background: the refining process generates large volumes of wastewater containing a variety of chemical contaminants. the use of natural substitutes in treating wastewater which have fewer harmful effects is considered an effective step towards protecting the environment and sustaining the development of these industries. this study focused on the use of moringa oleifera and alum at the wastewa...

Moringa oleifera Lam. (M. oleifera), which belongs to the Moringaceae family, is a perennial deciduous tropical tree, and native to the south of the Himalayan Mountains in northern India. M. oleifera is rich in proteins, vitamin A, minerals, essential amino acids, antioxidants, and flavonoids, as well as isothiocyanates. The extracts from M. oleifera exhibit multiple nutraceutical or pharmacolo...

Moringa oleifera is a common plant and known for various medicinal properties. The research work was conducted to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic extract of leaf Moringa oleifera. In-vitro antimicrobial activity was performed by disc diffusion method in MH agar medium and MIC test. The extract showed significant effect on the ...

Oxidative stress has been identified as one of the factors that affects fertility status. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the inhibitory effect of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera and Newbuoldia laevis leaves on FeSO4 and Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) induced lipid peroxidation in rat testes in vitro. Incubation of the testes tissue homogenate in the presence of FeSO4 and SNP caused...

Moringa oleifera has gained increasing popularity as a food supplement but not in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic area. The aim of this study was the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of extracts from the leaves of Moringa oleifera as a herbal sun care phytocomplex. Three different extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves, from Senegal, have been prepared and chemically characterized in ...

The study was designed to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera and Cajanus cajan leaves on lipid profiles in alloxan induced diabetic albino rats. Diabetes was induced in three groups of rats, one group was not treated while two groups were treated orally with M. oleifera and C. cajan ethanol leaf extracts at 200,400 and 800 mg/kg body weight once for seven days respective...

Objective: Moringa oleifera Lam. is the most widely cultivated species of the monogeneric family Moringaceae and has an impressive range of medicinal uses with high nutritional value. In this study saponin was isolated from Moringa oleifera pods. Methods: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using a mobile phase of Chloroform: methanol: H2O (7:3:1) on silica gel glass plates. High perf...

Exposure of the body organs and systems to pesticides including lindane has found been to cause adverse effects, which affect functionality. Hence, this study was aimed at determining the ability, potency and nature of Moringa oleifera leaf in the protecting testis against lindane induced testicular damage based on some biochemical and histopathological parameters. Adult male rats were orally a...

Chitin binding activity of moringa seed resistant protein (MSRP) isolated from defatted moringa seed flour was investigated in the present study "Characterization of soluble dietary fiber from Moringa oleifera seeds and its immunomodulatory effects" (S. Anudeep, V.K. Prasanna, S.M. Adya, C. Radha, 2016) [1]. The assay reaction mixture contained 0.4 mg/ml of MSRP and different amounts (20-100 mg...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of dry Moringa oleifera leaf powder in the management of anaemia in adult albino rats. The proximate, mineral, vitamin and phytochemical composition of dry M. oleifera leaf powder were analysed. Twelve adult albino rats grouped into three were used. Cyclophosphamide was used to induce anaemia into them. The percentage proximate values were protein (26.28%)...
