“…As reported by [34] analysis of hydro-methanolic extracts of Moringa, leaves revealed a wide range of phenolic compounds. Many authors also reported that the leaves of M. oleifera fresh or dried are known to be excellent source of antioxidants and they have significantly higher antioxidant content comparing to fruits such as strawberries known for high antioxidant contents [7,[35][36][37].…”

“…Moringa oleifera is a slender deciduous perennial evergreen tree that originated in India, but has spread to other regions. It is one of the fastest growing trees in the world with high biomass yield, high crude protein of 31%, and an equitable level of other nutrients in the leaves (Moyo et al, 2011;Gopalakrishnan et al, 2016). Moringa oleifera provides food, medicine, fuel, and other uses, but its potential as an important browse plant for small ruminants has not been fully evaluated.…”

Moringa oleifera leaves may have the potential to enhance nutritional status, growth performance, and health of ruminant animals when used as part of their diets. However, the nutritional value of the leaves for goats is largely unknown and needs to be investigated. Consequently, eighteen West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks weighing 7.0 ± 0.33 kg were used in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of diluting a conventional supplement with three levels of M. oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on growth performance, haematology, and blood biochemical constituents. The MOLM was included in the commercial supplement at a rate of 0, 50, and 100 g/kg dry matter (DM). Including MOLM in the supplement did not significantly affect weight gain, dry matter intake, and metabolic weight gain of bucks. Packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (hb), and total protein were not significantly influenced by MOLM inclusion, either. However, blood urea concentration was significantly increased in bucks that were offered MOLM-based diets. All blood parameters, as well as alanine transaminase (ALT) and urea, were within the normal reference ranges for clinically healthy goats. The MOLM-based supplements had significantly lower feed cost per kilogram of weight gain and higher profit per kilogram of gain. It was concluded that diluting the commercial supplement with MOLM up to 100 g/kg DM does not impair the nutritional status, growth performance and health status of the goats while reducing the feed cost per gain.

“…With some exceptions, they are widely distributed in most of Africa, tropical Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, parts of North America, and Pacific Islands (Verdcourt, 1986). M. oleifera Lam., extensively studied and most widely known for its nutritional and medicinal applications, has enjoyed special attention owing to its vast distribution and availability (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2016). On the other hand, M. peregrina which has fascinating nutritional and medicinal uses does not receive the same attention due to its limited distribution.…”

SUMMARY:The present research work was intended to study the influence of roasting and germination of the kernel seeds of Sudanese Moringa peregrina on the physicochemical characteristics and the oxidative stability of the extracted oil. Roasting was carried out at 180 ˚C for 25 minutes, whereas germination was done at ambient conditions in a wet jute bag for 5-7 days. The oil was extracted using n-hexane in a Soxhlet extraction apparatus. The results show that the oil contains α-tocopherols (152mg/kg) and oleic acid (above 70%) as the major tocols and fatty acids, respectively. Germination reduced the peroxide value and increased the acid value in a significant way (p < 0.05) whereas the opposite trend was noticed in the case of roasting. It is crucial to note that, with the exception of the acid value of the germinated sample, peroxide and acid values remained below one meq O 2 / Kg of oil and one mg KOH/g of oil, respectively. The oxidative stability of the oil from the roasted sample was increased almost by 80% compared to the raw one. Roasting of the kernels prior to oil extraction is imperative for improving its oxidation resistance and the physicochemical characteristics. KEYWORDS:Germination; Fatty acids composition; Moringa peregrina; Oxidative stability; Plastochromanol (PC-8); Roasting; Tocols RESUMEN: Efecto del pretratamiento sobre la composición proximal, características fisicoquímicas y estabilidad del aceite de Moringa peregrina. El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar la influencia de la torrefacción y la germinación de semillas de grano de Moringa peregrina sudanesa sobre las características fisicoquímicas y la estabilidad oxidativa del aceite extraido. La torrefacción se llevó a cabo a 180ºC durante 25 minutos, mientras que la germinación se realizó en condiciones ambientales en una bolsa de yute húmeda durante 5-7 días. El aceite se extrajo utilizando n-hexano en un aparato de extracción Soxhlet. Los resultados han demostrado que el aceite contiene α-tocoferoles (152 mg/kg) y ácido oleico (por encima del 70%) como tocolos y ácidos grasos mayoritarios, respectivamente. La germinación redujo el valor de peróxido y aumentado la acidez de forma significativa (p <0,05), mientras que la tendencia opuesta se observó en el caso del tostado. Es importante señalar que, excepto el valor acidez de la muestra germinada, los valores de peróxido y acidez permanecieron por debajo de un meq O 2 /Kg de aceite y un mg KOH/g de aceite, respectivamente. La estabilidad oxidativa del aceite de la muestra tostada incrementó casi un 80% en comparación con la cruda. La torrefacción de los granos antes de la extracción de aceite es crucial para mejorar su resistencia a la oxidación y las características fisicoquímicas.
