Natural antioxidants of the Jaffna variety of <i>Moringa Oleifera</i> seed oil of Indian origin as compared to other vegetable oils

Abstract: The Moringa oleifera crop is grown all over India for its nutritious pods, leaves and seeds. M. oleifera seeds are endowed with a high oil content (~39%) which resembles olive oil because of its high oleic acid content (~65-75%). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the natural antioxidants of crude seed kernel oil from the Jaffna variety of M. oleifera (MSO). Natural antioxidants like tocopherols and phenolics as well as minor compounds such as sterols and carotenoids presen… Show more

“…Moringa oleifera seed oil is therefore believed to possess a strong antioxidant effect which could help preserve the hepatocellular membrane integrity from the xenobiotic-induced damage. The consumption of this oil may provide health benefits in terms of hypocholesterolemic effects (due to the presence of phytosterols) and scavenging of free radicals in the body (due to the presence of tocopherols, phenolics and carotenoids) [32].…”

“…Treatment also appears to have a clear effect in removing or reducing tissue damage. The reason may be due to the presence of antioxidants such as tocopherols, phenolics, and carotenoids found in moringa seeds, which work on the integrity of the liver cell membrane [35].…”

“…The enrichment of sunflower oil with glycerides of linolenic acid to a rational content in the mixture (1-1.5 %) promotes synthesis of arachidonic acid in the body [17]. Adding vitamin A to an oil blend intensifies the synthesis of arachidonic acid, and the introduction of vitamin E covers an increased demand for it in the mixture of specific amounts of linolenic acid [18].…”
