“…Cultivation methods should be also adapted to the major crop purpose, for seed or leaf production [44]. Seeds production requires a low density plantation (2.5 × 2.5 m or 3 × 3 m), while for leaf production it can vary from intensive (spacing from 10 × 10 cm to 20 × 20 cm), semi-intensive (spacing 50 × 50 cm), or integrated into an agroforestry system (spacing distance of 2-4 m) [45,46]. Intercropping with other staple food crops, like cassava, maize and sorghum, is very frequent in south Ethiopia and Kenya: Moringa leaves shed on the soil serve as green manure to increase soil fertility and to maximize crop yield [46].…”

“…Intercropping with other staple food crops, like cassava, maize and sorghum, is very frequent in south Ethiopia and Kenya: Moringa leaves shed on the soil serve as green manure to increase soil fertility and to maximize crop yield [46]. Pruning increases branching and vegetative growth, being adequate to maximize leaf production, but the number of pods per plant decreases, despite showing no significant effect on seed weight [45].…”

“…India is the sole country where Moringa is developed as an export crop [19,50]. For commercial purposes, large-scale and semi-intensive plantations of Moringa are advised and widely pursued [43] but smallholder commercial production areas (ranging from 16 to 1200 ha) are also adapted [45].…”

“…Generally, Moringa is usually resistant to most serious pathogenic pests and diseases in its native or introduced forms [19,51], without suffering greatly from insect attacks or diseases [45]. However, some exceptions may occur under certain practices and climatic conditions, especially under new environments as it faces new ecological interactions.…”

The Potential of Some Moringa Species for Seed Oil Production

2018

There is an increasingly demand for alternative vegetable oils sources. Over the last decade there has been fast growing interest in Moringa oleifera Lam., particularly due to its high seed oil yield (30-40%), while other Moringa species with similar potentialities are reducing their representativeness worldwide. This review reinforces the interesting composition of Moringa oil, rich in oleic acid and highly resistant to oxidation, for industrial purposes, and shows that other Moringa species could also be exploited for similar purposes. In particular, Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori has an interesting oil yield and higher resistance to pest and diseases, and Moringa stenopetala (Bak. f.) Cuf. is highlighted for its increased resistance to adverse climate conditions, of potential interest in a climate change scenario. Exploring adapted varieties or producing interspecies hybrids can create added value to these less explored species, while renewing attention to endangered species. Moringa seed oil can be extracted by conventional methods or using physical methods (pressing), creating diverse products from a compositional perspective, able to serve both the biodiesel and food industries.

“…In addition, Moringa leaves also have the potential as antioxidants, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial [5]. The use of Moringa oleifera leaves by people in Indonesia for vegetable soup, and some are using it by boiling the leaves and then drinking the water like herbal tea [6].…”

Moringa oleifera leaves for traditional medicinal plants and as food has been widely used in Indonesia and several regions in the world by boiling Moringa oleifera leaves using water as a solvent before consumption. Moringa oleifera leaves contain active compounds such as phenols,flavonoids and tannins. These active compounds can be helpful as an antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and lethality dose of the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves. The method used to obtain the LC50 value is using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test. The final concentration tested Moringa oleifera leaves were 50, 100, 500 and 1000 ppm. Antioxidant activity test using UV-Visible spectrophotometric method with DPPH to obtain the IC50 value of Moringa oleifera leaf aqueous extract. The results of the LC50 of Moringa oleifera leaf aqueous extract were 475.15 ppm, and the IC50 value of Moringa oleifera leaf aqueous extract was 217.21 mg/g with a moderate antioxidant value. This study concludes that the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves is medium toxic based on Clarkson's toxicity criterion with moderate antioxidant value.
