“…The nutritional properties of leaves and seeds of M. oleifera were shown by Sreelatha and Padma (2009) and Afuang et al (2003). Thirty-four diseases are treated with various products of M. oleifera, as shown by the works of several authors who provide a scientific basis of these uses (Anwar et al 2006, Anwar et al 2007, Ayanbimpe et al 2009, Beltrán-Heredia et al 2009, Gilani et al 1994, Kalogo et al 2000, Kumar et al 2007, Lea 2010. The massive use of leaves in human and animal nutrition and in traditional medicine implies premature and continuing harvests, which constitutes a pressure on the foliar biomass and consequently on the species.…”

Research AbstractFor decades, plant species, particularly those used as non-tree forest products (NTFPs), have been known to play an important role in the livelihood of local populations, particularly in rural Africa. The present study investigated the uses of various parts of Moringa oleifera Lam. in southern Benin. It aimed at capturing indigenous knowledge on the uses of M. oleifera as a preliminary step toward future efforts to devise better management options of this plant species. An ethnobotanical survey was carried out in southern Benin (Guineo-Congolese zone) with a sample of 439 informants (201 women and 238 men) belonging to Fon, Waci, Xwla, Sahouè, Djerma, Kotafon, Aïzo, Goun, and Yoruba socio-cultural groups. It was found that M. oleifera is known in South Benin under different local names depending on the socio-cultural group. Leaves were the most used part followed by roots, bark, seeds, and pods. Leaves are eaten as a vegetable and also used for medicinal purposes. They are consumed fresh or dried and reduced to powder. Different parts of M. oleifera are used to treat up to 34 diseases according to the local populations. Leaves are also used as fodder for pigs, sheep, and rabbits. The seeds are used to carry out rites for blessing and attracting customers. The study showed that M. oleifera plays an important role in rural areas of South Benin where it is used as a nutritional and medicinal plant. Local populations could benefit by further adoption of the species in agroforestry systems. ResumeDepuis des décennies, les espèces végétales, particulièrement celles utilisées comme produits forestiers non ligneux (PFNLs) sont connues pour le rôle important qu'elles jouent dans la vie des populations locales. La présente étude a porté sur les utilisations

“…Antispasmodic activity and hypotensive components of M. oleifera provide a scientific basis for the plant's traditional uses in the management of gastro-intestinal motility disorders (Gilani et al 1994). Kalogo et al (2000) also indicated that antibacterial properties of M. oleifera make it a useful medicinal plant.…”

“…Crushed seeds are a viable replacement of synthetic coagulants (Kalogo et al, 2000). In Sudan, seed crude extract is used instead of alum by rural women to treat the highly turbid Nile water because of a traditional fear of alum causing gastrointestinal disturbances and Alzheimer's disease (Crapper et al, 1973;Miller et al, 1984;Martyn et al, 1989;Muyibi, 1994).…”

Good quality dry seeds of Moringa oleifera were selected and the seed coat and wings were removed manually. The kernel was ground to fine powder using the coffee mill attachment of the Moulinex domestic food blender. The ground powder was then sieved through 210 µm sieve. The seed powder was de-fatted using hexane in electro-thermal Soxhlet extractor. Moringa seeds extract was obtained using the de-fatted seed cake and aqueous extraction. Different preparations of Moringa extract were added to 10 mL of the Escherichia coli suspension and incubated for 2 h without agitation. Survival of bacterial cells was assessed by making dilution series of bacterial suspensions, plating on nonselective LB medium agar dishes, and incubating for 48 h at 37°C. Duplicates were made of every individual assay. Colonies were counted on dishes and the bacterial cell survival ratio was estimated by comparison to a control experiment where no Moring extract was added. The bacterial removal was optimized by varying the mixing time, mixing speed, and Moringa seeds extract dosage. Statistical optimization was conducted by using central composite design (CCD). The experimental data was analyzed using statistical software DESIGN EXPERT, V6.4.8 DEC 10 2002 for Windows. The response surface model was used to determine the optimum operating condition that yields the highest antimicrobial compounds activities from M. oleifera seeds extracts. A cubic model was fitted to the data. The standard deviation for the cubic model was 0.56, with R 2 = 0.9999 and adjusted R 2 = 0.9994. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the effects of mixing time, mixing speed and Moringa dosage were significant (p < 0.05) in the extraction process. The Quadratic model was used in predicting the responses and the optimal conditions were determined as 31 min mixing time, 85 rpm mixing speed and 3.25 mg/mL Moringa dosage. The results show that the predicted and experimental values were not significantly different and it was thus concluded that the model obtained can be used to optimize the process of antimicrobial bioactive compound extraction from de-fatted M. oleifera seeds.
