“…Our study showed that the moringa leaves contained 22.5 mg/100 g of iron and 416 mg of calcium per 100 g of sample whereas the seeds of moringa contained 8.23 mg/100g of iron and 520 mg of calcium per 100 g of sample (Table 2). This was not in agreement with the author reported from leaves of moringa to have 28.5 mg of iron and 1.60 mg of calcium/100 g of leaves 29 . Also, authors have revealed that the seeds of moringa to have 2.18 ppm of iron and 67.01 ppm of calcium whereas the leaves had 4.11 ppm of iron and 141.42 ppm of calcium/100g dry weight 30 .…”

“…In the case of moringa leaves, our study showed to have 8.835 mg of thiamine, 2.201 mg of riboflavin, 27.968 mg of pyridoxine, 147.435 mg of biotin and 6.733 mg of vit C per 100 grams of dried sample. One of the studies was in agreement with our result except the riboflavin, which was observed higher (20.5 mg/100 g) in moringa leaves 29 . A higher value of vit C was observed in the leaves of M.oleifera with 2.7 mg/g dry weight basis 25 .…”

Certain varieties of plants are abundantly available with rich in nutrients, but the complete sets of nutritional composition studies have not been carried out. Among them, the matured leaves of Murrya keonigii; seeds and leaves of Moringa oleifera, and fruit pulp of Aegle marmelos were chosen. The proximate analysed for above samples showed that the moisture varies from 2.4% -8.2%, crude proteins from 18.75%- 34.57 %, fat content from 5.6% -19.6%, ash content from 3.87%-15.6% and carbohydrate from 28.65% - 41.23%, respectively. Estimation of mineral contents revealed that the leaves and seeds of moringa had higher concentrations than others. Determination of total antioxidant (total flavonoid) was higher (63.550 μg (RU)/ml of samples) in matured curry leaves than others. Determination of in vitro antioxidant activity with FRAP revealed highest activity in curry leaves (174.5μg) to a least activity with seeds of moringa (45.725 μg), whereas the DPPH revealed highest activity for fruit pulp of bael (1680.6μg ascorbic acid) to the least in leaves of moringa (263.15 μg ascorbic acid equivalent/mg). The ABTS showed IC50 value of 210.52 ±0.5774 for curry leaf, 487.8 ±0.3347 and 205.36 moringa seeds and leaves and 513.24 IC50 μg for pulp of bael fruit. Quantitative analysis of water soluble vitamins such as thiamine (B1) varied from 2.172 -5.558 mg; riboflavin (B2) from 2.201 -11.354 mg; pyridoxine (B6) from 4.608 -194.001 mg; biotin (B7) from 36.864 -153.027 mg, respectively. Further, the vitamin C (ascorbic acid) varied from 6.733 -23.142 mg /100g of oven dried samples, respectively. Therefore, the above foods are well intended to be included in routine diet regime and may also be willing to utilise for food supplementation with other suitable diets to manage the conditions such as malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies.

“…Also, alpha-lipoic acid, an organo-sulphur compound derived from octanoic acid, is regarded as a universal antioxidant as it acts as a cofactor for many enzymes and is shown to restore endogenous antioxidants such as oxidised vitamin Cand E, thereby protecting organelles, cells and tissue from the damaging effects of excessive ROS production (Taherian et al, 2019). Moringa oleifera leaves are also rich in vitamin C and E (Ajantha et al, 2018), which have been indicated as major chain-breaking antioxidants with strong reducing potential that attenuate free radical generating reactions (Brash & Havre, 2002).

The effects of aqueous leaf extract of Moringa oleifera (MO) on human sperm functions and integrity was studied in vitro. Semen was obtained by masturbation after 3-5 days' abstinence from 34 healthy donors in Western Cape, South Africa. Liquefied semen was washed in human tubular fluid supplemented with 1% bovine serum albumin (HTF-BSA;1:5) with 10 min centrifugation at 300 g. Sperm suspensions were subsequently incubated with MO extract (0.625, 6.25, 62.5 and 625 µg/ ml) for 1 hr, where HTF-BSA served as control. Sperm motility, vitality, DNA fragmentation, reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial membrane potential, capacitation and acrosome reaction were assessed. Sperm motility, vitality, mitochondrial membrane potential and capacitation remained unchanged (p > .05). A dose-dependent decrease in sperm reactive oxygen species production (p < .0001), DNA fragmentation (p < .0001) and acrosome reaction (p < .001) was observed. An increase in the percentage of non-capacitated sperm (p < .01) was noted at 625 µg/ ml. The antioxidant properties of MO actively maintained basic sperm functions, inhibited excess sperm free superoxide production and preserved acrosome reaction and DNA integrity. Further studies are needed to confirm the effect of aqueous MO leaf extract on fertility potential.

Moringa oleifera es una especie con gran importancia alimenticia. El objetivo fue determinar el efecto de la poda sobre la producción de biomasa y contenido proteico en moringa. Plantas de tres años de edad fueron seleccionadas de acuerdo a la similitud entre altura y diámetro basal. El diseño experimental fue con tres tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron podas a 0.75, 1.00 y 1.50 m de altura. Se midieron variables de longitud de brotes, número de brotes, número de hojas y producción de biomasa a los cuatro meses. Paralelamente se determinó el contenido de humedad, ceniza y proteína en hojas. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticas (Tukey, p<0.05) en el crecimiento y supervivencia de los brotes, siendo los tratamientos 1.00 m y 0.75 m de mayor altura para la primera y segunda poda. El T3 presentó 83.31% de humedad, 16.85 % de proteína y 12.3 % de ceniza en la primera poda. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticas (Tukey, p>0.05) en la producción de biomasa, ni tampoco en el contenido de proteína en hojas. Se concluye que, moringa es resistente a podas a baja altura. Las podas incrementan la producción de biomasa y facilitan la cosecha en moringa
