“…The results of this study are consistent with studies in Bangalore India, which 60% of children who were given 15 grams of Moringa leaf powder twice a day for two months improving their nutritional status from grade I protein energy malnutrition to normal nutritional status [33]. Other studies in Burkina Faso also shown that malnourished children who were given 10 grams of Moringa leaf powder daily for 6 months improved their anthropometric status [34]. Supplementation of 5-10 grams of moringa oleifera powder per daily for 14 days has been able to increase body weight by 0.53 kilograms on children in Kupang Regency [35].…”

Child growth is recognized as an important indicator of nutritional and health status. But in fact, there are still some cases of undernutrition in some areas of Jember. This is certainly a challenge for health providers because the lack of nutrients that occur in this golden period is irreversible. This research aims to analyze the effects of modisco with moringa leaf for improving the childhood's nutritional status. It was a quantitative research and conducted by using quasiexperimental study. This research used pre-post tests design for experiment and control groups. Data from 40 children (20 from modisco group and 20 from the control group) were analyzed by using paired t-test and simple logistic regression. After one week of treatment, the mean of child weight significantly increased in intervention groups (mean gain weight 0.57 kilogram, p = 0.000), whereas the weight score remained unchanged in the control group (mean gain weight 0.05 kilogram, p = 0.066). The result also showed that there was a significant positive effect of the modisco with moringa leaf for increasing child's body weight (p= 0.026, Exp.B=56,6). It was indicated that the children who were given modisco with moringa leaf for 7 days, potentially had 56,6 times greater for increasing their weight than those who were not given. It could be conduded that the consumption of Modisco with moringa leaf had a beneficial effect to improve the childhood's nutritional status

“…Indigenous nutrient-rich plant sources like Moringa oleifera are increasingly discussed as potential sustainable solution to combat malnutrition in children [88], [89], [90], [91], [92], [93], [94], [95], [96], [97], [98], [99], [100], [101], [102]. Descriptive studies (intra-group comparisons) comment positively on MLP application as preventive or treatment approach however bear distinct limitations:…”

“…Hereby the admission period for SAM children aged 6 to 59 months accounted for an average of 36 days (IG) and 57 days (CG) due to significant higher weight gains in IG (8.9g/kg/d) versa CG (5.7 g/kg/d), respectively. Another trial by Zongo et al[97] conducted in Burkina Faso on pre-school children aged 12 to 59 months was ineffective in changing the nutritional status (HAZ, WHZ) by applying 30g MLP over the day for 12…”

Background and objectives: Malnutrition associated with anemia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among Adivasi children in India. The present trial aimed to test three possible ways of designing improved supplementary meals and to define their role in decreasing rates of anemia, thus increasing hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations as primary health objective: diversified meals only (intervention group 1 (IG 1)), with the addition of locally producible Amaranthus tricolor/Moringa oleifera leaf powders (ALP/MLP) in the ratio 2:1 (IG2) or with an adjusted amount of commercially produced micronutrient powder TopNutri (IG3). Methods: Cluster-randomization of 21 villages resulted in the inclusion of n=293 children aged 6-39 months after baseline assessment. The trial duration was 18 months, beginning in February 2015 (baseline assessment), with application of study meals three times a week at community level. Anthropometric, Hb (HemoCue201+) and morbidity data were collected in a total of four assessment points. At baseline a socio-economic questionnaire was performed. Results: Adjusted for age and Hb concentrations at baseline, time between assessment points, and gender; IG1 showed significant higher Hb concentrations as compared to the control group (CG) throughout the intervention period. The Hb of the remaining intervention groups IG2 or IG3, remained comparable to the CG at all assessment points. The effect on growth indices was less consistent, however most positive tendencies related to nutrition status (stunting, underweight, wasting) and morbidity reduction were attributable to IG3, indicating the beneficial role of a holistic nutrient composition in addressing undernutrition and infectious diseases. Conclusion: This low-dose intervention trial proofed the feeding of diversified diets alone (IG1) to be sufficient to significantly increase Hb concentrations of study children. On the way of achieving diversified diets for Santal children the promotion of kitchen garden programs combined with interactive awareness trainings may be a key measure. Trial registration: the trial was retrospectively registered at the German Clinical Trials Register on the 1 st July 2019 (DRKS00017388).

“…Moringa products are often promoted as nutritional supplements to treat and prevent micronutrient malnutrition such as vitamin A deficiency, which is prevalent in many parts of Africa or South Asia ( 18 ). As such tropical and subtropical countries are home to the drumstick tree, several studies investigated the potential of Moringa oleifera products as a vitamin A source ( 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 ). Borges Teixeira et al ( 16 ) revealed a mean beta-carotene content of 161 μg/g and a mean lutein content of 47 μg/g lyophilized leaf flour.…”

The Future of Moringa Foods: A Food Chemistry Perspective

The tree Moringa oleifera Lam. provides its leaves, pods, flowers and seeds for human nutrition. The chemical profile of all these Moringa products varies substantially, not only among the different parts of the plants used. Cultivating, processing as well as storage conditions chiefly determine the contents of nutrients and anti-nutritive constituents. Anti-nutrients, e.g., phytic acid or tannins, are present in notable amounts and may affect micronutrient bioavailability. Although Moringa oleifera products have been promoted for several health benefits and are discussed as an alternative treatment in various diseases, risk assessment studies evaluating contamination levels are scarce. Recent investigations have demonstrated alarming contents of heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and mycotoxins in Moringa oleifera products, indicating the need for a comprehensive risk assessment and contingent legal regulation of these products. In this mini review, we briefly outline pivotal, food chemistry and nutrition related data on Moringa preparations in order to stimulate in-depth research to close the presented knowledge gaps.
