Evaluation of the effect of ethanolic leaves extract of Maringa oleifera on Haematological and certain Biochemical parameters was studied. The study assessed Total protein, Albumin, Billirubin for biochemical and PCV, Hb and WBC for haematological indices. Twenty five (25) albino rats of wistar strain (100-175g) were used for the studies and were divided into 5 groups of five (5) rats per each....

Purpose: To explore changes in the characteristics of water-in-oil-based high internal phase emulsion containing Moringa oleifera (Moringa HIPE) extract at various storage conditions and time intervals. Methods: Moringa leaves extract (3 %) was entrapped into HIPE. Color, liquefaction, conductivity, pH, and centrifugation were assessed by keeping the samples of Moringa HIPE at 8, 25, 40 and 40 ...

The moringa tree Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree cultivated across the lowland dry tropics worldwide for its nutritious leaves. Despite its nutritious reputation, there has been no systematic survey of the variation in leaf nutritional quality across M. oleifera grown worldwide, or of the other species of the genus. To guide informed use of moringa, we surveyed protei...

Thirty five growing male goats (6.98±0.86 kg BW) were divided into five equal groups with seven animals in each group. The five dietary treatments were consisted of varying proportions of Moringa foliage (Moringa oleifera) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpurium); T1 (100% Moringa foliage); T2 (75% Moringa foliage+25% napier grass); T3 (50% Moringa foliage+50% napier grass); T4 (25% Moringa foli...

‘Ogi’ was produced from yellow variety of maize to obtain a fermented gruel from ogi and the effect of moringa leaves fortification on the nutritional value and the sensory properties of yellow maize-ogi was investigated. The moringa leaf powder was substituted into yellow maize-ogi in these formulations; 100:0, 90:10 and 85:15. The effects of the moringa leaves powder substitution on the proxi...

A randomized study was conducted to test the efficacy of Moringa powder on iron status and weight gain in women. In an open-labelled randomized trial, 82 moderately anaemic, lactating women, aged 26.7± 6.5 years, received a weekly dose of either 100g of Moringa powder(Moringa group) or 120 mg iron sulphate with 0.5 mg folic acid (Control group). Data from 64 women (33 from Moringa group and 31 ...

Moringa oleifera, a tree indigenous in tropical and sub-tropical areas, has been widely used in water purification in many low-income regions such as Africa, India, and Asia. Its seeds are known to contain proteins that possess coagulating and antimicrobial properties but its use in water treatment is compromised by the corelease of soluble organics in the seeds. These organics can serve as foo...

Labeling information and quality of marketed Moringa oleifera products were assessed. Personnel in 60 pharmacies and 11 herbal shops were interviewed about the sources, dosages, indications and counseling information of Moringa oleifera products. Content analysis of written information provided on Moringa oleifera products was also done. Three samples of Moringa from popular sources were acquir...
