Moringa is an expeditious-growing evergreen perennial plant and has wide adaptability to grow in different environmental conditions. The nutritive value and medicinal benefits of its leaves, flowers, pods, roots, and stem barks are established by philanthropic research. Edible parts are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other chemical compounds with medicinal properties. The pods and leaves are mainly used as vegetables and ingredients in soups and curries. It is used to boost the nutritional value of food, as well as to boost the immune system and antioxidant levels, lower blood sugar levels and maintain inflammation. Moreover, Moringa leaves flavonoid amelioration of total antioxidant capacity in the lens. Its leaves, pods, and leaf powder contain a high proportion of Vitamin A, which can help to prevent night blindness and eye problems in children.

“…Moringa leaf extract contains high levels of plant growth hormones, antioxidants, vitamins, secondary metabolites, and minerals (Table 1) [22][23][24]. Growth hormones such as gibberellins, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and cytokinins, minerals such as sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ), calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), zinc (Zn 2+ ), iron (Fe 3+ ), and manganese (Mn 2+ ), more than 40 natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (ASC), glutathione (GSH), β-carotene, tocopherols, vitamins A, B, C, D, and K, and many secondary metabolites occur at high levels in MLE [16,20,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Of particular note, plant growth-regulating cytokinins are present in the forms of zeatin, dihydrozeatin and isopentyladenine [35,36].…”

Moringa leaf extract (MLE) has been shown to promote beneficial outcomes in animals and plants. It is rich in amino acids, antioxidants, phytohormones, minerals, and many other bioactive compounds with nutritional and growth-promoting potential. Recent reports indicated that MLE improved abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying MLE-mediated abiotic stress tolerance remains limited. This review summarizes the existing literature on the role of MLE in promoting plant abiotic stress acclimation processes. MLE is applied to plants in a variety of ways, including foliar spray, rooting media, and seed priming. Exogenous application of MLE promoted crop plant growth, photosynthesis, and yield under both nonstress and abiotic stress conditions. MLE treatment reduced the severity of osmotic and oxidative stress in plants by regulating osmolyte accumulation, antioxidant synthesis, and secondary metabolites. MLE also improves mineral homeostasis in the presence of abiotic stress. Overall, this review describes the potential mechanisms underpinning MLEmediated stress tolerance.

“…Moringa has been praised by many as the most nutritious plant on earth. Others call it the miracle tree or superfood because of its outstanding nutritional and pharmaceutical benefits [4] [5]. Aside from the young pods being prepared as vegetables in many places, the leave is also primarily consumed as a rich source of protein, vitamins, minerals.…”

Moringa Oleifera is a highly nutritious plant with a plethora of uses in various fields of life. It serves as food for humans and animals, soil amendment, water purification, skincare, etc. Almost all parts of the plant are valuable and have potential commercial value. The leaves contain vitamin C in quantities that exceed orange, vitamin A exceeds carrot, calcium exceeding milk, and potassium exceeding banana. Another remarkable property of the plant is it full complement of essential amino acids, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. The seed also gives valuable oil, which has both domestic and industrial uses. Even though the plant is naturally endowed with many useful attributes, the right harvesting and postharvest handling is required to maximise the potential and produce moringa products with optimum quality and nutritional content. Therefore, this review aims to shed light on some of the important postharvest handling practices carried out to transform the moringa leave into finished products. Some of the practices discussed are harvesting, stripping, washing, drying, and milling. The discussion also captures ways in which the activities affect the nutritional, medicinal, and general final quality of the moringa products.
