“…Clearly, nonfat yoghurt samples manufactured with MLE exhibited stronger radical scavenging effect compared with that of the control. This could be attributed to the high antioxidant activity of ML resulting from the presence of considerable amounts of natural antioxidants, including flavonoids, plant phenolic compounds and carotenoids (Amin et al, 2024). Moringa leaves contain a high concentration of vitamin C (Abdelazim et al, 2024).…”

“…Moringa oleifera (moringa) has gained significant attention for its nutritional and therapeutic advantages. Moringa leaves have been shown many health benefits, such as antitumour, anticancer, antihepatotoxic, antiatherosclerotic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antitoxic, antidiarrheal, and antidiabetic effects, as well as neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, kidney-protective, injury healing and hypotensive effects (Amin et al, 2024).…”

Moringa leaves have well-known health and nutritional benefits. This work aimed to study the properties of nonfat yoghurt prepared from skim milk powder reconstituted in an aqueous extract of Moringa leaves (MLE). Three nonfat yoghurt treatments were manufactured from three concentrations of MLE 0.5, 1 and 1.5%, which were used to reconstitute skim milk powder (10%). The results showed that, compared with the control, MLE had no effect on the pH value, acidity% or protein content, but increased the TS, ash and mineral contents (Ca, K, Mg and Fe) in nonfat yoghurt treatments. Nonfat yoghurt made with MLE showed higher antioxidant activity (%) than the control. The curd tension and viscosity of the control were higher than those of the applied treatments, but the nonfat yoghurt with MLE exhibited the lowest syneresis compared with the control. Nonfat yoghurt made with MLE at concentrations of 0.5 and 1% was organoleptically acceptable, but treatment with 1.5% MLE had the lowest sensory properties.

The rise of air, water, and soil pollution poses a significant threat to global health, leading to widespread disease and premature mortality. Soil health is vital, ensuring the production of safe food, but it is compromised by pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and excessive fertilization, resulting in the depletion of beneficial microorganisms and subsequently groundwater contamination. Water bodies are polluted due to contamination from industrial effluents, domestic wastewater, agricultural runoff, and oil spillage, further intensifying environmental pollution. On the other hand, atmospheric pollution, characterized by high emissions of gases, volatile compounds, greenhouse gases, not only impacts the climate but also poses serious risks to human health, leading to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, and increased cancer risks. Thus, the strategic utilization of traditional plants emerges as a potent tool for environmental restoration and improving human health. The plants possess natural filtering capabilities, absorbing pollutants from air, soil, and water, thus mitigating their adverse effects. Through phytoremediation, plants can be actively used to extract and remove contaminants, contributing to detoxification and improving water and soil quality. Additionally, plants offer various health benefits. Moringa oleifera or the drumstick plant belonging to the Moringaceae family is one such indigenous plant with wide applications, that can be grown in extreme arid conditions. Since ancient times, this plant has been used for treating skin infections, anaemia, and blood impurities. This plant thrives in diverse climates addressing over 300 different aliments. Rich in phytochemicals and bioactive compounds, M. oleifera serve as a superfood, offering high nutritional values and exhibiting potential for drug development with fewer side effects. Extensive research has elucidated the diverse properties and applications of M. oleifera, however, in-depth research is needed to identify bioactive molecules, phytochemicals, and protein compounds involved, which will aid in understanding of the mechanisms of action of the plant's diverse functions. Although studies have reported several of individual M. oleifera attributes, there is no comprehensive study available addressing its diverse applications. This review covers the findings of past three decades and provides a detailed outline of M. oleifera plant and its various parts, its applications in environmental, industrial, food and health aspects documented to date.
