“…The fatty acid profile reported is in agreement with other reports (2,4). The fatty acids which include the stearic acid, palmitic acid and vaccenic acid (5) have been reported as part of the fatty acid profile of the seed. The presence of monopalmitin is suspected to be from the partial enzymatic hydrolysis of palmitin triglyceride while the methyl trans-vaccenate could also be hydrolysis product of trivaccenin reported as compound 9 in this report.…”

“…Apart from the application of the seed in water purification, the seed is widely consumed by locals in Africa and Asia as a cheap source of anti-hypertension therapy (4). It is also consumed as food or used as food supplement in many part of Africa while its oil is also used for cosmeceutical purposes (5,6). Prior to the commencement of this work, there has been paucity of comprehensive detail chemical composition of the seed of M. oleifera of Nigerian origin.…”

The phytochemical composition of medicinal plants is responsible for the ethnopharmacological applications. These phytochemicals vary in plants of same species planted in various geographical locations. The seed of Moringa oleifera Lam., a widely consumed multi-medicinal plant was examined for the bioactive phytochemicals. With the aid of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1 H-NMR/ 13 C-NMR) spectrometer, Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the phytochemical investigation of the seed of M. oleifera afforded nine compounds which included niazimicin 1, niazidin 2, glucomoringin isothiocyanate 3, niazinin acetate 4, niazinin triacetate 5, niazirinin 6, glucotropaeolin 7, triolein 8, trivaccenin 9. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of a major oily fraction revealed the presence of additional ten compounds which include oleic acid (major), 13-docosenoic acid, stearic acid, p-hydroxybenzyl cyanide, α-l-rhamnopyranose and other fatty acids/esters. This is the first account of a fully acetylated niazinin (a 4-(2',3',4'-O-triacetyl-α-L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate) 5 from Moringa oleifera seed. The in silico toxicity evaluation indicated that most of the isolated compounds are either immunotoxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic. The result thus obtained could serve a basis for the pharmacological and toxicological evaluation and profiling of the seed. The result further implied the need for dosage regulation of the consumption of the seed.

“…For example, leaves, the most commonly used part, contain many nutrients including beta-carotene; vitamins B, C, and E; minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, etc. ); essential and non-essential amino acids; and carbohydrates; among others [3]. MO has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various conditions and, more recently, has been proposed to be of benefit in numerous diseases including cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, neurological, gastroenterological, and inflammatory [4].…”

Effects of Moringa oleifera on Glycaemia and Insulin Levels: A Review of Animal and Human Studies

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Diabetes and related neurological complications are serious worldwide public health problems. The increasing number of affected individuals make it necessary to implement novel nutritional and therapeutic interventions. The tree Moringa oleifera (MO) has been used as a food source and for traditional medicine purposes due to possible antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid regulating properties. These properties may be explained by the presence of numerous phytochemicals in the leaves, fruits, roots and, oil of the tree. The evidence for acute antihyperglycemic effects of MO extract on diabetic animal models seems to be robust, but more chronic and long-term studies are needed. In contrast, the hypoglycemic effects of MO on humans are not as clear. The scarce number of human studies, together with a diverse range of methodologies and MO doses, may explain this. In addition, evidence regarding changes in insulin levels due to MO intervention is ambiguous, both in animal and human studies. Therefore, more structured studies are needed to clarify if MO has an effect on insulin levels or activity.

Some non-conventional food plants (NCFPs) such as Yacon potato, Moringa, and Ora-pro-nobis have been studied to identify their constitution and health-promoting substances. The purpose of this study was to enrich the beef burger with unconventional food plant and to evaluate its physical, chemical and sensorial properties. Ten formulations were prepared, being one formulation for the conventional burger (with soy protein and without addition of NCFPs) and nine formulations with variations of 2%, 4% and 6% of flour of each of the NCFPs. Addition of NCFPs flours improved nutritional burger properties and resulted in an increase in protein, ash, and dietary fiber content, a slight reduction in fats and significant reduction in carbohydrates. The burgers produced using 2% and 4% of Yacon flour had the lowest differences in these parameters as compared to those of the conventional burger, and also presented acceptance rates that were similar to that of the conventional burger. Both formulations showed the greatest similarity to the conventional burger during sensory analysis, which could be well accepted by consumers who are looking for healthier foods.
