Biochemical Studies on Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of the present study was to examine the physico-chemical properties, fatty acids composition, unsaponifiable matter, tocopherols and phenolic content of Moringa oleifera seed oil from Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. In addition, biological evaluation of this oil was determined. Moringa oil showed a better overall quality, its, acid, peroxide, iodine, saponification values. Sterol fraction was found rich in β-sitosterol (45.11), stigmasterol (19.20%), campesterol (16.90%) and Δ5-avenasterol (10.00%). The major fatty acids were identified as oleic acid (65.00%). These results strongly suggested in potential use Moringa oil as non conventional seed crop for high quality oil.

While anti-oxidant effects of Moringa oleifera in much oxidative stress related diseases have been well reported, cryptorchidism on the other hand has been shown to cause oxidative stress. However, study is scanty on the likely role of Moringa oleifera in reducing cryptorchidism-induced oxidative stress in rats has not been studied. The present study looked into the effects of methanolic extrac...
