“…Asiedu‐Gyekye, Frimpong‐Manso, Awortwe, Antwi, and Nyarko () reported 35 elements (14 macroelements and 21 microelements) from leaf aqueous extract. The leaf powder have high contents (mg/100 g) of Ca (2787–3307), K (2672–4892), Mg (553–1566), Cl (188–332), Na (14.78–17.76), Fe (14.11–16.57), and other minerals (Mulyaningsih & Yusuf, ). MO leaves can provide 1,000 mg Ca and 4,000 mg by dry leaf powder, whereas 8 ounces of milk can give 300–400 mg only (Gopalakrishnan et al, ).…”

The genus Moringa Adans. comprises 13 species, of which Moringa oleifera Lam. native to India and cultivated across the world owing to its drought and frost resistance habit is widely used in traditional phytomedicine and as rich source of essential nutrients. Wide spectrum of phytochemical ingredients among leaf, flower, fruit, seed, seed oil, bark, and root depend on cultivar, season, and locality. The scientific studies provide insights on the use of M. oleifera with different aqueous, hydroalcoholic, alcoholic, and other organic solvent preparations of different parts for therapeutic activities, that is, antibiocidal, antitumor, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, cardio‐protective, hepato‐protective, neuro‐protective, tissue‐protective, and other biological activities with a high degree of safety. A wide variety of alkaloid and sterol, polyphenols and phenolic acids, fatty acids, flavanoids and flavanol glycosides, glucosinolate and isothiocyanate, terpene, anthocyanins etc. are believed to be responsible for the pragmatic effects. Seeds are used with a view of low‐cost biosorbent and coagulant agent for the removal of metals and microbial contamination from waste water. Thus, the present review explores the use of M. oleifera across disciplines for its prominent bioactive ingredients, nutraceutical, therapeutic uses and deals with agricultural, veterinarian, biosorbent, coagulation, biodiesel, and other industrial properties of this “Miracle Tree.”

“…M. oleifera leaves powder dietary supplementation has been observed to protect humans against iron deficiency, scurvy diseases, malnutrition, diabetes, cancer, and oxidative stress. [15][16][17] Different parts of Moringa including root, bark, seed, flower, stem, leaves, and pods are used as a natural source to prevent fungal and bacterial infections, due to the presence of significant amount of anthocyanin, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, carotenoids, anthrax, quinone, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids exhibits strong effect on killing of the pathogens. [18] Moringa leaves contain ascorbic acid, phenolics, and carotenoids, which make it as a natural antioxidant.…”

Moringa oleifera, also called zogale, is grown and harvested as a tiny and middle-sized tree in different parts of the world. It has various industrial applications, such as medicine, food, and cosmetics. M. oleifera tree is known as a miracle tree containing essential nutrients that could play a significant role in human nutrition. Based on its chemical composition and nutritional properties, it can be used to overcome malnutrition, particularly in breastfeeding mothers and infants. Different parts (leaves, peels, seeds, and flowers) of the Moringa tree are good sources of phenolic compounds, essential amino acids, vitamins, proteins, and beta carotenes, which can play a regulatory and functional role. The proportion of bioactive components is dependent on the source and variety of the plant. The flowers, seeds, and leaves of this plant have also been used in different food applications. This review highlights the reported knowledge relevant to the use of M. oleifera as a food fortificant and therapeutic agent based on its prominent biological activities and the presence of phytochemicals. In a nut shell, the leaves, peels, seeds, and flowers of the Moringa tree are potential sources of different phenolic compounds, which act as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, neuroenhancer, and anticancer. There is a dire need for planned and wellstructured experimental designs to deliver possible future applications of this tree.

High levels of human activity and the amount of waste generated from these activities often end up in rivers. One of the largest and longest rivers in the Jakarta and West Java regions is the Ciliwung River. The purpose of this study was to test the phytoremediation ability of 5 types of aquatic plants propagated through tissue culture (Bacopa sp., Eichornia diversifolia, Althenanthera reinicky, Ludwigia sp, and Murdannia, sp.). The research method used was tissue culture water plants to be tested in an aquarium filled with water collected from the Ciliwung River for 1 month, and the water was replaced every 5 days. Utilization of water plants from Tissue Culture is a novelty to see heavy metal uptake sharply and precisely because it is sterile and free of water pollution. Analysis of heavy metal uptake in aquatic plants using NAA (Neutron Activation Analysis) Method. The result is Ciliwung River waters contain Aluminum (Al), Brom (Br), Calcium (Ca), Cerium (Ce), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), Lanthanum (La), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Scandium (Sc), Sodium (Na), Strontium (Sr), Thorium (Th), and Zinc (Zn). Bacopa sp has shown the ability to absorb large amounts of heavy metal elements with a 100% survival rate, with the highest absorption element being Calcium (Ca) of 2.7191, 76 mg / kg. Murdannia was unable to absorb La and Ce and was the weakest species among the species tested.
