“…M. Oleifera leaves are also good sources of phytonutrients such as carotenoids, tocopherols and ascorbic acid (Saini et al, 2014b(Saini et al, , 2014d. These nutrients are known to scavenge free radicals when combined with a balanced diet and may have immunosuppressive effects (DanMalam et al, 2001). Besides the leaves, the flowers and fruits of M. Oleifera have also been found to contain appreciable amounts of carotenoids (Saini et al, 2014e).…”

Moringa oleifera tree is referred to as a miracle tree due to its rich source of certain macro and micro nutrients of great importance in human nutrition. The chemical composition of the different parts of the Moringa tree may vary depending on cultivar and source. M. oleifera leaf, seed and flower have found numerous applications in food. In this review we firstly summarized the present knowledge on the use of M. oleifera as a food fortificant in amala (stiff dough), ogi (maize gruel), bread, biscuits, yoghurt, cheese and in making soups. The knowledge gap in the reported research was provided and possible future applications of M. oleifera in foods as well as the need for a well-structured and planned experimental design were suggested.

“…Countries such as India, Pakistan and Philippines (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2016;Anwar et al, 2005;Anwar and Bhanger, 2003;D'souza and Kulkarni.1993) use this species widely. Moringa is being used in diverse culinary ways and as a health supplement (McBurney et al, 2004;Fahey, 2005;DanMalam et al, 2001;Iqbal et al, 2006). A leaf powder from the plant can be used for children with malnutrition, pregnant and lactating woman (Price, 1985).…”

Moringa oleifera is a versatile horticulture tree with important medicinal, nutritional and industrial applications, widely distributed and used in India. The Moringa tree originated in India and was introduced to Africa from India and other countries as a health supplement. Almost all parts of the plant have shown nutritional value and are used in India for a variety of food preparations. In India, M. oleifera leaves are available in powder to treat mild malnourishment in children. About all parts like leaves, seeds and pods are used as vegetables. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, anthraquinones, alkaloids and others, are responsible for the medicinal value of this plant. This species is rich in protein, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that form part of its quality as superfood. It has been reported to have strong antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, diuretic, anthelminthic and antiurolithiatic properties, among others. People in India use this species to treat common illnesses because of its availability and easy preparation. This review provides information on the significant potential of Moringa and its nutritional, medicinal, pharmaceutical and industrial values.

Background: Health benefits of designed functional foods using dairy fermented products in co-production with medicinal herbs are under comprehensive investigations. Yoghurt has triggered a functional food revolution while green tea and Moringa oleifera represent precious source of high content of various types of antioxidants and micronutrients. Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are suggested mechanisms involved in lead toxicity. The aim of present study was to assess protective effects of green tea and moringa leave extracts and their bio-yoghurts against lead acetate-induced oxidative stress in male rats by following liver weight and enzymes and lipids profile.
