“…The problem addressed by this research focused on the 83% of small agro-industrial companies where agricultural CEOs market dietary supplements made from moringa oleifera leaves [61] and lack technical knowledge for product transformation using quantitative methods. Despite this, they embarked on capsule production and other products empirically, without any production control, with the aim of diversifying their income [62].…”

“…In the state of Veracruz, there is no official data on commercial plantations of moringa oleifera. Mota-Fernández et al [61]reported plantations in the municipalities of Tierra Blanca, Soledad de Doblado, and Puerto de Veracruz, totaling less than 10 hectares. Their main purpose is to produce dietary supplements from the leaves, intending to offer Mexican consumers an alternative to complement their diet due to the health benefits it provides [62,77].…”

The production of Moringa oleifera capsules has emerged as a promising agricultural activity in Mexico, driven by the plant’s well-documented health and nutritional benefits. In response, farmers have begun producing Moringa oleifera as a dietary supplement, using artisanal methods with minimal production controls. This study aimed to estimate the processing times of the Moringa oleifera production system using simulation modeling with Arena® software, and to evaluate the economic feasibility of capsule production. Methodologically, it was approached as a case study in the state of Veracruz, processing times were estimated through systematic sampling and modeled with Arena simulation software. Three simulation scenarios were considered to select a technically and economically viable alternative for agricultural producers: one with a 200-capsule encapsulator (1E200C), another with two 200-capsule encapsulators (2E200C) and a third with an 800-capsule encapsulator (1E800C). For the initial diagnosis a research stay was conducted for 180 days, and the production capacity was set at 24,000 capsules due to raw material limitations. Results indicated that the 1E800C scenario reduced processing time by 60% compared to the1E200C scenario, and by 35% compared to the 2E200C scenario. Additionally, the 1E800C model required only 2 days (16 hours) of work, while the 2E200C required 4 days (32 hours), and the 1E200C required 7 days (56 hours). In terms of production costs per unit of 90 capsules, the 1E200C was 3.93 USD the 2E200C 3.64 USD and the 1E800C 3.45 USD The study concluded that due to raw material limitations, the company can produce 12,800 units per year of 90 capsules. It is recommended to adopt the 1E800C encapsulator, which would lower overall production costs by 12.23%, representing 0.48 USD per unit produced, resulting in an additional profit of 6,150.50 USD Over a five-year evaluation period, the benefit-cost ratio was 5.03, the NPV was 922,370.11 and the IRR was 42.09%, indicating that this type of agribusiness in Mexico is both technically and economically feasible.

“…Generally, bioactive constituents and nutrients have been extracted from M. oleifera leaves using a variety of chemical processes. The most common process is the solid-liquid extraction that uses an ethanol-water mixture, followed by evaporation and drying (Valdés-Hernández et al, 2015). The M. oleifera extracts are employed for several applications within the food and pharmaceutical industries due to their potent antioxidant activity against free radicals (Falowo et al, 2017;Oswell et al, 2018).…”

In this study, an antioxidant-rich extract was obtained by leaching Moringa oleifera leaves. The activity of the extract against the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical was measured by determining a second-order rate constant (k2). The reaction between the mixture of antioxidants in the extract and the DPPH was monitored by measuring the absorbance at 517 nm in 30-second intervals for a period of 600 s. The absorbance exhibited a rapid decay within the first 100 s, followed by a slower decay. The absorbance data were fitted to a bi-exponential model. The curve fitting showed a linear relationship between the initial concentration of antioxidants and the reaction rate with the coefficient of determination values greater than 0.9979. The k2 value was 0.0870 ± 0.0007 mg/mL.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of pruning height (PH) and organic fertilization dose (FD) on the morphology and productive characteristics of Moringa oleifera Lam. We germinated seeds collected from 10-year-old shrubs, and 2-month-old seedlings were transplanted in the final field. We used a two-factor design of PH (PH1:0.4, PH2:0.8, and PH3:1.2 m from the ground) and FD (FD0:0, FD1:500, FD2:750, and FD3:1,000 g of decomposing goat manure). We carried out an initial pruning 4 months after transplanting and the harvests every 45 days. After three consecutive harvests, PH3 improved N° branches (12.53 ± 3.09) and dry matter (21.98 ± 1.30%), but PH1 showed greater stem lengths (1.65 ± 0.24 m) (p < 0.01). There was no difference in the stems and leaf weights between PH2 and PH3, and no trait varied according to FD (p > 0.05). The PH × FD interaction can improve the plant diameter (p < 0.01) and dry matter (p < 0.05) with PH2 (56.79 ± 3.71 mm) and PH3 (23.20 ± 1.04%) from FD1. We found an increasing trend in N° branches, plant diameter (p < 0.01), and the leaf–stem ratio. However, in the third harvest, the biomass production trend was downward for a short period for an adequate replacement of nutrients from the incorporated organic fertilizer. It is recommended to prune M. oleifera at 1.2 m from the ground to stimulate greater biomass and maintain the leaf–stem ratio throughout the evaluated harvests and apply more than 500 g of goat manure after each harvest to restore the nutrients extracted from the soil.
