Comparative study on nutrient composition, phytochemical, and functional characteristics of raw, germinated, and fermented Moringa oleifera seed flour

Abstract: Moringa oleifera seeds were processed as raw M. oleifera (RMO), germinated M. oleifera (GMO), and fermented M. oleifera (FMO), and were evaluated for proximate, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, phytochemicals/antinutrients, and functional properties. Protein content of GMO (23.69 ± 0.11 g/100 g) was higher than FMO (21.15 ± 0.08 g/100 g) and that of RMO (18.86 ± 0.09 g/100 g) (P < 0.05), respectively. Energy value of FMO (465.32 ± 0.48 kcal) was higher than GMO (438.62 ± 0.12 kcal) and that of RMO (409.04 ±… Show more

“…The values of the ash content of the seeds were not significantly different from each other and are within the range of values of 3.87 and 4.77% obtained for Moringa oleifera seeds as reported by Olagbemide and Alikwe (2015;Ijarotimi et al, 2013) respectively. It is well known that ash content is related to the presence of inorganics with different charges.…”

“…Moringa oleifera have been used extensively for water treatment because it has certain characteristics, therefore the seeds were compared with it and other natural coagulants that have been scientifically identified. The seeds from Moringa oleifera was reported to have moisture content value of 9.97% by Olagbemide and Alikwe (2015) and 10.60% by Ijarotimi et al, (2013). The results of the current study show that the moisture content of the Duncan mango compares quite well with that of Moringa oleifera.…”

“…M. oleifera has been regarded as a 'miracle tree', as it is a significant source of fats, proteins, β-carotene, vitamin C, iron, potassium and other nutrients, and is also effective in the treatment of numerous diseases (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). The flowers, roots, leaves and bark of M. oleifera have long been used by the public as nutritional supplements and foods, as well as in the manufacture of perfume, skin oil and other products (12,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

“…7,17 However little is known how these effects are induced but most likely involve their polyphenolic compounds such asphenolic acid, flavonoid and tannin present in the extract. 18 Here we demonstrate that Moringa extract protects against oxidative stress-induced hyporesponsiveness of T-cell and DNA damage.…”
