Research advances on the multiple uses of Moringa oleifera : A sustainable alternative for socially neglected population

Abstract: Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) is a plant with high nutritional and medicinal value. Native to India, it is now widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Its different parts are sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and present different pharmacological and biotechnological potential. Moreover, M. oleifera seeds are widely used in water and effluent treatment, for their coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation properties, their ability of improving water quality, … Show more

“…The absorption peak appearing at 1577 and 3347 cm -1 could be correlated to the bending and stretching vibrations bands of adsorbed water and residual -OH group. The biomolecules in leaf extract (Scheme 1) of Moringa oleifera are responsible for the capping and stabilization of CuO NPs [50].…”

“…Leaves, seeds, pods and flowers of this tree are considered a food source of high nutritional value in many countries. Amongst them, leaves have high nutritional and medicinal value [50]. A scrutiny of the literature revealed some notable pharmacological activities of the drug like antiatherosclerotic, antioxidant, hypolipidaemic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycaemic, immunomodulatory, nephroprotective, and neuroprotective activity [50].…”

“…The majority of the populace in developing countries depend on herbal medicines for their health care needs [4]; hence, this could be a better alternative for the discovery of cheap and safer drugs for BPH. Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae), also known as the “drumstick,” “horseradish,” or miracle tree, is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree cultivated across the lowland dry tropics worldwide for its nutritious leaves [5]. It is an affordable and readily available source of major essential nutrients and nutraceuticals.…”
