts of Moringa oleifera and Solanum dubium, and a purified cysteine peptidase of Euphorbia microsciadia coagulated the skimmed milk and formed a white and firm curd (Ahmed et al, 2010;Pontual et al, 2012;Rezanejad, Karbalaei-Heidari, Rezaei, & Yousefi, 2015). P. rubra and H. drausticus were not able to coagulate the milk even at the highest tested dosage (100 μg).…”

Influence of Soil Type, Sowing Date and Diluted Seawater Irrigation on Seed Germination, Vegetation and Chemical Constituents of Moringa oleifera, Lam.

“…It is cultivated for multiple purposes because all its parts including seeds, stems, shoots, leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are useful and many farmers are taking interest to cultivate it as field crop for fodder and vegetable production (Amaglo, 2007;El-Dabh et al, 2011). The tree is particularly renowned for its great versatility, as its uses include being a food source for humans and animals alike, coagulant for water purification, remedy for numerous ailments as well as a source for biofuel production (Anwar et al, 2007;Peixoto et al, 2011;Pontual et al, 2012). Morirga alifera, Lam seeds have an oil content of between 35-40% which was recently analyzed and found suitable for the production of biofuel in the form of biodiesel (Rashed et al, 2008).…”
