• Familial tendency and dietary association of goitre in Gamo-Gofa, Ethiopia.
  Abuye, C., Omwega, A.M. Imungi, J.K. 1999

  Objective: To assess the familial tendency and dietary association of goitre. Design: Cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical components. Setting: Goma-Gofa, south Ethiopia. Subjects: Five hundred and ninety seven elementary school children aged 6-18 years and their biological parents. Results: Prevalence of goitre was found to be 51.7% of which 21.7% was visible goitre. The mean urinary iodine extraction levels indicated adequate dietary intake of iodine by the study group. A significant association (p<0.001) was established for familial tendency of goitre between parents and their children. Consumption of halleko (Moringa stenopetala), a leafy vegetable common in the study area, of more than two times per day was significantly (p<0.005) associated with causation of goitre. Conclusion: These results strongly suggest that goitre prevalence in Gamo-Gofa, Ethiopia is due to familial tendency as well as dietary factors.

• Anti-ulcerogenic evaluation of the methanolic extracts of some indigenous medicinal plants of Pakistan in aspirin-ulcerated rats.
  Akhtar, A.H., Ahmad, K.U. 1995

  Anti-ulcerogenic activity of the methanolic extracts of 4 medicinal plants were studied in aspirin-induced gastric ulcers in rats. Their effects on the volume of gastric juice secreted, acid output, peptic activity, mucin activity and curative ratio were recorded. Bauhinia racemosa (flower buds) decreased the ulcer index significantly, and Moringa pterygosperma (flower buds) showed some decrease in the ulcer index. Trianthema pentandra (whole plant) did not show any decrease in the acid or pepsin content or any increase in mucin; however, it showed a highly significant decrease in the ulcer index. Cordia latifolia (ripened fruit) did not however decrease the ulcer index.

• Effectiveness of a plant polymer as an antioxidant
  Bag B.C., Ghosh A.K. Adhikari B. Maiti S. 0

  A renewable polymer collected as a gum from a local plant (Moringa oleifera) was blended with styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). Tensile properties like 200% modulus, 300% modulus, elongation at break (%), tensile strength and hardness of filled vulcanizates were measured before and after isothermal aging at 100oC for 24, 48 and 72 h in presence of air. The results are compared with a non-polymeric antioxidant additive N-phenyl-N'-isopropyl-p-phenylene diamine (IPPD). The plant polymer is only slightly less effective than IPPD as an antioxidant.

• Effect of some medicinal plants on skin tumor promotion.
  Balboa, J. G., Lim-Sylianco, C. Y. 1996

  The multistage model of carcinogenesis is represented as follows: initiation right arrow promotion right arrow conversion right arrow progression. The skin promotion test was used to study the effect of expressed juices from some medicinal plants on the promotion stage of carcinogenesis. A combination of dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) as the initiator and croton oil as the promoter led to a high incidence of skin tumours in experimental mice after 10 weeks. Expressed juices from lagundi (Vitex negundo ) leaves, ampalaya (Momordica charantia ) fruits, tanglad (Cymbopogon citratus ) roots and malunggay (Moringa oleifera ) leaves reduced appreciably the incidence of skin tumours. However, expressed juice from tanglad leaves did not reduce the incidence of skin tumours initiated by dimethylbenzanthracene and promoted by croton oil.

• Studies of the lignin chemistry of Moringa species.
  Bindhu Dhasmana, Madan, R. N. 1989

  Two types of lignin (ethanol soluble lignin and thiolignin) were isolated from chipped and powdered logs of 2 Moringa species (M. oleifera and M. concenensis [M. concanensis] ). These species yielded 6.2 and 5.8% ethanol soluble lignin and 12.1 and 10.9% of thiolignin, respectively. Both lignins were analysed for elemental composition and functional chemical groups. Methoxyl content varied from 16.8 to 21.6% and total hydroxyl content from 9.7 to 15.3%. Alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation of isolated lignins was also carried out and oxidation products were identified as vanillin and syringaldehyde. IR spectroscopic data from isolated lignin are also reported; bonds of methoxyl, hydroxyl and keto groups were observed.

• Evaluation of hematological and hepatorenal functions of methanolic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. root treated mice
  Mazumber, U.K., Gupta, M. Chakrabarti, S. Pal, D. 1999

  The methanolic extract of M. oleifera roots contained alkaloids (0.2%). The effect of the crude extract (weekly doses of 35, 46 or 70 mg/kg, i.p., and daily doses of 3.5, 4.6 or 7 mg/kg, i.p.) on liver and kidney functions and haematological parameters in mice were studied. Low doses had no effect on haematological and biochemical parameters. In the weekly treatment, a moderate dose changed serum aminotransferase and plasma cholesterol levels significantly, and the high dose additionally changed total bilirubin, non protein nitrogen, blood urea and plasma protein values. In the daily treatment, the high dose affected biochemical parameters. This dose and the moderate and high dose in the weekly treatment increased white blood cell count and decreased clotting time significantly.

• Pharmacological properties of Moringa oleifera. 1. Preliminary screening of antimicrobial activity.
  Caceres, A., Cabrera, O. Morales, O. Mollinedo, P. Mendia, P. 1991

  The antimicrobial activities of Moringa oleifera leaves, roots, bark and seeds were investigated in vitro against bacteria, yeast, dermatophytes and helminths pathogenic to main. By a disk-diffusion method, it was demonstrated that the fresh leaf juice and aqueous extracts from the seeds inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and that extraction temperatures above 56 degrees C inhibited this activity. No activity was demonstrated against four other pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and Candida albicans. By a dilution method, no activity was demonstrated against six pathogenic dermatophytes. A method was standardized for studying the effect of aqueous extracts on Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, but no activity was exibited by any part of the tree in contrast to Chenopodium ambrosioides leaf extracts.

• Pharmacologic properties of Moringa oleifera. 2. Screening for antispasmodic, antiinflammatory and diurectic activity.
  Caceres, A., Saravia, A. Rizzo, S. Zabala, L. Leon, E. de. Nave, F. 1992

  Hot water infusions of flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and stalks or bark of Moringa oleifera were screened to detect three pharmacologic activities in experimental models in rats. The antispasmodic activity was demonstrated using isolated duodenum, oral antiinflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced hindpaw edema and oral diuretic activity by urine output in metabolic cages. The seed infusion showed a significant inhibition of acetylcholine-induced contraction with an ED50 of 65.6 mg/ml bath concentration, inhibition of carrageenan-induced edema at 1000 mg/kg and diuretic activity at 1000 mg/kg. Some activity was also demonstrated in the roots. All doses expressed here are as equivalents of dried starting plant material.

• Chemical composition of some common tree leaves.
  Chakraborti, N., Mandal, L. Banerjee, G. C. 1988

  The chemical composition of leaves taken from 36 trees was estimated and the results are tabulated. All the tree leaves contained more than 9% crude protein, with karanja (Pongamia glabra [P. pinnata] ) containing 42.65%, followed by custard apple (Annona squamosa ) with 27.28%. Other tree leaves which contained appreciable crude protein contents were Alstonia scholaris, Syzygium malaccense, Ziziphus sativa, Butea monosperma, Leucaena leucocephala and Moringa oleifera. Some of the tree leaves were high in lignin. It was concluded that most of the tree leaves are a source of green roughage provided they are free from any anti-nutritional factors.

• Inhibition of nitrosation reaction by some spices/leafy vegetables.
  Krishnakumar, Aruna, Sivaramakrishnan, V. M. Sivaswamy, S. N. 1991

  Nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA) is a potent environmental carcinogen which induces tumours in laboratory animals. It has been demonstrated that triethanolamine (TELA) could undergo nitrosation in vivo under simulated conditions to yield NDEA. Various plant products (cumin [Cuminum cyminum ] seeds, poppy [Papaver somniferum ] seeds, asafoetida [Ferula assa-foetida ], Piper longum, Alternanthera sessilis leaves, Solanum nigrum leaves, Moringa oleifera leaves and Ocimum sanctum leaves) were tested for their ability to inhibit the formation of NDEA from its precursors. Powdered spices and leaf vegetable pastes were added in various concentrations to the nitrosation mixture (25 mM TELA, 100 mM sodium nitrate in 2.5 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate), incubated at 37 deg C for 3 h and the reaction products were centrifuged, separated and the supernatant used for mutagenicity testing against Salmonella typhimurium, tester strain TA 1537. Cumin and poppy seeds significantly inhibited the mutagenicity of the nitrosation products, the effect increasing with increasing concentration. Alternanthera sessilis, Solanum nigrum and Moringa oleifera leaves also exhibited inhibition of mutagenicity.

• Further studies with plant extracts on root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica ) larvae.
  Krishnamurthy, G. V. G., Murthy, P. S. N. Chari, M. S.; Ramaprasad, G. (ed) 1990

  Plant species (44) belonging to millets, pulses, oilseeds, narcotics, horticultural crops and ornamental plants were tested for nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne javanica as water extracts at dilutions of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000. Nicotine and nicotine sulfate were also tested at these dilutions. Observations were taken on larval mortality or otherwise, on 4 consecutive days, by transferring the treated larvae to fresh water daily. The extracts exerted 5 types of responses on the larvae. On this basis, 14 plant species, viz. Sorghum vulgare, Brassica nigra, Nicotiana tabacum, Clerodendron inerme [Clerodendrum inerme ], Catharanthus roseus, Allium sativum, Capsicum annuum, Moringa oleifera, Pongamia glabra [P. pinnata ], Caesalpinia crista, Piper nigrum, Tamarindus indica, Mangifera indica and Chrysanthemum indicum were found to possess higher nematicidal effects than the rest at the 1:10 dilution level, while dilutions of 1:100 and 1:1000 were less effective. In the case of nicotine and nicotine sulfate, all the 3 dilutions showed high nematicidal effects.

• Antiinflammatory effects of Moringa oleifera root extract.
  Ezeamuzie, I.C., Ambakederemo, A.W. Shode, F.O. Ekwebelem, S.C. 1996

  A crude methanol extract of the root of the plant Moringa oleifera Lam. was screened for anti inflammatory effect using the rat paw edema and the rat 6-day air pouch inflammatory models. Following oral administration, the extract inhibited carrageenan-induced rat paw edema in a dose-dependent manner, with 50% inhibitory concentration - IC (dose producing 50% inhibition) of 660 mg kg. On the 6-day air pouch acute inflammation induced with carrageenan, the extract was much more potent, with IC values of 302.0 mg kg and 315.5 mg kg, for the inhibition of cellular accumulation and fluid exudation, respectively. Maximum inhibition obtained with 600 mg kg were 83.8% and 80.0%, respectively. When delayed (chronic) inflammation was induced in the 6-day air pouch model using Freund's complete adjuvant, the extract was still effective though less than in acute inflammation. In contrast a moderate dose of indomethacin (5 mg kg) inhibited the acute, but not the delayed form of air pouch inflammation. Acute toxicity tests in mice suggest very low toxicity. These results suggest that the root of Moringa oleifera contains anti inflammatory principle(s) that may be useful in the treatment of both the acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.

• Isolation and structure elucidation of a novel glycoside niazidin from the pods of Moringa oleifera.
  Faizi, S., Siddiqui, B.S. Saleem, R. Noor, F. Husnain, S. 1997

  Studies on the EtOH extract of fresh pods of Moringa oleifera have resulted in the isolation of a novel glycoside niazidin (1) possessing an O-nitrile thiocarbamate group, along with thiocarbamate, carbamate, and isothiocyanate glycosides. Their structures have been determined through spectral studies, including appropriate 2D NMR experiments and chemical reaction. Fatty acid esters, long-chain hydrocarbons, carbamic acid, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, phenolic esters, nitriles, nitrile ester (3), polysulfide sulfinate (4), and a benzyl thiocarbamate (5), along with elemental sulfur (S), have also been identified through GC-MS.

  Faizi, S., Siddiqui, B.S. Saleem, R. Siddiqui, S. Aftab, K. Gilani, A.H. 1994

  Bioassay-guided analysis of an EtOH extract of M. oleifera leaves (collected from Karachi, Pakistan in Nov. 1990) showing hypotensive activity led to the isolation of 2 nitrile glycosides, niazirin and niazirinin (a new compound), and 3 mustard oil glycosides, 4-[(4'-O -acetyl--L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl]isothiocyanate (isolated for the first time from this source), and niaziminins A and B. Structural determination was accomplished by means of spectroscopic methods including appropriate 2D NMR experiments and chemical reactions. This is the first report of the isolation of nitriles, an isothiocyanate, and thiocarbamates from the same plant species. The 3 mustard oil glycosides (3 mg/kg, i.v.) showed hypotensive activity in anesthetized rats (35-40% fall in mean arterial blood pressure).

• Fully acetylated carbamate and hypotensive thiocarbamate glycosides from Moringa oleifera.
  Faizi, S., Siddiqui, B.S. Saleem, R. Siddiqui, S. Aftab, K. Gilani, A. 1995

  Six new and three synthetically known glycosides have been isolated from the leaves of Moringa oleifera, employing a bioassay-directed isolation method on the ethanolic extract. Most of these compounds, bearing thiocarbamate, carbamate or nitrile groups, are fully acetylated glycosides, which are very rare in nature. Elucidation of the structures was made using chemical and spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR techniques. Thiocarbamates showed hypotensive activity.

• Hypotensive constituents from the pods of Moringa oleifera
  Faizi, Shaneen, Siddiqui, B.S. Saleem, R. Aftab, K. Shaneen, F. Gilani, A. 1998

  Hypotensive activity of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera whole pods and their parts, namely, coat, pulp, and seed was investigated. The activity of the ethanolic extract of both the pods and the seeds was equivalent at the dose of 30 mg kg. The ethyl acetate phase of the ethanolic extract of pods was found to be the most potent fraction at the same dose. Its bioassay-directed fractionation led to the isolation of thiocarbamate and isothiocyanate glycosides which were also the hypotensive principles of the pods as observed in case of Moringa leaves. Two new compounds, O-[2'-hydroxy-3'-(2 -heptenyloxy)]-propyl undecanoate (1) and O-ethyl-4-[( -L-rhamnosyloxy)-benzyl] carbamate (2) along with the known substances methyl p-hydroxybenzoate (3) and -sitosterol have also been isolated in the present studies. The latter two compounds and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde showed promising hypotensive activity. Structures of all these compounds have been deduced by spectroscopy and chemical reactions.

• Anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities of seed extracts of malunggay, Moringa oleifera L. (Moringaceae).
  Guevara, A. P., Vargas, C. Uy, M. 1996

  Seeds of M. oleifera (collected from Bataan and Naga, Philippines) were extracted with distilled ethanol and concentrated under reduced pressure at 40 deg C. The resulting extract was partitioned between hexane, ethylacetate, butanol and water. The solvent fractions were concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude ethanol extracts (3 mg/kg) of dried and green seeds inhibited carrageenan-induced inflammation of the hind paw of mice by 85 and 77%, respectively. The hexane, butanol and water fractions of the crude ethanol extract of dried seeds inhibited inflammation by 77, 34 and 34%, respectively. The ethylacetate fraction caused a 267% increase in inflammation and exhibited toxicity; mice died after oral administration of the fraction. The crude ethanol extract of dried seeds also inhibited the formation of Epstein-Barr virus-early antigen (EBV-EA) induced by 12-O -tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. The extract (100 micro g/ml) inhibited EBV-EA formation by 100% suggesting its antitumour-promoting activity.

• CNS activities of methanolic extract of Moringa oleifera root in mice
  Gupta M., Mazumder U.k. Chakrabarti S. 1999

  Methanolic extract (ME) of the root of Moringa oleifera was tested for possible pharmacological effects on experimental animals. ME potentiated significantly the sleeping time induced by pentobarbitone sodium, diazepam and meprobamate, showed analgesic properties and also potentiated analgesia induced by morphine and pethidine. Pretreatment with ME caused significant protection against strychnine- and leptazol-induced convulsions. The behavioural studies on mice indicate the CNS depressant nature of ME.

  Freis, O., Moser, P. Danoux, L. Gillon, V. Pauly, M. Pauly, G. 2000

  Proteins and their derivatives constitute a broad field of applications in care cosmetics. We hereby introduce three innovating protein active ingredients of botanical origin: proteins from Hibiscus esculentus seeds, proteins from Bambara pea and native peptides from Moringa oleifera seeds. Their physico-chemical characteristics and their amino acid composition will be described. Evaluation tests, in vitro but also ex vivo or in vivo, have displayed some unique effects, linked to their molecular weight, as well as to their composition: effects of cellular nutrition, skin moisturization, skin tensor, anti-skin ageing.

• Hypocholesterolemic effects of crude extract of leaf of Moringa oleifera Lam. in high-fat diet fed wistar rats
  Ghasi S., Nwobodo E. Ofili J.O. 2000

  The leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) are used by the Indians in their herbal medicine as a hypocholesterolemic agent in obese patients. The scientific basis for their use in hypercholesterolemia was therefore examined. It was found that administration of the crude leaf extract of Moringa oleifera along with high-fat diet decreased the high-fat diet-induced increases in serum, liver, and kidney cholesterol levels by 14.35% (115-103.2 mg /100 ml of serum), 6.40% (9.4-8.8 mg/g wet weight) and 11.09% (1.09-0.97 mg/g wet weight) respectively. The effect on the serum cholesterol was statistically significant. No significant effect on serum total protein was observed. However, the crude extract increased serum albumin by 15.22% (46-53 g/l). This value was also found to be statistically significant. It was concluded that the leaves of Moringa oleifera have definite hypocholesterolemic activity and that there is valid pharmacological basis for employing them for this purpose in India.

• Adhesive performance, flammability evaluation and biodegradation study of plant polymer blends
  Ghosh S.N., Maiti S. 1998

  A renewable polymer, collected as gum from a local plant (Moringa oleifera), was dry blended with various rubbers, e.g. natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR), chloroprene rubber (CR) and also with different commodity polymers, viz. polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The plant polymer (PP) was also solution blended with NR and NBR. The adhesive performance of NR, NBR, NR/PP and NBR/PP blends was studied by the 180o peel test. The results were compared with a commercial adhesive (Dhole's rubber solution, India) used as a sealant. Flame retardancy of the plant polymer blends with commodity polymers and rubbers was monitored by limiting oxygen index (LOI) study. Structure-flammability correlations for CR/PP and PVC/PP blends were also reported. Biodegradability of the NR/PP blend was studied by the standard soil burial test and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as optical microscopy.

• Characterization of a flame retardant plant polymer and its influence on the properties of rubber vulcanizate
  Ghosh S.N., Ghosh, A. K. Adhikari, B. Maiti, S. 2000

  A renewable polymer, collected as a gum from a local plant (Moringa Oleifera) was characterized by various techniques viz. solubility, viscosity, IR, elemental analysis etc. It was compounded with various elastomeric systems viz. natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) in order to judge its compatibility in the base polymers. 200% and 300% moduli, tensile strength, elongation at break (%) and hardness of the vulcanizates were measured. Surface morphology of the tear tensile specimen was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Retention of the above mechanical properties after leaching with boiling acetone for 48 h, with water at 30?C for 48 h and isothermal aging at 100?2?C for 72 h of the samples was also measured. The results were compared with those of a non-polymeric fire retardant additive, SbO, in an identical condition, as the plant polymer has shown potential fire retardant properties. Results indicated that the plant polymer-rubber blends showed, in general, improved retention of tensile properties before and after aging and leaching.

• Pharmacological studies on hypotensive and spasmolytic activities of pure compounds from Moringa oleifera.
  Gilani, A.H., Aftab, K. Suria, A. Siddiqui, S. Salem, R. Siddiqui, B.S. Faizi, S. 1994

  Bioassay directed fractionation of an ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera (MO) leaves resulted in the isolation of four pure compounds, niazinin A (1), niazinin B (2), niazimicin (3) and niaziminin A + B (4 + 5). Intravenous administration of either one of the compounds (1-10 mg kg) produced hypotensive and bradycardiac effects in anaesthetized rats. Pretreatment of the animals with atropine (1 mg kg) completely abolished the hypotensive and bradycardiac effects of acetylcholine (ACh), whereas cardiovascular responses to the test compounds remained unaltered, ruling out the possible involvement of muscarinic receptor activation. In isolated guinea-pig atria all the compounds (50-150 g mL) produced negative isotropic and chronotropic effects

• Toxicity and mutagenicity evaluation of water coagulated with Moringa oleifera seed preparations using fish, protozoan, bacterial, coliphage, enzyme and Ames Salmonella assays.
  Grabow, W., Slabbert, J.L. Morgan, W.S.G. Jahn, S.A.A. 1985

  In rural Sudan, powdered seeds of the tree Moringa oleifera are used to purify drinking water by coagulation. In trials, the powder was toxic to guppies (Poecilia reticulata ), protozoa (Tetrahymena pyriformis ) and bacteria (Escherichia coli ) and it inhibited acetylcholinesterase. It had no effect on coliphages, lactic dehydrogenase or invertase and the equivalent of cotyledon powder up to 1000 mg/litre had no mutagenic effect on Salmonella. Pericarp had no effect. Powdered cotyledon 5 mg/litre affected oxygen uptake of T. pyriformis, 30 to 40 mg/litre disturbed locomotion of guppies and the 96-h LC50 for guppies was 196 mg/litre. Toxic effects may have been due to 4(alpha-L-rhamnosyloxy) benzyl isothiocyanate, a glycosidic mustard oil. The toxin seemed not to be a danger to the health of man, at least not in the concentrations present during the use of the seeds for nutrition, medicine or water purification.

• An antitumor promoter from Moringa oleifera Lam.
  Guevara A.P., Vargas C. Sakurai H. Fujiwara Y. Hashimoto K. Maoka T. Kozuka M. Ito Y. Tokuda H. Nishino H. 1999

  In the course of studies on the isolation of bioactive compounds from Philippine plants, the seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam. were examined and from the ethanol extract were isolated the new O-ethyl-4-( -l-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl carbamate (1) together with seven known compounds, 4( -l-rhamnosyloxy)-benzyl isothiocyanate (2), niazimicin (3), niazirin (4), -sitosterol (5), glycerol-1-(9-octadecanoate) (6), 3-O-(6'-O-oleoyl- -d-glucopyranosyl)- -sitosterol (7), and -sitosterol-3-O- -d-glucopyranoside (8). Four of the isolates (2, 3, 7, and 8), which were obtained in relatively good yields, were tested for their potential antitumor promoting activity using an in vitro assay which tested their inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus-early antigen (EBV-EA) activation in Raji cells induced by the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). All the tested compounds showed inhibitory activity against EBV-EA activation, with compounds 2, 3 and 8 having shown very significant activities. Based on the in vitro results, niazimicin (3) was further subjected to in vivo test and found to have potent antitumor promoting activity in the two-stage carcinogenesis in mouse skin using 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) as initiator and TPA as tumor promoter. From these results, niazimicin (3) is proposed to be a potent chemo-preventive agent in chemical carcinogenesis.

• Screening of plant species for inhibition of bacterial population of raw water
  Kumar, Sheo, Gopal, K. 1999

  Seven plant species i.e., Adhatoda vasica, Andrographis paniculata, Azadirachta indica, Lawsonia inermis, Moringa oleifera, Ocimum sanctum and Trigonella foenum-graecum have been screened out systematically for their effectiveness in inhibition of bacterial population of raw water (in vitro) at variable pH level i.e., 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0. Maximum percentage inhibition was observed in three plant species at 6.5 pH level while in four plant species at 7.0 pH level. Among all the studied plants, maximum inhibition was recorded in case of L. inermis (93.97%) which was followed by M. oleifera (89.72%) and A. vasica (81.75%). In order of maximum to minimum inhibition, individual plant species depicted their effectiveness in the following manner : L. inermis>M. oleifera>A. vasica>A. indica>O. sanctum>A. paniculata>T. foenum-graecum. Besides, MPN coliform and E. coli were also inhibited maximum at 7.0 pH level by the extract of L. inermis which was followed by A. vasica and M. oleifera at 6.5 pH level. Hence, these plant species may be used for elimination of bacterial contaminants of raw drinking water obtained directly from the sources to reduce the occurrence of different water borne diseases.

  Extracts of 17 plant species were prepared by collecting root sap from a press (15 000 lb/cm3) and centrifuging off the supernatant. All extracts significantly reduced egg hatch of Meloidogyne incognita. 14 were significantly more active than DBCP at 300 ppm and 8 completely suppressed egg hatch. Root invasion and nematode development on tomatoes was completely suppressed by extracts of 6 species and DBCP at 150 and 300 ppm. Egg mass immersion for 4 days in 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000 dilutions of root extracts was progressively less effective in reducing subsequent infectivity, though at 1:10 dilution the extract of 3 species, Moringa pterygosperma, Tagetes erecta and Mimosa pudica were more effective in reducing root invasion of tomatoes by M. incognita larvae than DBCP at 300 ppm.

• Cardiovascular effects of the aqueous extract of Moringa pterygosperma.
  Limaye, D.A., Nimbkar, A.Y. Jain, R. Ahmad, M. 1995

  The aqueous extract of stem bark of Moriga pterygosperma (Family Moraingaceae) was investigated for its effect on various pharmacological parameters. In cardiovascular profile at lower concentrations (1-10 ng) it produced a dose dependent positive inotropic effect (n = 3, 1.29 ? 0.021 for 10 ng) and at higher concentrations (0.1-1 g) a dose dependent negative inotropic effect (n = 3,0.53 ? 0.033 for 1 g) on the isolated frog heart. It also a dose dependent hypotensive effect on dog blood pressure (n = 3, 82 ? 0.98 for 20 mg kg). It failed to elicit any effect on isolated guinea-pig ileum, rat stomach fundus or frog rectus abdominis muscle

  Makonnen, E., Hunde, A. Damecha, G. 1997

  The hypoglycaemic effect of Moringa stenopetala extract was assessed in nondiabetic rabbits by blood glucose analysis. In vivo experiments were carried out in rabbits that received the test material and the standard, glibenclamide. The plant extract, although less potent than glibenclamide, was found to lower blood glucose concentration. The hypoglycaemic effect was observed to increase with time and with an increase in the dose of the extract.

• Documentation on the uses of Moringa stenopetala and its possible antileishmanial and antifertility effects.
  Mekonnen, Y., Gessesse, A. 1998

  A study of the uses of Moringa stenopetala in Arbaminch and surrounding villages and the Wollayeta Sodo area in southern Ethiopia showed that the fresh leaves are eaten as a vegetable. The leaves and the roots are also used for treating various diseases. According to the practice of the local people, the leaves boiled in water can be used in curing malaria, hypertension and stomach pain. They sometimes use the leaves to expel the retained placenta in pregnant women. The roots chopped and mixed with water are used mainly for malaria treatment. Crude ethanol extracts of leaves and roots were tested separately on Leishmania donovani MHOM/ET/89/IPB 399 promastigotes. The serially diluted crude extracts produced abnormal morphologies of the promastigotes after 48 h of incubation. The dilutions used were high. The antifertility effect of the leaf ethanol extract in Swiss albino mice was found to be 73.3%, assuming mating to be 100%.

• Effects of ethanol extract of Moringa stenopetala leaves on guinea-pig and mouse smooth muscle.
  Mekonnen, Y., 1999

  The fresh leaf ethanol (LE) extract of Moringa stenopetala was tested in guinea-pig ileum and mouse duodenum and in uterus strips. There were significant dose and time dependent reductions of the acetylcholine (AC) response with initial stimulatory effects in both the guinea-pig ileum and the mouse duodenum preparations. Spontaneous rhythmic contractions were greatly reduced, suggesting an antispasmodic property of the crude LE extract. The LE extract showed some oxytocic activity on uterus strips of guinea-pigs and mice. The results are indicative of the traditional use of the leaves of Moringa stenopetala for stomach pain and to expel retained placentae by women.

• Traditional medicine in the treatment of parasitic diseases in the Philippines.
  Monzon, R. B., 1995

  Parasitic diseases are a continuing public health problem in the Philippines. Soil-transmitted helminthiases (ascariasis, trichuriasis, etc) are the most prevalent especially among children. Other major parasitic infections that cause significant mortality and morbidity in the population are malaria, lymphatic filariasis and schistosomiasis. Since these parasitic infections are more prevalent in the rural areas of the country, traditional drugs (medicinal plants) have evolved for some of them. These have been passed on through folkloric tradition and are propagated by traditional medicine men known as herbolarios . It is essential that these alternative chemotherapeutic agents be scientifically tested in order to ensure their safety and effectivity for the human population that depends on such. Among the plants that have been identified to have antihelminthic properties are: Anona reticulata (custard apple), Areca catechu (areca of betelnut palm), Quisqualis indica ( niyog-niyogan or Chinese honeysuckle), Leucaena leucocephala ( ipil-ipil ), Carica papaya (papaya), Cassia alata ( alapulko or ringworm bush) and Ananas comosus ( pinya or pineapple). The only suspected antiprotozoal drug is an antimalarial - Alstonia scholaris ( dita or Australian quinine bark). There are also traditional drugs claimed to be effective against parasitic infestations (scabies andpediculosis) such as: Melaleuca leucadendron (cajeput oil tree), Tinospora crispa ( makabuhay ), Phyllanthus nirui ( sampasampalukan or egg woman), Cissampelos pareira ( sinsaw-sinsawan ), Moringa oleifera ( malunggay or horse-radish tree), Gliricidia sepium ( kakawati ), Cassia alata ( akapulko or ringworm bush), Plumeria acutifolia ( kalatsutsi or frangipani) and Anona squamosa ( atis or custard apple). In vitro and in vivo laboratory trials always precede human clinical trials due to ethical guidelines. Plants with antihelminthic potential may be screened in vivo indirectly, by observing their effects on animals infected with parasites that are taxonomically and physiologically similar to their human counterparts. In vitro studies are also possible with larger species such as Ascaris lumbricoides which can be maintained in physiological solutions and attached to kymograms. Antimalarial properties may be tested in vivo using the Plasmodium berghei - mouse model (Yoeli, 1965) or in vitro using Trager and Jensen's (1976) continuous culture method for P. falciparum. Traditional drugs for the treatment of parasitic diseases should be explored and developed since they are cheaper and more accessible to the rural poor who have the greatest need for medical treatment. Likewise, they may offer an alternative solution to the emerging problem of drug resistance which is a common phenomenon especially among the synthetic and more expensive Western drugs that developing countries have become dependent on.

• Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis of genetic variation in Moringa oleifera Lam.
  Muluvi, G.M., Sprent, J.I. Soranzo, N. Provan, J. Odee, D. Folkard, G. McNicol, J.W. Powell, W. 1999

  Moringa oleifera is an important multipurpose tree introduced to Africa from India at the turn of this century. Despite limited knowledge of the levels of genetic diversity and relatedness of introduced populations, their utilization as a source of seed for planting is widespread. In order to facilitate reasoned scientific decisions on its management and conservation and prepare for a selective breeding programme, genetic analysis of seven populations was performed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. The four pairs of AFLP primers (PstI/MseI) generated a total of 236 amplification products of which 157 (66.5%) were polymorphic between or within populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed significant differences between regions and populations, even though outcrossing perennial plants are expected to maintain most variation within populations. A phenetic tree illustrating relationships between populations suggested at least two sources of germplasm introductions to Kenya. The high levels of population differentiation detected suggest that provenance source is an important factor in the conservation and exploitation of M. oleifera genetic resources.

• Niaziminin, a thiocarbamate from the leaves of Moringa oleifera, holds a strict structural requirement for inhibition of tumor-promoter-induced Epstein-Barr virus activation.
  Murakami, A., Kitazono, Y. Jiwajinda, S. Koshimizu, K. Ohigashi, H. 1998

  Three known thiocarbamate (TC)- and isothiocyanate (ITC)-related compounds have been isolated from the leaves of Moringa oleifera, a traditional herb in southeast Asia, as inhibitors of tumor promoter teleocidin B-4-induced Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activation in Raji cells. Interestingly, only niaziminin among 10 TCs including 8 synthetic ones showed considerable inhibition against EBV activation. The structure-activity relationships indicated that the presence of an acetoxy group at the 4'-position of niaziminin is important and indispensable for inhibition. On the other hand, among the ITC-related compounds, naturally occurring 4-[(4'-O-acetyl- -L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyI]ITC and commercially available allyl- and benzyl-ITC significantly inhibited activation, suggesting that the isothiocyano group is a critical structural factor for activity.

• Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of some medicinal plants.
  Muruganandan, S.., Srinivasan, K. Tandan, S. K. Jawahar Lal Suresh Chandra Raviprakash, V 2001

  The antiinflammatory and analgesic activities of 70% ethanolic extracts of some medicinal plants (Aegle marmelos, Butea frondosa [Butea monosperma ], Delonix regia, Eugenia jambolana [Syzygium cumini ], Moringa oleifera, Pinus longifolia [Pinus roxburghii ], Pongamia pinnata and Psidium guajava collected from Uttar Pradesh, India) were investigated in rats using the carrageenin-induced hind paw oedema model. Extracts which exhibited antiinflammatory activity were screened for analgesic activity using the Randall-Selitto method in rats. The extracts were administered at a dose of 300 mg/kg, p.o. Aspirin (300 mg/kg, p.o.) was employed as the reference drug. D. regia bark and Pongamia pinnata seeds showed significant antiinflammatory activity with percentage inhibitions of 70.95 and 64.91, respectively. Psidium guajava leaves, A. marmelos bark and D. regia flowers also showed significant antiinflammatory activity with percentage inhibitions of 39.93, 34.82 and 58.27%, respectively. When analgesic activity was tested using the paw pressure test (measured as pain threshold pressure in g), Pongamia pinnata seeds and leaves (166.67 plus or minus 14.58 and 162.50 plus or minus 19.05) and E. jambolana bark produced significant analgesic effects at 1 and 3 h after administration. The bark (135.83 plus or minus 14.78) and flowers (160.00 plus or minus 23.90) of D. regia significantly increased the pain threshold at 1 h after administration but failed to show analgesia at 3 h (109.16 plus or minus 13.68 and 115.20 plus or minus 17.60, respectively).

• Commonly use Indian abortifacient plants with special reference to their teratologic effects in rats.
  Nath, D., Sethi, N. Singh, R.K. Jain, A.K. 1992

  A survey programme was organised in Lucknow and Farrukhabad, two towns of Uttar Pradesh, from March 1987 to July 1987. During the survey, the common folk medicine plants used by women were recorded and Ayurvedic and Unani drug encyclopedias were consulted for the antireproductive potential of these plants. Aqueous or 90% ethanol extracts of the plants of interest were studied in rats orally dosed for 10 days after insemination with special reference to effects on foetal development. Leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera and Adhatoda vasica were 100% abortive at doses equivalent to 175 mg/kg of starting dry material. Only the flowers of Acacia arabica and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis appeared to lack teratologic potential at the doses tested.

• Role of Moringa oleifera leaf extract in the regulation of thyroid hormone status in adult male and female rats
  Tahiliani, P., Kar, A. 1999

  The role of Moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract in the regulation of thyroid hormone status, was studied in adult Swiss rats. Other than the thyroid hormone concentrations, hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were evaluated. In the first experiment, effects of the leaf extract (175 mg kg-1body wt. day-1for 10 days) were studied both in male and female animals. Following the administration of the extract, serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentration and hepatic LPO decreased with a concomitant increase in the serum thyroxine (T4) concentration, in female rats, while in males no significant changes were observed, suggesting that Moringa oleifera leaf extract is more effective in females than in the males. To evaluate the impact of a higher dose, in the second experiment, the study was repeated in female rats, with 350 mg kg-1body wt. day-1for the same duration. Almost similar reduction in the serum T3concentration (approx. 30%) and an increase in the T4concentration were observed suggesting the inhibiting nature of Moringa oleifera leaf extract in the peripheral conversion of T4to T3, the principal source of the generation of latter hormone. As the antiperoxidative effects were exhibited only by the lower dose and percent decrease in T3concentration was nearly the same by both the doses, it is suggested that the lower concentration of this plant extract may be used for the regulation of hyperthyriodism.

• Preliminary studies of the antifungal activities of some medicinal plants against Basidiobolus and some other pathogenic fungi
  Nwosu, M.O., Okafor, J.I. 1995

  The antifungal activities of extracts of 10 medicinal plants collected from south-eastern parts of Nigeria were tested against seven pathogenic fungi using the broth dilution and agar plate methods. All the extracts at 1: 10 dilution inhibited the growth of Basidiobolus haptosporus and B. ranarum but did not inhibit that of Aspergillus fumigatus, Geotrichum candidum and Candida albicans. While extracts from Piper guineense, Ocimum gratissimum, Moringa oleifera and Erythrophleum suaveolens inhibited the growth of Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, those from Jatropha curcas, Mitracarpus villosus, Azadirachta indica and Gongronema latifolium failed to do so at 1:10 dilution. Extract from Piper sp. was also able to inhibit the growth of B. haptosporus at a concentration as low as 1:80 dilution followed by those of Ocimum and Rauvolfia spp. at 1:40 dilution. These results indicate possible use of certain plant extracts in the treatment of subcutaneous phycomycosis in humans and animals.

  Pal, M., Mukherjee, P. K. Saha, B. P. Pal, M. Saha, B. P. 1996

  The methanol extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. was investigated for some psychopharmacological actions in animals. The extract was found to produce a significant alteration in general behavioural pattern by head dip test, Y-maze test, evasion test, and reduction in muscle relaxant activity by rotarod test, chimney test and traction test. Beside these, the extract also potentiated pentobarbitone induced sleeping time and lowered body temperature in experimental animals.

  The MeOH extract of leaves of M. oleifera (collected from West Bengal, India) was investigated for psychopharmacological actions in mice and rats. The extract significantly altered general behavioural patterns (decreased head dip responses, reduced exploratory behaviour and inhibited curiosity), and reduced motor coordination and muscle tone in the rotarod, chimney and traction tests. The extract also potentiated pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time and lowered body temperature in experimental animals.

• Chemical investigation of aqueous extract of the mature and premature flowers of Moringa oleifera (Sajina) and structural studies of a polysaccharideisolated from it's premature flowers
  Pramanik, A., Islam, Syed Siraiul 1998

  The aqueous extract of the mature flowers of Moringa oleifera collected in West Bengal contained the free neutral sugars D-mannose and D-glucose in the ratio 1:5 and 2 unidentified carbohydrate bearing materials along with proteins and ascorbic acid, but no polysaccharide. In contrast, the the aqueous extract of pre-mature flowers was composed of the above materials (with varying proportions) and a polysaccharide (PS) which on hydrolysis gave D-glucose, D-Galactose and D-glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1.0:1.9:0.9. Using methylation, periodate oxidation and partial hydrolysis studies, a plausible structure was been assigned to the repeating unit of the PS.

• In vivo radioprotective effect of Moringa oleifera leaves.
  Rao, A.V., Devi, P.U. Kamath, R. 2001

  Radioprotective property of Moringa oleifera leaves was investigated in healthy adult Swiss albino mice. Animals were injected (ip) with 150 mg/kg body weight of 50 methanolic extract (ME) of M. oleifera leaves, as a single dose, or in 5 daily fractions of 30 mg/kg each, and exposed to whole body gamma irradiation (RT, 4 Gy) 1 hr later. Five animals from each group were sacrificed at 1, 2 and 7 days after treatment. Bone marrow protection was studied by scoring aberrations in metaphase chromosomes and micronucleus induction in polychromatic erythrocytes and normochromatic erythrocytes. Pretreatment with a single dose of 150 mg/kg ME significantly reduced the percent aberrant cells to 2/3rd that of RT alone group on day 1 and brought the values to normal range by day 7 post-irradiation. A similar effect was also seen for the micronucleated cells. Fractionated administration of ME (30 mg/kg x 5) gave a higher protection than that given by the same dose administered as a single treatment. ME also inhibited the Fenton reaction-generated free radical activity in vitro in a concentration dependent manner. These results demonstrate that pretreatment with the methanolic leaf extract of M. oleifera confers significant radiation protection to the bone marrow chromosomes in mice and this may lead to the higher 30 day survival after lethal whole body irradiation.

  The roots of M. pterygosperma [M. oleifera ], which have many medicinal uses including as a carminative, stomachic, abortifacient, cardiac tonic and in paralytic conditions, rheumatism, liver disease, asthma and epilepsy, were obtained from a commercial source in Vadodara, India. The roots of M. pterygosperma in powder and extract form were studied for their antiinflammatory and antihepatotoxic activities in rats. The methanolic extract showed significant oedema suppressant activity against carrageenan-induced paw oedema similar to that of indomethacin. The aqueous extract showed significant activity against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity, total aqueous extract against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity and methanolic extract against rifampicin-induced hepatotoxicity.

• Absorption of aluminium ions by some raw food items and effect of some natural chelating compounds on the absorption.
  Rao, T. V. R. K., Tuhina Vijay 2001

  A study was conducted to examine the absorption of aluminium (Al) ions by some raw food items (rice, horsegram, potato, and drumstick and tea leaves) and the effect of some natural chelating compounds (lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, or succinic acids) on Al absorption by these foods. Absorption of aluminium ions by the raw food items is tabulated indicating that all the 5 foods had taken 1 h to complete the absorption. The inhibition efficiency of natural chelating compounds towards aluminium absorption by the food items is given indicating that lactic acid was the most effective inhibitor of Al absorption, showing 63-78% inhibition except in case of drumstick leaves. It is suggested that the inhibitory effect on Al absorption by foods, by different chelating agents is highly specific.

• The metabolic status of traumatic gum ducts in Moringa oleifera Lam.
  Subrahmanyam, S. V., Shah, J. J. 1988

  Samples of normal and injured barks of M. oleifera were examined microscopically and tested for presence of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), acid phosphatase (ACPase) and lipase. Results show that gum ducts develop lysigenously in the bark as a result of injury. The phloem parenchyma cells at the locus of gum duct formation enlarge and are enriched with cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. These duct initials show higher SDH and ACPase activity than neighbouring cells. The duct initials undergo autolysis to form the duct lumen, whose epithelial cells are richer in SDH, ACPase, lipase, nucleic acids, proteins and insoluble polysaccharides than those of neighbouring cells. The epithelial cells show labyrinthine wall deposition; these deposits are greater on the duct lumen side than on the radial wall side. The inner tangential wall of the epithelial cells facing the duct lumen appears swollen. The degenerating epithelial cells show diffuse reaction products of SDH and ACPase; some accumulate phenolics and by autolysis of such cells, phenolic contents are released into the gum duct.

  Aqueous extracts of 4 plant materials used as indigenous drugs (leaves of Aloe barbadensis and Tridax procumbens ; roots + root bark of Aegle marmelos and Moringa oleifera ) were studied for their effects on both normal and steroid-depressed healing of wounds. The herbals not only promoted healing but also overcame the depression of healing caused by dexamethasone. The increased lysyl oxidase activity induced by these plant preparations could be responsible for their wound-healing activity. Raised levels of nucleic acids indicate that the action may be at the cellular level.

• Studies on the anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties of Moringa oleifera and Aegle marmelos
  Udupa, S. L., Udupa, A.L. Kulkarni, D. R. 1994

  The root extracts of M. oleifera and A. marmelos (collected from India) were studied for their antiinflammatory and wound healing properties. Antiinflammatory action was studied by observing the reduction in carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema at 3 h. Wound healing effects were studied in incision (skin breaking strength), excision (% wound contraction and epithelization time), and dead space (granuloma breaking strength and biochemical parameters) wound models. Both extracts showed significant acute antiinflammatory activity; only the A. marmelos extract significantly suppressed chronic inflammation. A significant increase in skin tensile strength, lysyl oxidase activity and hexosamine content were observed in the M. oleifera -treated animals, indicating a pro-healing action probably due to better cross-linking of collagen. A. marmelos was more effective as an antiinflammatory agent.

• Effect of some Indian vegetables on the glucose and insulin response in diabetic subjects.
  William, F., Lakshminarayanan, S. Chegu, H. 1993

  Blood glucose and corresponding insulin values in response to 3 commonly used vegetables in southern India in an isocarbohydrate meal were compared with the values achieved in response to glucose 75 g in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients. The meal contained available carbohydrate 73-79 g, protein 10-13.5 g, fat 5 g and crude fibre 0.5-1.3 g. The vegetables tested were bittergourd (Momordica charantia ), curry leaves (Murrya koiengii ) and drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera ). The incremental areas of the standard meal without the vegetable and the test meal with any one of the vegetables were significantly reduced compared with glucose 75 g. Blood glucose responses (% mean plus or minus s.e.m.) of meals containing bittergourd, curry leaves or drumstick leaves were 72 plus or minus 10, 60 plus or minus 7 and 56 plus or minus 4, respectively, compared with glucose 75 g, and 88 plus or minus 7, 97 plus or minus 6 and 79 plus or minus 5, respectively, compared with the standard meal without any vegetables. Plasma insulin responses to test meals and glucose did not differ significantly from each other. It is concluded that the reduced blood glucose response to drumstick leaves is not due to insulin secretion and that the factors responsible for these changes need further evaluation.

• Role of natural epizootics of a NPV disease in controlling Prosopis juliflora defoliator Taragama siva outbreak in North-West Rajasthan.
  Ahmed, S. I., Shivesh Kumar 1998

  The field population of Taragama siva [Streblote siva] , a polyphagous forest insect pest, was noticed severely infected with a nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV), at Jodhpur and in adjacent localities of Rajasthan, India, during August-September 1995. Further field studies showed a high incidence of the disease in the young larval population of the pest. Samples of late instar larvae collected in the field from the 6 tree species to which the pest was mainly confined (Prosopis juliflora, Acacia nilotica, Moringa oleifera, Zizyphus mauritiana [Ziziphus mauritiana], Tecomella undulata, Prosopis cineraria ) showed 87.6-96.66% mortality (depending on the tree species) in the laboratory, most of which was due to NPV infection rather than other causes. The number of cocoons formed at the end of outbreak was extremely low. There was good evidence to suggest that the virus infection was the main cause in the sudden collapse of pest population in the field.

• Major insect pests of forest trees in north Bihar.
  Ali, M. S., Chaturvedi, O. P. Nair, K. S. S.: Sharma, J. K.; Varma, R. V. (ed) 1996

  Insect pests and disease causative pathogens affect seedlings and plantations in early and post growth sequences of forest production systems, saplings and sometimes mature trees. Insect pest were observed in the field during April to September, with a lull during November to February. Termites (Microtermes spp.; Odontotermes sp.), white grub (Holotrichia consanguinea and H. serrata ), brown field cricket (Brachytrupes portentosus [Tarbinskiellus portentosus ]) and Bihar hairy caterpillar (Spilosoma obliqua [Spilarctia obliqua ]) were the major nursery insect pests causing subterranean damage of 4-40% of seedlings. Other insect pests, such as the bark borer (Indarbela quadrinotata ), teak defoliator/skeletonizer (Hyblaea puera and Eutectona machaeralis ), sissoo defoliator (Plecoptera reflexa .) and Karanj leaf miner (Lithocolletis virgulata [Cameraria virgulata ]), though low in numbers, sometimes caused damage to the saplings and mature trees. Major trees infested by different insect pests were Dalbergia sissoo, Tectona grandis, Moringa oleifera catechu, Gmelina arborea, Ziziphus jujuba [Ziziphus mauritiana ], Pongamia pinnata and Ricinus communis .

• A contribution to the diversity of insects with reference to pollination mechanism in some angiosperms.
  Ashoke Bhattacharya, Sudhendu Mandal 2000

  Pollination is an important phenomenon for gene recombination as a result of which genetic and species diversity is promoted. Regular observation on the pollination mechanism of five angiosperm plants belonging to three families namely Lantana camara Linn. (Verbenaceae), Moringa oleifera Lamk. (Moringaceae), Syzygium jambos (Linn.) Alston. (Myrtaceae), Tectona grandis Linn. f. (Verbenaceae) and Vitex negundo Linn. (Verbenaceae) revealed that different members of Thysanoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, etc. visited flowers and enhanced pollinating potential. All the plants showed diurnal anthesis. Pollen-ovule ratio per flower was found to be variable. Netting and bagging of flowers indicated that the external agents might be required for successful fruit setting which some times varied depending upon the availability of effective pollinators.

• Agroforestry, attitude towards risk and nutrient availability: a case study of south Indian farming systems.
  Babu, S. C., Rajasekaran, B. 1991

  The introduction of two systems of agroforestry to the farmers' portfolio is evaluated for their changes in cropping pattern, input use, income generation, farmers' attitude towards risk, and nutrient availability. Two different types of farming system were studied: irrigated and dryland. Otherwise, the areas studied (the Sarkar Samakulam block of Coimbatore district for the irrigated farms; and the Vembakulam block of Madurai district for the dryland farms; both in Tamil Nadu) were similar in their soil properties and cropping patterns: crops grown were cotton, sorghum and finger millet (both systems), rice (irrigated farming only) and chillies (dryland farming only). The two agroforestry systems introduced were growing either drumstick (Moringa oleifera ) or Leucaena leucocephala on the bunds of crop fields. Farm survey data were collected from 165 farmers in 1985 and were analysed within a mean-variance framework using a quadratic programming model to identify the risk aversion levels of the farmers. The results indicate that the risk-taking preferences of farmers should be given consideration in evaluating the effect of agroforestry systems. Between the two agroforestry systems analysed, the one with drumstick is shown to increase the risk of crop production while the one with leucaena reduces the risk and enables farmers to invest in more risky cash crops. The effect of agroforestry on crop allocation, input use and income differs due to the differences in resource availability of the farmers. The influence of agroforestry on nutrient availability of the farm households (data are given for energy, protein, calcium and vitamins A and C) also differs based on the agroforestry components, orientation (subsistence or market) of the farming and the nature of farming systems. It is argued that the design of agroforestry systems should consider differences in resource constraints in farming systems and risk attitudes of farmers towards their allocation decisions, and that such considerations would greatly enhance the successful adoption of agroforestry in developing countries.

• Nodulation and nitrogenase activity in Vigna mungo in response to the seed-soaking and root-dressing treatments of Moringa leaf extracts
  Bandana Bose, Srivastava, R. C. Mathur, S. N. 1987

  Effects of 0.04, 0.08, 0.16 and 0.24% ethanolic extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves on nodulation and nitrogenase activity in V. mungo applied as a seed or a root dressing were studied. Both application methods increased nodule number/plant. FW and DW of nodules also increased with both application methods. Max. DW of nodules at 30 days was 8.5 and 7.8 mg/plant with 0.08% ethanolic residue applied by seed-soaking and root-dressing, resp. The lower 2 concn of extract were the most effective in increasing nitrogenase activity irrespective of application method.

  Beutler, A. N., Fernandes, L. A. Faquin, V. 2001

  An experiment was carried out at the Soil Science Department of Universidade Federal de Lavras, in Lavras (MG), in November 1998, to study the effect of aluminum on the initial growth of two forest species, under greenhouse conditions using a nutrient solution. After two weeks in dilute nutrient solution to 1 3 and without aluminum, two Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and two Angico (Anandenantha peregrina) plants were transplanted to 1.5 L pots, and grown in nutrient solution. The aluminum levels were 0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 mg L, with pH 4.0 ? 0.2, adjusted daily during 70 days. Plant height was evaluated and plants were divided in aerial part and root, to determine dry matter and content of N and P. The increasing aluminum levels progressively reduced plant height and root dry matter production in both species, and the aerial part in the Angico plant. Nitrogen content in the Moringa plant reduced with increasing aluminum levels. Phosphorus content in the Moringa andAngico aerial parts reduced with aluminum levels above 5.0 mg L in the nutrient solution.

• Phytotoxic effects of tree crops on germination and radicle extension of some food crops.
  Bhatt, B. P., Chauhan, D. S. Todaria, N. P. 1993

  Aqueous leaf and bark extracts of some agroforestry tree crops were tested for their phytotoxic (allelopathic) effects on germination and radicle extension of leguminous food crops of the region. Foliar and bark extracts of Adina cordifolia and Grewia oppositifolia inhibited the germination of Dolichos biflorus [Macrotyloma uniflorum] and Glycine max. The phytotoxic effects of the tree crops were species specific, because Phaseolus lunatus and P. mungo [Vigna mungo] were not significantly affected. A. cordifolia, G. oppositifolia, Moringa oleifera and Holoptelea integrifolia were generally more phytotoxic than Celtis australis or Ougeinia oojeinensis. Radicle extension of all four test crops was significantly reduced by all the tree crops tested except O. oojeinensis and C. australis .

• Insect pests of vegetables and their control--drumsticks
  Butani, D. K.., Verma, S 1981

  The drumsticks tree (Moringa oleifera) in India and other regions of Asia and Africa has parts that are edible or medicinal and is cultivated in the plains beneath the Himalayas mainly for its tender pods, flowers and young leaves, which are eaten as vegetables. Notes are given on the morphology, habits, and chemical or cultural control of about 20 species of insects infesting M. oleifera and on the damage that they cause to the different parts of the tree; the insects are arranged under the headings of hairy caterpillars, leaf-eating caterpillars, trunk borer, sap-sucking insects, bud borers, and beetles and weevils. An annotated list is appended of 30 species of insects and mites recorded on M. oleifera in India; these include nearly all those mentioned in the notes and also some lasiocampids, noctuids, drosophilids and eriophyid mites that appear not to have been recorded as economic pests.

• Moringa oleifera for food and water purification - selection of clones and growing of annual short stem
  Jahn, S. A. A., 1989

  M. oleifera is a tropical multipurpose tree which is readily propagated from seeds or cuttings. Both in India, its country of origin, and in other areas of cultivation, the yield and quality of seeds is highly variable, ranging from 1500 to 2000/year in Java (cuttings) to 20000 to 24000/year in Tamil Nadu, India (seed-propagated). The latter large-seeded clones were collected in the kitchen garden of a college and the nursery of a horticultural research station. A sample from Burundi was derived from trees planted by Zaire fishermen and subsequently abandoned. Clones were small-seeded in Indonesia where Moringa is primarily grown for its leaves. By contrast, trees in the Antilles and Central America had been selected for oil yield, leading to many large-seeded genotypes. Comparative water treatment experiments, in which powdered seed extracts are used to purify drinking water, indicated that seed size does not affect purification efficacy. Mature seeds gave more satisfactory results than sun-dried green seeds of equal size. The annual short-stemmed M. oleifera variety from Kudumiamalai, Tamil Nadu, is suitable for consumption, oil extraction and water purification. Recommendations on its cultivation are presented.

• Cutting interval and tree age at first cutting affect herbage production of six hedgerow tree species.
  Calub, B. M., 1998

  Contour hedgerows of 6 species were raised by direct sowing [date not given] on an acid ultisol at Los Ba?os, Philippines. Plants were at 25 cm within-row and 3 m between-row spacing, with hedgerows 5 m long. Occasional watering and weeding were done during the first 2 months after sowing. Plants were allowed to establish for 6, 9 or 12 months before the first cutting was done and subsequent cuttings were done every 8, 12 or 16 weeks. Biomass production (leaf and wood) was measured at each cutting; the experiment lasted for 3 years. Tree age at first cutting affected dry matter yield and leafy biomass proportion. In the first year total dry matter yields increased with tree age at first cutting, while percentage leafy biomass decreased. In the second year total dry matter yields were significantly higher from the trees cut first at 9 and 12 months old, while in the third year the best yield was from the trees first cut at 6 months old, although the percentage leafy biomass was less. For the trees aged 6 and 9 months at the first cutting, total dry matter yields continued to increase over the 3 yr; for those aged 12 months at the first cutting leafy biomass production but not total biomass production increased with time. The test species responded differently to the cutting frequency treatments. Gliricidia sepium, Bauhinia monandra and Leucaena leucocephala produced the highest average dry matter yields with a high proportion of leafy biomass when cut every 8 wk. The lowest dry matter yield and leafy biomass proportion were observed with Moringa oleifera , and intermediate dry matter yields were observed with Erythrina orientalis [E. variegata] and Pithecellobium dulce . The same trends were observed at the 12-wk cutting interval. For the 16-wk cutting interval the highest total dry matter yields were with G.sepium and B. monandra , and the proportion of leafy biomass production was lower for all species.

  Mature and uniform-size M. oleifera cv. PKM-1 fruits were collected, cleaned, surface dried and then packed in polyethylene bags, corrugated fibre board boxes (CFB) and wooden boxes. Coir waste, printers waste and dried grass were used as filling materials in CFB and wooden boxes. Packed fruits were then transported to a distance of 975 km by bus under open conditions for 12 days. After transport, the fruits were analysed for physiological loss in weight (PLW), total girth, and carotene and ascorbic acid contents. The highest PLW (77.94%) was recorded in fruits packed in wooden boxes with dried grass as filling material. The lowest PLW (24.24%) was recorded in fruits packed in polyethylene bags, followed by CFB with coir waste as filling material (27.20%). The highest (6.10 cm) and the lowest (5.06 cm) fruit girths were recorded in fruits packed in CFB with coir waste and wooden boxes with dried grass, respectively. The highest carotene (182.02 mg/100 g) and ascorbic acid (128.17 mg/100 g) contents were found in fruits packed in polyethylene bags. The fruits transported without any package had a shelf life of 4 days.

• Foraging and resource utilization of Apis spp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Bangladesh.
  Dewan, S. M. A. L., 1995

  To examine the potential for beekeeping in the rice-growing areas of Bangladesh, a 2-year field investigation was undertaken at 5 sites in the Dhaka region. Observations on Apis cerana , A. dorsata and A. florea revealed that more foragers collected nectar only than pollen only or both nectar and pollen. The peaks of pollen collection were at 10.00 h for all species of bees whereas the peaks of nectar collection were different. The diurnal patterns of foraging by A. cerana and A. dorsata were similar. All the species started foraging before 05.00 h and continued later than 18.00 h except in winter, when the daytime is shorter. Surplus honeys were extracted in winter (from Brassica napus ) and in spring (from Litchi chinensis ). A total of 86 plant species were visited, of which 29 were foraged on by all 3 bee species, and 29 by A. cerana and A. dorsata . Cocos nucifera (pollen) and Musa paradisiaca (nectar) were visited by all 3 species of bees throughout the year. Amaranthus spinosus , Benincasa hispida , Moringa oleifera , Phoenix sylvestris , Tamarindus indica and Ziziphus mauritiana were the other important plants visited by the 3 Apis species. A total of 132 plants were identified from 233 pollen samples collected from A. cerana colonies. Species of Amaranthaceae, Averrhoaceae, Cruciferae, Leguminosae, Myrtaceae, Palmae, Rhamnaceae, Rutaceae and Sapindaceae were represented most in the pollen samples. Cocos nucifera was the major source of pollen for A. cerana ; the others were Brassica napus , Phoenix sylvestris , Borassus flabellifer and Amaranthus spinosus . Pollen analyses of 39 honey samples showed that A. cerana utilized 118 plants for nectar collection. The greatest number of pollen types in the samples was 23 and the lowest was 4. Of the total honey samples, 4 were unifloral and 35 were multifloral. Twenty-five plant species occurred either as dominant (> 45%) or secondary (16-45%) in the samples. Brassica napus , Litchi chinensis and Ziziphus mauritiana were the predominant species.

  An investigation was undertaken to identify legumes in the local flora that are allelopathic towards Parthenium and can be exploited for obtaining cost effective, ecofriendly and biodegradable herbicides for effective biocontrol/management of this serious weed. Fourteen legumes were tested. 100% aqueous leachates of all the legumes except Pithecellobium dulce , decreased the Seed Germination (SG) and Vigour Index (VI) of the seedlings significantly. The allelopathic influence on SG and VI was most marked from the leachates of Delonix regia (-83.01 and -87.06), Cassia occidentalis (-75.77 and -78.22%), Albizia procera (-67.24 and -85.22%), Tephrosia purpurea (-53.20 and -66.63%) and Moringa indica (-47.44 and -60.09%). All the aqueous extracts studied had inhibitory effects. 100% extracts of Cassia occidentalis (absolute inhibition), Tephrosia purpurea (-88.30 and -93.82%). Trifolium alexandrinum (-87.79 and -90.43%), Delonix regia (-79.26 and -82.45%) Moringa indica (-74.37 and -84.41%), Albizia procera (-73.45 and -89.11%), Bauhinia variegata (-61.82 and -69.22%) and Prosopis cineraria (-55.76 and -65.42%) showed significant inhibition of SG and VI of the seedlings. It is concluded that even the crude aqueous foliar leachates and extracts of the above mentioned plant species could be exploited as herbicides for effective low cost management of Parthenium hysterophorus without any danger of pollution.

  In Nicaragua, research on the use of the marango tree (Moringa oleifera ) as fresh forage for cattle is being carried out. This tree has good nutritional characteristics in terms of its contents of protein, vitamins, fibre, energy, digestibility, and has a high yield of fresh biomass. It is planted at high densities as hedges or in plots planted from stakes. The plant material is harvested at 35- to 45-day intervals. Currently, feeding trials involving milk and beef cattle are being carried out without a decrease in weight or milk production of the animals.

• In vitro bioassay of some plant products against some fungal plant pathogens.
  Sitansu Pan, Deb, G. 1997

  In vitro antifungal properties of some Indian herbs were determined against fungal plant pathogens. The fungal pathogens tested were Alternaria solani , Helminthosporium oryzae [Cochliobolus miyabeanus ], Fusarium udum , Colletotrichum falcatum [Glomerella tucumanensis ], Rhizoctonia solani , Corticium rolfsii and Aspergillus niger . Extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica ) leaf powder had antifungal properties against Cochliobolus miyabeanus and G. tucumanensis . At the highest concentration tested (1000 ppm), haldi (Curcuma longa ) rhizome powder gave encouraging results against F. udum and Cochliobolus miyabeanus . Babla (Acacia nilotica ) bark powder had strong antifungal activity against Cochliobolus miyabeanus at the highest concentration evaluated. Sajina (Moringa oleifera ) leaf, seed and root powder also had some antifungal properties against Cochliobolus miyabeanus . However, Kataki (Pandanus odoratissimus ) had no antifungal effects at the concentrations tested.

• Storage potential of moringa seeds.
  Sivasubramanian, K., Thiagarajan, C. P. 1997

  Moringa seed bulks were colour graded (black, brown, white or ungraded control) and stored in cloth or polyethylene bags for 1 year, after treatment with carbendazim (2 g/kg). Seeds were assessed every 2 months for moisture content, germination and vigour. Black seeds recorded a 6.7, 51.5 and 24.9 higher average germination percentage than brown, white and ungraded seeds, respectively. Seed vigour decreased gradually during storage, but vigour of black seeds was higher than that of brown, white and ungraded seeds at each stage of storage. Germination percentages of seeds were higher when stored in polyethylene bags than when stored in cloth bags, regardless of seed colour. Moisture content increased more rapidly in cloth bags than in polyethylene bags, which was associated with a more rapid decrease in vigour in cloth bags.

  Out of 5 plant extracts tested against Alternaria alternata in vitro , Aegle marmelos leaf extract at 5000 micro g/ml showed minimum (30.00 mm) colony diameter and maximum (66.67 %) growth inhibition of A. alternata in comparison with the control. The growth inhibition percentage in other treatments (Azadirachta indica , Moringa pterygosperma [M. oleifera ], Tagetes erecta and Pongamia pinnata ) varied from 30.0-59.17 at 5000 micro g/ml. All the plant extracts were less effective at lower concentrations; there was a positive correlation between increase in concentration and growth inhibition percentage.

  Crowding and space restriction prolonged the larval (28.7 and 31.7 days) and pupal (34.7 and 34.0 days) periods in Eupterote mollifera on Moringa pterygosperma [M. oleifera ] in the laboratory. Maximum larval (339 and 347 mg) and pupal (352 and 459 mg) weights were observed for individuals reared at low density and high volume. Both crowding and volume effects resulted in a decrease in the length and breadth of the fore- and hind-wings. Values obtained for food consumption (389 and 674 mg) and assimilation (146 and 253 mg) were lowest for individuals reared in minimum volume and maximum density.

• Resultados de un ensayo de evaluaci?n de especies de zona seca. Results of a dry zone species evaluation trial.
  Higman, S., 1994

  This report summarises the method and results of a species evaluation trial of 19 native and 1 exotic dry zone species, conducted over three years on a single site in the Valle de Comayagua, Honduras. Assessments were made at 10, 23 and 36 months after establishment. Prior to the 36 month assessment, species were labelled according to end-use class: either 'multipurpose' (MPT) and/or 'timber'. Standard forestry mensuration techniques as well as specialised MPT assessment techniques were employed in the final assessment. Three MPT species, Leucaena leucocephala, Moringa oleifera and Gliricidia sepium , emerge as promising, both in terms of the standard measure of height and the alternative MPT measure of length. However a different pattern emerges when MPT species are ranked by cross-sectional area: Guazuma ulmifolia, Senna atomaria and Enterolobium cyclocarpum emerge as the best performers. Albizia saman [Samanea saman ] ranks top in the timber species in terms of both height and diameter at breast height.

• Research to provide guidelines for future development of beekeeping in Bangladesh.
  International Bee Research Association, 1983

  An apiary of 2 Apis cerana colonies was established at each of 5 sites in rice-growing areas of Bangladesh, and records of foraging activity, colony strength and available bee forage were made at intervals of 2 weeks from 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1987. Samples of pollen loads and honey were collected for later examination. At each site, the amount of foraging for nectar reached its peak in December-January; at 3 sites a secondary peak occurred in February. Peaks of pollen collection tended to coincide with those of nectar collection. Foraging A. cerana were seen to visit 93 plant species, with many more bees seen foraging on Brassica napus than on any other species. Litchi chinensis, Cocos nucifera, Citrus grandis and Bombax ceiba received many visitors, and Moringa oleifera, Musa spp., Mikania scandens, Syzygium cuminii and Ziziphus mauritiana were also attractive. Species flowering and visited outside the main foraging period, which are valuable for colony maintenance, are listed. A mean of 3.0 kg honey/colony was harvested during the two seasons. Recommendations for planting bee forage are made, and it is envisaged that returns of 5 kg/colony (worth TK500) would be realistic. It is recommended that similar studies should be carried out in other areas of Bangladesh.

• Comparative growth performance of some multipurpose trees and shrubs grown at Machakos, Kenya.
  Jama, B., Nair, P. K. R. Kurira, P. W. 1989

  Data are presented on the growth rates of 29 multipurpose species or varieties (Acacia albida, A. holosericeae [A. holosericea], A. salicana [A. salicina], A. saligna, A. stulmanii [A. stuhlmannii], A. tortilis, Balanites aegyptica [B. aegyptiaca], Cassia siamea, Casuarina equisetifolia, Grevillea robusta, Leucaena leucocephala - 8 varieties, Parkinsonia acuelata [aculeata], Prosopis juliflora, P. nigra, P. pallida, Samanea saman, Sesbania bispinosa, S. grandiflora, S. sesban, Tamarindus indica and Ziziphus mauritania [mauritiana] ) grown at the ICRAF field station at Machakos (a subhumid to semiarid climatic zone) for 6 yr. The study started in Oct. 1981 and used seedlings at least 6 month old. All were intercropped with maize and beans [Phaseolus vulgaris ] twice a year, and recommended fertilizer types and rates were applied to the crops. Exotic species such as Grevillea robusta, Sesbania grandiflora, Leucaena leucocephala, Cassia siamea and Sesbania sesban, some of which were outside their traditional climatic zones, had larger diameters, heights and stem volumes (sometimes up to 130% more) than some of the indigenous species. Several exotic and indigenous species gave such a poor performance (either because of low ecological adaptation and/or pest and browse damage) that they were deleted from the trial and growth data are not given. These were: Acacia mellifera, Atriplex nummularia, Calliandra calothyrsus, Cassia alata, Cordeuxia [Cordeauxia] edulis, Erythrina abyssinica and Moringa oleiferra [M. oleifera]. General ecological characteristics of some of the species tested are summarized in a table.

• Reclamation of mine wasteland by trees.
  Jha, M. N., Prinsley, R.T.; Swift, M.J. (ed) 1987

  A brief account of the successful reclamation of land mined for bauxite at Armarkantak in Madhya Pradesh. Seedlings of 10 species were planted in 1972 in 45-cm2 pits dug at 2 x 2 m spacing on land levelled by bulldozing. The pits were filled with soil from a nearby sal forest and additional compost. Moringa and Melaleuca leucadendron failed completely but the 8 other species survived well; these were Shorea robusta and Pongamia pinnata (indigenous species) and Acacia auriculiformis, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Pinus caribaea, P. roxburghii, Grevillea robusta and G. pteridifolia (all species used successfully in Australian bauxite-mined areas). Various suggestions are made on factors contributing to the success of reclamation in mined areas.

• Relationships between preference, rumen degradability, gas production and chemical composition of browses
  Kaitho R.J., Nsahlai I.V. Williams B.A. Umunna N.N.; Tamminga S. van Bruchem J. 1997

  The aim of this work was to assess whether degradability, gas production or chemical constituents could predict the preference of browses. Forty tropical browse species leaves with a crude protein (CP) content ranging from 79 to 307 g kg^-1DM were used for this study. The neutral detergent fibre (NDF) ranged from 220 to 694 g kg^-1 DM, while acid detergent fibre (ADF) ranged from 146 to 523 g kg^-1 DM. The NDF-bound nitrogen (NDFN) and ADF-bound nitrogen were particularly high in Calliandra calothyrsus, Acacia polyacantha, Sesbania sesban, Acacia venosa and Acacia hockii. High levels of tannins were observed in Acacia species especially A. dolichocephala, A. hockii, A. microbotrya and A. salicina. High levels were also observed in Flemingia macrophyla and Leucaena pallida. The browse species differed (P < 0.05) in DM in sacco degradability coefficients. High potential degradability (PD) and effective degradability (ED) were observed in Sesbania spp, Moringa stenopetala, Indigofera arrecta, Chamaecytisus palmensis and Atriplex spp. The browses differed (P < 0.05) in asymptotic gas (Ag) production (ml g^-1 OM), but had similar (P > 0.05) times of incubation at which half of the asymptotic gas had been formed. Preference and DM intake were positively correlated (P < 0.01) to NDFN, but negatively correlated (P < 0.05) to NDF and ADF. The PD and Ag were negatively (P < 0.001) related to NDF, ADF and lignin. Total phenols (TP) and condensed tannins (CT) were negatively (P < 0.05) related to PD, ED and Ag. A positive correlation was observed between CT and NDF-bound condensed tannins (r = 0.55, P < 0.001) and, CT and TP (r = 0.40, P <0.01). Prediction equations were poor for DM intake and preference, moderate for gas production and good for potential and effective degradabilities. The phenolic components were more related to dry matter degradation and gas production than to preference and dry matter intake. NDFN and Ag made a positive contribution to both preference and DM intake. It was concluded that chemical constitutes such as N, NDF, NDFN, ADF and lignin are essential to predict the nutritive value of browses.

• Nitrogen in browse species: ruminal degradability and post-ruminal digestibility measured by mobile nylon bag and in vitro techniques.
  Kaitho, R. J., Umunna, N. N. Nsahlai, I. V. Tamminga, S. Bruchem, J. van 1998

  This study determined the N degradability and digestibility of rumen undegradable N using the mobile nylon bag (MNB) and a pepsin/pancreatin in vitro technique (IV) in 40 browse species. 30 Ethiopian highland sheep fitted with rumen cannulae were used. Six steers fitted with rumen cannulae were used in preparation of 16 and 24-h ruminal undegraded residues and 4 steers fitted with distal abomasal cannulae were used in MNB technique. The browses varied widely in N solubility (15-468 g/kg), potential degradability (223-976 g/kg), rate of degradation (0.13-24% h-1) and effective degradability (135-821 g/kg). The apparent N digestibility (ND) of the rumen undegraded residues differed significantly among browse species. No significant difference was observed in ND of 16 and 24-h residues. The ND of the 16-h residue varied from -218 to 759 g/kg and 169 to 851 g/kg for MNB and IV methods, respectively. Browse species with high tannin contents such as Acacia hockii , A. horrida , A. melanoxylon , A. persiciflora , A. salicina , A. saligna and Flemingia macrophylla had high rumen by-pass and a low ND, while Sesbania spp. and A. nilotica with low tannin contents underwent rapid and extensive DM and N degradation in the rumen. Acacia sieberiana , Chamaecytisus palmensis , Erythrina spp., Gliricidia sepium , Samanea saman [Albizia saman] and Enterolobium cyclocarpum had high proportions of protein escaping rumen degradation (BP) and with a high proportion of the by-pass protein digested in the intestine, therefore these browses had a high potential as protein supplements. The ND measured with the MNB were lower (P <0.001) than by the IV method. The correlation between MNB and IV was high (R 2 = 0.89, P <0.0001) as also indicated by the regression equation (SE in parentheses): MNB = -22.8 (4.55) + 1.0 (0.08)IV (RSD = 10.56, R 2 = 0.79, n=40, P <0.001). The intercept of the linear relationship obtained was different from zero while the slope was not different from unity. Multiple regression analysis suggested that some of the unexplained variation could be accounted for by either N, acid detergent fibre, total phenolics or neutral detergent fibre bound tannin concentrations in browses. It was concluded that the IV method was accurate for estimating digestibility of ruminally undegradable N and hence its use would considerably reduce the need for delicate surgery and the elaborate procedures involving the MNB technique.

• Rapid clonal propagation of Moringa oleifera Lam., using tissue culture.
  Kantharajah, A. S., Dodd, W. A. 1991

  A technique is described for the in vitro propagation of M. oleifera using nodal segments collected from a mature field-grown tree. An average of 22.1 plus or minus 6.3 shoots/plant were developed in the woody plant medium containing 2% sucrose, solidified with 0.8% agar and supplemented with 1 mg BA/litre. Root formation was readily achieved using MS basal medium with 0.5 mg NAA/litre. The resulting plantlets were transferred to soil and successfully grown in the greenhouse. Tissues from seedlings were found to be less useful as sources of explants for micropropagation than those from mature nodal segments from older trees.

• How large bees, Bombus and Xylocopa (Apoidea Hymenoptera) forage on trees: optimality and patterns of movement in temperate and tropical climates.
  Kevan, P. G., 1990

  Large Bombus species foraging on Aesculus hippocastanum, A. octandra, Robinia pseudoacacia, Cladrastis lutea and Tilia sp. in temperate zones, and Xylocopa species foraging on Peltophorum pterocarpum, Moringa oleifera and Sarcotheca celebica in the tropics, showed similar behaviour. Both foraged upwards on inflorescences on the crowns of trees, laterally and upwards between inflorescences less than 15 cm apart, but downwards and laterally between inflorescences more than 20 cm apart. The observed patterns of inter- and intra-inflorescence foraging were energetically efficient.

• Recherches sur la culture de Moringa oleifera Lam. au Togo (Research on Moringa oleifera Lam. cultivation in Togo)
  Kokou, K., Joet, T. Broin, M. Aidam, A. 2001

  M. oleifera is a multipurpose tree widely grown in Africa. Its seeds contain high quality edible oil and the residual presscakes from oil extraction can be used in natural water purification processes. However, M. oleifera is not intensively cultivated in Togo. As a basis for a plantation project, comparative studies of the agronomic potential of M. oleifera seeds from different origins (Togo, Senegal, Niger and Madagascar) and of the regeneration capacity of cuttings, depending on their size and maturity, was carried out during 1998 at Lome, Togo. The best germination rate was obtained for seeds buried at a 2-cm depth. Seeds from Madagascar had the highest germination rate (100%), while those from Togo had the lowest (80%); however, seedlings from Togo had far better growth. Cuttings exhibited high sensitivity to dehydration and termites. Cuttings longer than 1.5 m had the best survival rate and those which were lignified were more resistant than those which were chlorophyllous.

  In field trials in 1990-93 at Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, the effects were studied of growing field crops under 8 m rows of Leucaena leucocephala, Eucalyptus tereticornis and Moringa oleifera spaced 4 m apart with 2 m between trees. There were no significant effects on crop yields in the first 2 years, but in the 3rd year fodder sorghum and mustard [Brassica juncea ] yields were reduced. Black gram [Vigna mungo ] grown under M. oleifera or L. leucocephala gave similar yields to the control. Soyabeans were found to be unsuitable for growing under these trees.

• The use of shrubs and tree fodders by nonruminants.
  Limcangco-Lopez, P. D., Devendra, C. (ed) 1989

  The use of plant leaves as a protein source for non-ruminants is reviewed. Shrub and tree leaves, leaf vines, grasses, and algae and other water plants may contain, on a dry weight basis, 20-30% crude protein, 12-18% crude fibre, and xanthophyll 500-650 mg/kg. Plant leaves are usually processed into leaf meals. If processed properly, leaf meals are good pigmenting agents because of the presence of several xanthophylls. Among leaf meals, leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala ) and cassava (Manihot esculenta ) leaf meals are most popular. Others, such as Trema orientalis, Morus indica, Moringa oleifera and Sesbania rostrata, are potentially useful, but require further study of their nutrient availability. The use of leaf meals in feeds is limited by their high fibre content and, in some cases, by toxins or metabolic inhibitors. These limitations can be overcome by extracting protein from leaves; this yields a product high in protein, low in fibre, and without residual toxins. This leaf protein concentrate has a higher feeding value than leaf meals and can be included at high levels as a substitute for soyabean oilmeal. Interest in the production of leaf proteins has been slow, mainly for economic reasons. Fresh green leaves of shrubs and trees are used in small quantities for pigs and for feeding to poultry in confinement.

Karimunda vines were trained on the tree crops Moringa oleifera, Thespesia populnea, Garuga pinnata, Erythrina stricta, E. lithosperma, E. indica and Gliricidia sepium . Growth characters and yield attributes of pepper were not significantly affected by the different standards. However the highest vine height, number of leaves, number of nodes, leaf area index, number of spikes and black pepper yield were obtained when vines were trained on G. pinnata , whereas training vines on G. sepium gave the lowest yield. Among the trees, vegetative growth was greatest in G. sepium . Since G. pinnata produced high values for radial growth, bole volume, foliage and branch wood biomass without hindering pepper growth, it was considered an ideal live standard for pepper.

• Seasonal incidence of moringa fruit fly, Gitona sp.
  Murthy, J. N. A., Regupathy, A. 1992

  The population dynamics of Gitona sp. on annual moringa [Moringa oleifera ] were investigated in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, in 1984-85. The annual form of this popular vegetable had recently been introduced to cultivation in southern India and Gitona sp., previously regarded as a minor pest, had become more important. Gitona sp.-damaged fruits were recognised in the initial stages of infestation by the presence of gummy exudates, in association with eggs laid in the grooves between the ridges of the fruits, and by drying of the fruits in later stages. Gummy exudates were also observed following feeding by Oxycetonia versicolor and Anatona stillata . Gitona sp. were most numerous in August-September 1984, when 48-49% of fruit were damaged. Incidence decreased to 13-20% in November-December. A slight increase in January-February 1985, when 23.4% of fruits were damaged, was followed by another decrease in March-June. Incidence of Gitona sp. was negatively correlated with maximum temperature and hours of sunshine, and positively correlated with relative humidity and sunshine of the previous month.

• Role of flower colour of arid and semi-arid tree species and its effect on insect colonization.
  Murugesan, S., Sundararaj, R. Shivesh Kumar 1996

  The pigments responsible for flower colour are essentially flavonoids located in the cell vacuoles and carotenoids in the chloroplast. Flavonoids impart cyanic colours, while carotenoids provide yellow, orange and red cues, influencing host location by insects. The flavonoid pigments present in the flowers of Tecomella undulata, Parkinsonia aculeata, Cassia siamea and Moringa oleifera (arid zone species from Rajasthan) were identified using thin-layer chromatography. Details are tabulated of their spectral characteristics, and the corresponding flower colours. The flavonoids are known to act as feeding stimulants in insect groups in arid and semiarid regions, and some published data on this topic are mentioned.

• Status report on domestication and commercialization of non-timber forest products in agroforestry systems.
  Mwamba, C. K., 1996

  Zambia covers an area of about 750000 km2 of which about 54% is still covered by natural woodland broadly classified into 18 different forest types. These forests contain numerous tree (woody) species which have provided local communities with food, medicines and other non-timber products since time immemorial. Despite the importance of these forests for their multipurpose products, very limited scientific research has been directed at their assessment, development, and possible domestication or commercialization of the products. The Tree Improvement Research Centre of the National Council for Scientific Research (Zambia) recognized the need for the development and utilization of underutilized forest crops from the wild populations and initiated studies on forest fruit trees in 1976 (4 species were selected - Uapaca kirkiana, Ricinodendron rautanenii, Parinari curatellifolia and Anisophyllea boehmii ), on medicinal plants in 1984 (research has centred on the molluscicidal plant Phytolacca dodecandra ), and on industrial oil crops in 1990 (18 aromatic plants including Melaleuca spp., Rosmarinus officinalis and Pelargonium sp.; and 5 non-edible oilseed crops including Moringa oleifera and Jatropha curcas ). This paper reports on the current status of these studies. For the forest fruit trees, it has been shown that (1) potentially valuable tree species from wild populations can be domesticated and their variable traits improved for higher yield and better quality products, (2) these products could be commercialized, and (3) maize and beans could be cropped between respaced trees in monocultures of Uapaca kirkiana (converted from the natural forest stand), although soil fertility was a limiting factor here.

• A study of two honey plants, Antigonon leptopus Hook. and Moringa pterigosperma Gaertn.
  Nair, P. K. K., Singh, K. N. 1974

  This study was planned to provide a working procedure for the screening of possible honey plants. In field studies, Apis mellifera and A. cerana indica were seen visiting the pink flowers of the climber A. leptopus, and also collecting nectar and pollen from the flowers of M. pterigosperma, a softwood tree. Flower morphology and pollen grains of both species are described. Moringa flowers contained 0.90% of reducing sugars, and 11.81% of non-reducing sugars. Moringa flowers and fruit are used as vegetables in India; as different individuals of the species flower at different times between December and February in India, it could be usefully planted for bee forage.

• Effects of eucalyptus and casuarina on the yield of intercrops in agroforestry systems.
  Swaminathan, C., Robin, S. Kannan, K. Malarvizhi, D. Dhanakodi, C. V. 1999

  In field trials conducted at Pudukkottai, India, during 1990-95, the yields of annual moringa (Moringa oleifera ) cv. PKM 1, bitter gourd (Momordica charantia ) cv. CO 1, cluster beans cv. Pusa, swordbeans (Canavalia gladiata ) cv. Local and cowpeas cv. CO 1 were assessed when intercropped with Eucalyptus tereticornis and Casuarina equisetifolia . Six-month-old seedlings of the tree species were planted at 4 x 1 m spacing and the intercrops were sown between them. The growing of intercrops did not influence the growth of the tree species, but vegetable yields declined from 3.92 t/ha to 0.014 t/ha in Eucalyptus tereticornis plots and from 4.96 t/ha to 0.089 t/ha in Casuarina equisetifolia . Eucalyptus tereticornis proved more inhibitory to crops than Casuarina equisetifolia . Swordbean was found most suitable for intercropping with both tree species. Bioassays revealed that germination and root and shoot length of the intercrops were suppressed by Eucalyptus tereticornis bark leachate. Leachates of Eucalyptus tereticornis proved more inhibitory to the germination of test crops than Casuarina equisetifolia .

• Effect of waterlogging on some forest plants.
  Nema, A. G., Khare, A. K. 1992

  Brief data are reported on the appearance of damage symptoms (drying and drooping, and days to first symptom development) and mortality following waterlogging of 13 species of young (12-20 months old) forest tree species growing in the experimental area of the Department of Forestry, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, during the rainy season of 1990. Root examination of the affected plants showed that there were no disease organisms present during the early stages of the disorder, suggesting that damage was caused by asphyxiation. Leucaena leucocephala, Melia azedarach, Moringa oleifera, Syzygium cumini and Tectona grandis were highly susceptible, while Azadirachta indica, Acacia nilotica, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Dendrocalamus strictus, Dalbergia sissoo, Acacia auriculiformis and Terminalia arjuna were highly resistant. Sesbania sesban was moderately susceptible.

• Insect pollination of the moringa plant Moringa concanensis Nimmo Linn.
  Palanichamy, P. S., Baskaran, S. Mohandoss, A. 1995

  In a study carried out near Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, in July-October, 1993, the moringa tree, Moringa concanensis , was found to be visited by 8 insect species. The relative abundance, pollen deposition and time spent at flowers by each species showed that the bumble bee Bombus sp., the little bee Apis florea , and the black ant Camponotus compressus , were the major pollinators of moringa. The diurnal activity of Bombus sp. and A. florea on sunny days showed a negative correlation with temperature and positive correlation with humidity. On cloudy days these 2 pollinators showed both negative and positive correlation with temperature and humidity. The pollen depletion from anthers of the moringa flowers by Bombus sp. and A. florea was more at about 1000 hours and less at about 1600 hours.

  Moringa oleifera seeds were dried to approx equal to 8% moisture content and treated with captan (75% wettable powder at 2 g/kg seeds, dissolved in water), activated clay (10 g/kg seeds), Bavistin [carbendazim] (2 g/kg seeds, dissolved in water) or cowdung ash (10 g/kg seeds). Controls were untreated. Seeds were then stored in fresh gada cloth bags or 700-gauge thick polyethylene bags (250 g seeds/bag) under ambient conditions. Samples were removed from storage at 2-monthly intervals for germination tests (the last samples were removed after 12 months). Viability decreased progressively as storage duration increased in all treatments but the decrease was least in seeds treated with captan and stored in polyethylene bags, which showed 40% germination after 12 months (the original germination percentage for all treatments before storage was 94%), compared with 4-14% in the other treatments.

  Twenty Moringa pterygosperma [M. oleifera ] genotypes were grown during 1986-87 and data recorded for pod length, pod weight, pods/tree and yield/tree in the first, second and ratoon crops. Variability parameters, broad sense heritability and genetic advance were calculated. Variability was high for pod weight and yield in all 3 crops and genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variation were highest for yield in the ratoon crop. Highest heritability was also seen for yield in the ratoon crop (76.5%). The results indicated that selection for pod weight and yield will lead to improved yielding genotypes.

  Experiments were conducted to assess the effects of aqueous leaf extracts of Eucalyptus globulus, Melia azedarach, Parthenium hysterophorus, Moringa oleifera and soyabeans on the mineral uptake by sorghum. Results of analyses of seedlings exposed to extracts for 8 days indicated that uptake of Zn, Ca and Mg were more affected than K, P, Fe or Mn by extract exposure, and all five extracts reduced uptake of these minerals. P. hysterophorus led to the greatest reduction in Zn uptake, E. globulus caused the greatest reduction in Ca absorption, and both of these and M. oleifera caused marked reductions in Mg uptake.

Respiration rates increased more or less exponentially with increasing storage temperature in all the vegetables tested, CO2 varying from 28 to 302 mgkg-1h-1 at 20 deg for C. longa and M. oleifera , respectively. At 0 deg , the same vegetables had the lowest and highest respiration rates among the species (viz. CO2 at 4.5 and 28 mgkg-1h-1, respectively). Among the vegetables tested, above-ground plant parts such as leaves, fruits and flowers generally had higher respiration rates than subterranean storage organs such as roots, corms and tubers. Vital heat produced ranged from 49 Jkg-1h-1 for C. longa at 0 deg to 3272 Jkg-1h-1 for M. oleifera at 20 deg .

• Helopeltis antonii Sign. as a pest of Moringa Oleifera.
  Pillai, K.S., Saradamma, K. Nair, M.R.G.K. 1980

  Helopeltis antonii Sign., which is known to infest tea, cashew, guava and grapevine, is recorded for the first time on the tree Moringa oleifera [a source of oil] in the Trivandrum and Quilon districts of Kerala State, India. Feeding, reproduction and development were all observed on M. oleifera, and caused withering and die-back of terminal shoots, fall of individual flowers and drying of the whole inflorescence, and white patches and incomplete development in fruits; sometimes after heavy infestation the whole tree appeared dead, with no leaves or flowers.

• Plasticulture in betelvine cultivation.
  Pitam Chandra, 1990

  The three methods of growing P. betel [P. betle ] in India are (1) in a mixed plantation with crops such as arecanut, jackfruit, mango and coconut, where no further shade is required, (2) together with fast-growing plants such as Sesbania grandiflora, Erythrina variegata or Moringa oleifera, or (3) under artificial shades, known as Bareja or Boroj. The climatic requirements, methods of training, and irrigation requirements of the crop are briefly described. It is suggested that it would benefit from being grown under plastic greenhouses.

• Control of moringa fruitfly Gitona sp., and leaf caterpillar Noorda blitealis with insecticides and botanicals.
  Ragumoorthi, K. N., Arumugam, R. 1991

  Five chemical insecticides and 3 plant extracts were tested against 2 pests on Moringa oleifera grown as a vegetable crop in Tamil Nadu, India, in 1988-89. All treatments against Gitona sp. (in which the pesticides were applied in sprays at 3 litres/tree during 50% fruit set) caused significant reductions in the percentage of fruits infested and the mean number of larvae per fruit, as compared with the untreated control. Treatment against Noorda blitealis took place during the early vegetative stage and flowering, and all treatments caused significant reductions in larval populations up to 21 days after treatment, as compared with the control. The best results against the 2 pests were obtained with 0.04% dichlorvos and fenthion and 1% neem cake extract and neem oil.

• Neem products and plant extracts for managing Moringa fruit fly, Gitona distigma (Meigon).
  Ragumoorthi, K. N., Rao, P. V. S. Dhaliwal, G. S. Arora, R. Randhawa, N. S. Dhawan, A. K. 1998

  Five neem [Azadirachta indica ] formulations: Nimbecidine 0.03%, Neem Azal 1%, Neem Gold 0.15%, Econeem 0.3% and Rakshak 0.15% were evaluated against G. distigma . Effectiveness of these formulations was measured in terms of ovicidal action, adult emergence, fecundity, hatchability, maggot survival and behavioural response. Among the neem formulations, Nimbecidine was effective with high antioviposition effect (15.33 eggs/female at 150 ppm concentration and 54.67 eggs/female in control), reduced longevity of adult (11 days at 150 ppm and 23.33 days in control), reduced adult emergence (71.25% treatment, 85.50% in control), reduced fecundity (50.25 eggs/female against 62.75 eggs/female in control), reduced hatchability (57.25% against 69.75% in control) and reduced maggot survival (81.25% against 89.0% in control). Even after 7 days, only 22.6% of adult flies orientated on the Nimbecidine treated fruits and there was no orientation of adult flies till the end of two days after treatment. Aqueous and methanolic plant extracts from leaves of Vitex negundo , shoot of Tribulus terrestris , shoot of Catharanthus roseus , seeds of Melia azedarach , leaves of Azadirachta indica , seed kernel of A. indica (NSKE), leaves of Tagetes erecta , and leaves of Prosopis juliflora were assessed for their reaction to G. distigma . Among them, methanolic plant extracts of V. negundo , M. azedarach and NSKE were more effective with high feeding deterrency (43.75-62.50%), low fecundity (51.90-74.26% reduction), low hatchability (46.75-51.25%), high maggot mortality (18.50-24.75%), high puparium mortality (24.75-31.25%) and high adult malformation (7.75-18.25%). Nimbecidine 0.03% at 150 ppm as foliar spray during 50% fruit set and soil application of NSKE at 2 litres per tree incorporated in the IPM programme for G. distigma has yielded higher numbers of moringa (Moringa pterygosperma ) fruits.

• Assessment of economic injury level (EIL) for moringa fruitfly Gitona distigma (Meigon) (Diptera: Drosophilidae).
  Ragumoorthy, K. N., Selvaraj, K. N. Rao, P. V. S. Reddy, P. P. (ed) Kumar, N. K. K. (ed) Verghese, A. (ed) 1998

  In a field study in Tamil Nadu, pest damage by Gitona distigma on Moringa oleifera was assessed by fitting linear, log linear and quadratic equations for eggs, maggots per fruit, per cent affected fruits and yield. Log linear equation was the most precise for eliciting the threshold for economic injury level (EIL). In untreated crops, EIL was either 11.9 eggs/fruit or 11.7 larvae/fruit or 15.1% of fruits affected. Where insecticides were used, EIL was 7.5 eggs/fruit, 7.4 larvae/fruit or 9.5% affected fruits.

• A comparative investigation on the physio-chemical properties and some selected enzymes content in the flesh of healthy and Rhizopus stolonifer infected moringa fruit
  Rahman, M. Z., Saud, Z. A. Absar, N. 2001

  The physio-chemical composition of healthy and R. stolonifer -infected moringa (Moringa oleifera cultivars Najna and Sajina) fruits were investigated at different maturity levels (immature, mature and ripe). Of the cultivars examined, Najna contained the highest amount of protein, total sugar, reducing sugar, total soluble solid (TSS), starch and ash, while Sajina contained the highest values for total titrable acidity (TTA), moisture, lipid, vitamin C [ascorbic acid]. In both the healthy and infected conditions, total sugar, reducing sugar, sucrose, TSS, moisture, protein and lipid content were increased but ash, TTA and vitamin C content decreased moderately with the changes in maturity. Starch content changed very rapidly after mature stage. All the nutrient contents under investigation except protein, reducing sugar and ash decreased after infection of moringa fruits with R. stolonifer . The activities of all the seven enzymes under investigation increased after infection of moringa fruits. The activities of catalase and protease [proteinase] increased but that of polyphenol oxidase [catechol oxidase] and ascorbic acid oxidase decreased remarkably with the advancement of maturity stages. The activities of amylase, cellulase and invertase [-fructofuranosidase] increased up to mature stage and then decreased abruptly.

• Chemical Composition of Fruits and Leaves Eaten by Short-Nosed Fruit Bat, Cynopterus sphinx
  Ruby J., Nathan P.T. Balasingh J. Kunz T.H. 2000

  We evaluated organic and macromineral composition of selected fruits and leaves consumed by the short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx in South India. Results of principal components analysis (PCA) comparing soluble carbohydrates, crude protein, and crude fats indicate a higher percentage of protein in leaves and a higher percentage of carbohydrates and lipids in fruits. However, results of a paired t test comparing these organic components indicated no differences between fruits and leaves. Among the fruits analyzed, Musa x paradisiaca had the highest percentage of carbohydrates, and Psidium guajava had the highest percentage of lipids. Leaves of Cassia fistula, Moringa oleifera, coccinia cordifolia, and F. religiosa had the highest percentage of protein. PCA of selected macrominerals (Ca, Na, K, and P) indicate higher levels of Ca in leaves than in fruits. Results of t tests comparing these macrominerals revealed a difference between fruits and leaves for Ca, but not for the other macrominerals. Among the leaves analyzed, Ca was highest in mature leaves of C. fistula and lowest in leaves of F. religiosa. Leaves of M. oleifera and fruits of Achras sapota were highest in sodium. Among fruits analyzed for macrominerals, Ca was highest in F. bengalensis and lowest in Prosopis juliflora, A. sapota, and M. x paradisiaca. Potassium levels were highest in leaves of C. cordifolia and fruit pods of Prosopis juliflora. Phosphorus content was highest in leaves of M. oleifera and fruits of M. x paradisiaca. The relatively high concentrations of protein and calcium in leaves eaten by C. sphinx supports the hypothesis that leaves are important dietary sources for this plant-visiting bat.

• Comparative biology of cashew stem and root borer, Plocaederus ferrugineus L. on natural host and semi-synthetic diet.
  Senguttuvan, T., Mahadevan, N. R. 1998

  Biological studies on P. ferrugineus revealed that adults mated a day after emergence, and mating occurred 3 to 6 times a day mostly during night. The mean pre-oviposition and oviposition periods were 3.6 and 7.2 days, respectively. A female beetle laid an average of 62 eggs and the incubation period was 6.9 days. In cashew root logs, the grub period, pupal period and total life cycle were 163.9, 60.3 and 249.6 days for male and 168, 70 and 261 days for female, respectively. On a semi-synthetic diet, the grub period, pupal period and total life cycle were 219.7, 53.3 and 284.3 days for male and 212.3, 63.3 and 291.5 days for female, respectively. About 6 to 7 instars were noticed in both male and female. There was an increase in total life cycle by one month when reared on a semi-synthetic diet. The grubs did not form calcareous cocoons on a semi-synthetic diet. The adult beetles developed from moringa and cashew logs were larger in size, lived longer and laid more eggs than those on a semi-synthetic diet.

• Plant feeding by Eocanthecona furcellata (Wolff.) (Heteroptera: Asopinae): effect on development, survival and reproduction.
  Senrayan, R., 1991

  Individuals of Eocanthecona furcellata [Cantheconidea furcellata ] were collected from Mangifera indica [mangoes] and Moringa oleifera in Madras, India, in 1986-89. The adults and larvae were provided with some combination of diet (larvae of L. lepida [lepidopteran genus is not specified, possibly Latoia, preferred name is Parasa lepida ], water and leaves of M. indica ) in the laboratory. Larvae provided with only leaves and water died in their 2nd or 3rd instar. Larvae reared with prey and leaves survived in 92% of cases. Larvae reared with prey and water survived in 88% of cases. Larvae reared with prey alone survived in 82% of cases. The length of time taken for development from the 3rd to the 5th instar was reduced if a diet of prey was supplemented with leaves, and the larvae and adult females were larger in these cases. The implications of the polyphagous nature of C. furcellata on its use as a biological control agent are mentioned. The predator population may be sustained in periods of low prey density by feeding on vegetation, but there is the possibility that it may be a vector of plant disease.

• Insect pest problems in social forestry plantations and their management.
  Sen-Sarma, P. K., 1988

  An account of the various pests that damage social forestry tree species in stored seeds, nurseries and forest plantations in India. The term 'social' forestry is taken to include community forestry and agroforestry, and the species covered are multipurpose, the most common genera being Acacia, Albizia, Artocarpus, Azadirachta, Casuarina, Celtis, Emblica (E. officinalis [Phyllanthus emblica ]), Eucalyptus, Madhuca, Mangifera, Moringa, Pongamia, Prosopis, Sesbania, Syzygium, Tamarindus and Zizyphus [Ziziphus ], although others are also included in the account. The plantation pests section includes defoliators, sap suckers and wood borers and is written mainly with reference to the monocultures used in 'pure' social forestry plantations. The various management techniques (cultural methods, chemical and biological control agents) used to prevent and control insect infestation are discussed.

• Effect of feeding tender and senescent leaf by Eupterote mollifera and tender leaf and flower by Spodoptera exigua on food utilization.
  Senthamizhselvan, M., Muthukrishnan, J. 1989

  Food utilization of by larvae of Spodoptera litura and Eupterote mollifera was studied on tender leaves and flowers of Brassica oleracea and tender and senescent leaves of Moringa oleifera, resp. The food consumption and utilization efficiencies of E. mollifera were higher on tender than on senescent leaves, while larvae of S. litura feeding on flowers had higher values than those on tender leaves. It is concluded that the food utilization parameters of these insects depend on the nutritional quality of the food.

• Pathogenic fungus of Noorda blitealis Walker. (Lepidoptera-Pyralidae) a major pest of Moringa oleifera Tanss.
  Shamila Kalia, Harsh, N. S. K. Joshi, K. C. 1996

  Two fungi viz. Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger , were isolated and identified from the larvae of Noorda blitealis , a major pest of saplings of Moringa oleifera in forest nurseries in Madhya Pradesh. In laboratory tests Noorda blitealis larvae were highly susceptible to spraying with a spore suspension of Aspergillus flavus (70-80% larval mortality resulted) while the larvae proved to be highly resistant to treatment with A. niger spores (no mortality). The A. flavus mortality is thought to be caused by invasion of the host through respiratory orifices, wounds and by ingestion, which results in damage through mycotoxin production, histolysis, physical damage and blockage of the alimentary canal from mycelial growth.

• Social forestry and rural economy.
  Sharma, S. C., 1989

  A discussion of land resource allocation to social forestry programmes, with reference to the situation in Uttar Pradesh. Topics covered include the socioeconomic structure of the local community, the need for zero-cost fuelwood (cow dung is presently meeting the fuel requirement) and increased fodder resources, and the development of cottage and small-scale industries (such as oil production from plantations of oilseed bearing species including Pongamia pinnata, Azadirachta indica, Moringa oleifera and Madhuca latifolia [M. longifolia] ). The 2 main limitations to social forestry programmes are their encroachment on pasture and grazing lands (leading to fodder shortages) and their economic success, which can lead to the practice of forestry at the expense of food production from agriculture. The main requirements for the success of social forestry programmes are local participation, gearing to local needs, and soil conservation and afforestation in village ponds ('nallas').

• House sparrow as predator of white grub adults.
  Sharma, S. K., Bhagirath Singh 1976

  In July 1976 during a survey of the trees on which white-grub (melolonthid) adults feed, elytra of these beetles were found under the oil-producing trees Azadirachta indica (neem) and Moringa oleifera (sanjna) near Jaipur in the Indian State of Rajasthan, and subsequently house sparrows (Passer domesticus) were seen preying on the adults. This predation of hard-bodied insects was confirmed by bringing some of these sparrows into the laboratory and offering them adults of Holotrichia consanguinea (Blanch.) (Lachnosterna consanguinea), which they rapidly consumed except for the elytra.

• Impact of fluoride accumulation in plants in an industrial area.
  Stanley, V. A., Shaleesha, A. Pillai, K. S. 1998

  A study was conducted to analyse the impact of environmental fluoride deposition on plants (Terminalia catapa [Terminalia catappa ], Pongamia glabra [P. pinnata ], Thespesia populnea , Moringa oleifera , Cassia alata and Panicum sativum ) in a contaminated industrial area near Madras, India. Deposition of particulate fluoride in all the plants studied during 1994-96 was more than post-monsoon plant samples. Similarly, except in Terminalia catap a, tissue fluoride levels were found to be more in all plants in summer than in post-monsoon samples. It is suggested that an increase in accumulation of fluoride in T. catappa may be due to its larger leaf area compared with conifers.

• Drumstick: a MPTS, responses to chemicals in nursery.
  Sudhir Kumar, Singh, R. C. Sunil Kumar 2000

  Drumstick (Moringa oleifera ) is a fast-growing multipurpose tree species (MPTS) which is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical India. This note reports the effect of various chemical seed treatments on seed germination under nursery conditions at the IGFRI Central Research Farm at Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, in July 1997. Seeds were collected from the Jhansi region, and were of 2 types - white or black. They were tested either with the seedcoat, or with the seedcoat removed. Seeds were given 5 treatments: control, GA3 at 2000 ppm, 0.1% KNO3, 0.1% thiourea, and prechilling (moistened seeds kept at 5-6 deg for 7 days before sowing). [No information is given on sowing/growing conditions]. Germination, height growth and number of branches and leaflets per plant were recorded weekly over a month. Germination started after 4 days and lasted to 9 days, with maximum germination on day 5. It was most in the control seeds (97.5%), and ranged from 80 to 92.5 in the other treatments and seed conditions/types, except that the prechilled seed did not germinate at all. Maximum height and branch growth was in the KNO3 treatment, with significantly lower growth in the thiourea treatment. Plants from black seeds and seeds with coats grew taller than those from white seeds and seeds without coats, while branch production was better in white seeded plants; the presence/absence of the seedcoat did not affect branch production. There were various significant interactions between treatments/conditions/seed type as regards height and branch growth. No treatments/condition/seed types had effects on leaflet production.

• The effect of temperature on the germination of Moringa stenopetala , a multipurpose tree.
  Teketay, D., 1995

  Moringa stenopetala is a multipurpose tree used in traditional agroforestry practices in southern Ethiopia. Its leaves and fruits are eaten as vegetables and are also used as fodder; the wood is used for fuel and construction; many parts of the plant have different traditional medical applications. One of the most promising potential applications of the species, however, is to purify turbid water, since its seeds have flocculating and antimicrobial properties. Powder from seeds is being used as a natural coagulant for low-cost water purification. Despite its promising potential, the species has attracted little attention compared with M. oleifera , which is widely cultivated throughout the tropics. The most common method of propagation of M. stenopetala in southern Ethiopia is direct sowing, without pretreatment of seeds. However, very little is known about the temperature requirements of the seeds for germination. To assess the effect of temperature on germination and to find out the optimum germination temperature, seeds were placed in a thermogradient ranging from 10 to 30 deg C. Germination values were 0% (10 deg C), 6% (15 deg C), 85% (20 deg C), 94% (25 deg C), and 76% (30 deg C), suggesting an optimum temperature for the germination of about 25 deg C. Speed of germination was higher at 25 and 30 deg C. It is concluded that areas with appropriate temperature ranges (20-30 deg C) be selected in future agroforestry designs involving the species.

  Valia, R. Z., Patil, V. K. Patel, Z. N. 1993

  M. oleifera (a medicinal plant also widely grown for its edible pods) seedlings were grown in naturally sodic (exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) 41.0) or artificially sodic (ESP 12-60) soils in pots for 12 months. Significant decreases in plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, plant spread, total leaf area and root length occurred at ESP more than or equal to 41. Root diameter and total root number were approx equal to 3 and 5 times higher, respectively, in control soil (ESP 3.82) than in the sodic soils. At ESP 60, injury symptoms (leaf burns, defoliation, etc.) were visible 120 days after planting and plants died after 240 days. At higher ESPs, leaf, stem and root N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S contents were significantly reduced, while Na contents increased.

• Physiological responses of Drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) to varying levels of ESP
  Valia, R. Z., Patil, V. K. Patel, Z. N. Kapadia, P. K. 1993

  Four-month-old rooted cuttings of M. oleifera , a vegetable widely cultivated for its edible pods, were subjected to different concentrations of exchangeable sodium by adding NaHCO3 at 0-176.40 g/10 kg soil in pots. Increasing salinity resulted in decreasing values for plant DW, chlorophyll content, number of stomata and transpiration rate.

• Effects of soil salinity on physiological parameters of drumstick.
  Valia, R. Z.., Patil, V. K. Kapadia, P. K 1993

  The drumstick (Moringa oleifera ) is widely cultivated in India for its edible pods. Plants were grown in pots at soil electrical conductivities of 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 dS/m obtained by using a mixture of NaCl, NaHCO3, Na2SO4, CaCl2 and MgSO4. Significant reductions in chlorophyll a and b and the number of stomata were obtained above 4 dS/m. The rate of transpiration increased significantly with salinity, even at 4 dS/m.

• In vitro micropropagation of Moringa pterygosperma .
  Vandina Mohan, Madumati Purohit Srivastava, P. S. 1995

  Micropropagation of M. pterygosperma [M. oleifera ], a medicinal and forestry species, from hypocotyl and cotyledonary explants was achieved. Initially, multiple shoot regeneration was induced on MS medium containing 3% sucrose, and 100 mg L-asparagine, 100 mg L-glutamine and 150 mg m -inositol/litre supplemented with 0.2 mg NAA + 2.0 mg kinetin (M-1) or 0.1 mg NAA and 5.0 mg BA (M-2). Regenerated shoots when transferred to M-2 supplemented with GA3 at 0.2 mg/litre grew further and developed roots. The regenerated shoot tips grown on MS containing only 0.2 mg IBA/litre also produced well-developed roots.

• Studies on the factors affecting seed germination of Moringa
  Verma, S. C., 1973

  Studies were made of the seed germination of 6 different tree biotypes of M. oleifera (= M. pterygosperma) and M. concanensis as affected by continuous light v. darkness, watering treatment and sowing depth. The effects of illumination varied between the different clones, and no distinct pattern was evident. Watering twice a day gave better results than watering once a day, and sowing at a depth of 1-3 cm resulted in the highest germination percentage. Storing seeds for 2 months or more was detrimental.

  Three sprays of Captaf [captan] (0.25%), Blitox-50 [copper oxychloride] (0.35%) and Indofil M-45 [mancozeb] (0.25%) at 20 days interval were significantly superior to other treatments in reducing disease severity caused by Alternaria spp., and increasing the yield of aubergine in microplot trials. Three sprays of carbendazim (0.05%) and Allium sativum extract (2%) were found statistically at par in terms of control efficacy. However, seedling dip in carbendazim (0.05%) for 30 minutes followed by sprays of Moringa pterygosperma [Moringa oleifera ] or Achyranthes aspera leaf extract (3%) had no effect in reducing disease intensity and increasing yield of aubergine.

• A comparative investigation on the physio-chemical properties and some selected enzymes content in the flesh of healthy and Rhizopus stolonifer infected moringa fruit
  Zoadur Rahman, M., Zahangir Alam Saud Absar, Nurul 2001

  The physio-chemical composition of healthy and diseased moringa fruits were investigated at different maturity levels. Of varieties examined, Najna contained highest amount of protein, total sugar, reducing sugar, total soluble solid (TSS), starch and ash while Sajina contained highest amount of total titrable acidity (TTA), moisture, lipid, vitamin C. In both the healthy and diseased conditions, total sugar, reducing sugar, sucrose, TSS, moisture, protein and lipid content were increased but ash, total titrable acidity (TTA) and vitamin C content decreased moderately with the changes of maturity. Starch content changes very rapidly after mature stage. All the nutrient contents under investigation except protein, reducing sugar and ash were decreased after infection of moringa fruits with disease. The activities of all the seven enzymes under investigation were increased after infection of moringa fruits. The activities of catalase and protease increased but that of polyphenol oxidase and ascorbic acid oxidase decreased remarkably with the advancement of maturity stages and the activities of amylase, cellulase and invertase increased upto mature stage and then decreased abruptly.

• Comparison of physical, chemical, and functional properties of Moringa peregrina (Al-Yassar or Al-Ban) and soybean proteins.
  Al-Kahtani, H.A., Abou-Arab, A.A. 1993

  The young seeds of M. peregrina are eaten like peas and the mature seeds are fried or roasted like groundnuts. Flours of M. peregrina and soyabeans were individually defatted and fractionated into protein concentrate and protein isolate. M. peregrina flour contained more oil than soyabean flour but was lower in proteins, carbohydrates and ash. M. peregrina protein concentrate also contained less protein and more carbohydrate. The protein isolate of M. peregrina had higher protein and lower carbohydrate levels than the protein isolate of soyabeans. Potassium and sodium were the predominant minerals in both M. peregrina and soyabean flour. X-ray diffraction patterns (d spacings and 2 angle of crystallinity) could easily discriminate M. peregrina products from soyabean products. M. peregrina flour and concentrate were significantly lower in bulk density than the soyabean fractions. PAGE indicated 9 and 5 subunits (defatted flour), 13 and 9 subunits (protein concentrate), and 12 and 5 subunits (protein isolate) for soyabeans and M. peregrina proteins, respectively. M. peregrina proteins were somewhat less soluble than soyabean proteins, even at higher pH values. Emulsion capacity of M. peregrina products was generally higher than that of soyabean products at all pH values, while emulsion stability of soyabean products was generally higher, particularly at pH 2 and 10. Maximum increase in foam volume was observed at pH 2. At pH 4-6, the foam stability of M. peregrina protein isolate was greater, but the foam stability of its protein concentrate was lower than that of soyabean proteins. Soyabean protein concentrate absorbed significantly more water, while M. peregrina products absorbed more oil.

  Delaveau, P., Boiteau, P. 1980

  Both oils were stable and resistant to oxidation. Oil of M. oleifera appears suitable for pharmaceutical and cosmetological uses but yields are low owing to the small size of the seeds and the limited number of fruits produced per tree. M. drouhardii grows in arid regions of Madagascar and has larger fruits and seeds than M. oleifera. Its oil production could be increased and its high oil protein content (25% by weight of kernel) should make the residue satisfactory as an oil-cake. Data on the composition of the oils are tabulated.

• Characterization of Moringa oleifera Seed Oil Variety "Periyakulam 1"
  Lalas, S., Tsaknis, J. 2002

  The oil from Moringa oleifera seeds variety Periyakulam 1 (PKM 1) from India was extracted using three different procedures including cold press (CP), extraction with n-hexane (H) and extraction with a mixture of chloroform:methanol (1:1) (CM). The oils were compared with those of a commercial virgin olive oil and Moringa oleiferavar. Mbololo seed oil. The oil concentration ranged from 25.1% (CP) to 41.4% (CM). The density, refractive index, colour, smoke point, viscosity, acidity, saponification value, iodine value, fatty acid methyl esters, sterols, tocopherols (by HPLC), peroxide value, E1%1 cm at 232 nm and the susceptibility to oxidation measured by the Rancimat method were determined. The oil was found to contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic (up to 71.60%). The dominant saturated acids were palmitic and behenic (both up to 6.4%). The oil was also found to contain high levels of -sitosterol (up to 45.58%), stigmasterol (up to 23.10%) and campesterol (up to 15.81%). -, - and -tocopherols were detected up to levels of 15.38, 25.40 and 15.51 mg/kg of oil, respectively. Moringa oleifera seed oil showed a long induction period (at 120?C), which however was reduced from 42.56 to 72.56% after degumming. The Moringa oleifera seed oil showed high stability to oxidative rancidity. Among the methods used for extraction, the mixture of chloroform:methanol (1:1) (CM) showed the higher resistance to oxidation.

• (13)C NMR characterization of triacylglycerols of Moringa oleifera seed oil: an "oleic-vaccenic acid" oil.
  Vlahov G,, Chepkwony PK, Ndalut PK 2002

  The composition of acyl chains and their positions in the triacylglycerols of the oil extracted from seeds of Moringa oleifera were studied by C NMR spectroscopy. The unsaturated chains of M. oleifera seed oil were found to comprise only mono-unsaturated fatty acids and, in particular, two -9 mono-unsaturated acids, (cis-9-octadecenoic (oleic acid) and cis-11-eicosenoic acids) and one -7 mono-unsaturated acid (cis-11-octadecenoic acid (vaccenic acid)). The mono-unsaturated fatty acids were detected as separated resonances in the spectral regions where the carbonyl and olefinic carbons resonate according to the 1,3- and 2-positions on the glycerol backbone. The unambiguous detection of vaccenic acid was also achieved through the resonance of the -3 carbon. The C NMR methodology enabled the simultaneous detection of oleate, vaccenate, and eicosenoate chains according to their positions on the glycerol backbone (1,3- and 2-positions) through the carboxyl, olefinic, and methylene envelope carbons of the triacylglycerol acyl chains.

• Studies on moringa (Moringa pterigosperma Gaertn) oil and water coagulation by press cake.
  Sakthivel, T., Thamburaj, S. 2000

  The oil content of M. pterigosperma leaves, flowers, seeds and kernels, and water coagulation time and quality as influenced by the plant's oil press cake were studied in a field experiment conducted in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India [date not given]. The highest oil content were recorded from kernels (39.5%), followed by seeds (21.4%), and the lowest were recorded from both the leaves and flowers. As the concentration of oil cake for water purification increased, the time taken for water coagulation decreased. The optimum dose of press cake used for water purification was 0.050 g. The pH of the water was lower in treated water, whereas sulfate, bicarbonate, calcium and magnesium content increased in the press cake-treated compared to the untreated water.

• Stability During Frying of Moringa oleifera Seed Oil Variety "Periyakulam 1"
  Tsaknis, J, Lalas, S. 2002

  The frying performance of the Moringa oleifera seed oil variety Periyakulam 1 (PKM 1) from India, extracted using cold press (CP) and n -hexane (H), during frying of potatoes and cod was studied especially as regards repeated frying operations. The oils were used for intermittent frying of potato slices and cod filets at a temperature of 175?5?C for 5 consecutive days. The chemical changes occurring in the oils were evaluated. Free fatty acid content, peroxide value, specific extinction at 232 nm, polar compounds colour and viscosity of the oils all increased, whereas the iodine values, smoke points, polyunsaturated fatty acid content, induction period and tocopherol concentration decreased. The effect of the oils on the organoleptic quality of these fried foods was also determined by expert panellists. The analytical and sensory data showed that the lowest deterioration occurred in cold pressure produced oil and the highest in n -hexane extracted oil. Therefore, cold pressure oil appears to be the most appropriate for frying. Potatoes and cod were also fried in virgin olive oil in order to have a direct comparison between the different oils. The results clearly indicated that virgin olive oil has the highest resistance to thermal deterioration during frying compared with the other two oils.

  Tsaknis, J., Lalas, S. Gergis, V. Dourtoglou, V. Spiliotis, V. 1999

  The oil from Moringa oleifera variety Mbololo seeds from Kenya was extracted using three different procedures including cold press (CP), extraction with n-hexane (H), and extraction with a mixture of chloroform/methanol (50:50) (CM). The oil concentration ranged from 25.8% (CP) to 31.2% (CM). The density, refractive index, color, smoke point, viscosity, acidity, saponification value, iodine value, fatty acid methyl esters, sterols, tocopherols (by HPLC), peroxide value, and E1cm(1%) at 232 and 270 nm and the susceptibility to oxidation measured with the Rancimat method were determined. The oil was found to contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic (up to 75.39%). The dominant saturated acids were behenic (up to 6.73%) and palmitic (up to 6.04%). The oil was also found to contain high levels of beta-sitosterol (up to 50.07%), stigmasterol (up to 17.27%), and campesterol (up to 15.13%). alpha-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols were detected up to levels of 105.0, 39.54, and 77.60 mg/kg of oil, respectively. The induction period (at 120 degrees C) of M. oleifera seed oil was reduced from 44.6 to 64.3% after degumming. The M. oleifera seed oil showed high stability to oxidative rancidity. The results of all the above determinations were compared with those of a commercial virgin olive oil.

• Utilization of Malunggay (Moringa oleifera Lam.) Leaves in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Flat Noodle Production
  Abilgos, Risa G., Barba, Corazon V. C. 1999

  The possibility of incorporating Malunggay leaves as source of micronutrients for supplementing rice flat noodle was studied. Five, ten, and fifteen percent of rice flour was substituted with cooked Malunggay leaves slurry. Sensory evaluation revealed that flat noodle with 5 level of supplementation had comparable quality to the control in terms of odor, texture, flavor, and general acceptability. Addition of sauce, sauteeing, and cooking in soup of flat noodles generally improved the sensory quality and acceptability of all treatments. Acceptable flat noodle was perceived to be (1) light green, (2) odorless, (3) with a characteristic bland or flat flavor and (4) chewy and firm in texture. Iron and ? Carotene content increased with level of substitution from 5 to 15 . Nutritional contribution for protein, iron and vitamin A of one serving each of 5 and 10 substituted flat noodles computed as percent recommended dietary allowance (RDA) were found to be significant. A 75 g of 5 malunggay noodle will meet 143 and 134 of the RDA of 4-6 and 7-9 years old children for vitamin A, respectively. Similarly, 328 and 307 of the RDA for Vitamin A will be provided by a serving of 10 malunggay supplemented noodle to 4-6 and 7-9 years old children, respectively.

• Irradiation inactivation of some antinutritional factors in plant seeds.
  Abu-Tarboush, H.M., 1998

  Effects of gamma-irradiation (1.0-10 kGy) on trypsin, chymotrypsin, and alpha-amylase inhibitors of soybean and Moringa peregrina seeds on tannin of sorghum, gossypol of cottonseed, and in vitro digestibility of soybean were investigated. A dose of 10.0 kGy caused decreases in trypsin (by 34.9%) and chymotrypsin (by 71.4%) inhibitor activities in soybean defatted flour, whereas its in vitro digestibility increased from 79.8 to 84.2%. The alpha-amylase inhibitor activity of Al-Yassar (M. peregrina) was decreased by 43.6 and 47.8% upon treatment of 7.0 and 10.0 kGy, respectively. Doses of 10.0 and 7.0 kGy significantly reduced the tannin content in Shahlla sorghum but not in Hemaira sorghum. Total and free gossypol contents were slightly reduced by irradiation.

• Biochemical composition of some unconventional Indian leafy vegetables.
  Awasthi, C. P., Tandon, P. K. 1988

  The nutritional attributes of 15 unconventional leafy vegetables (both cultivated and wild) consumed in different parts of rural India, were determined. Among different vegetables under investigation, the leaves of Moringa oleifera, Glyine max and Solanum nigrum had a high protein value as well as low fibre content which could make them suitable for the extraction of leaf proteins for use as a low-cost source of proteins. Some of these leafy vegetables, particularly the leaves of Trichosanthes dioica, Vicia faba and Carthamus tinctorius, have a high fibre content and would be useful in supplementing the dietary constituents needed for preventing obesity and coronary diseases.

• Rural nutrition interventions with indigenous plant foods - a case study of vitamin A deficiency in Malawi.
  Babu, S. C., 2000

  Identification, propagation, and introduction of a nutritionally rich, indigenous plant species in the existing cropping system are presented in this paper as a method of rural nutrition intervention. A case study of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.; Moringaceae), which is a common tree in Malawi and one of the richest sources of vitamin A and vitamin C compared to the commonly consumed vegetables is presented to address the problem of vitamin A deficiency. After a brief review of the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency and the efforts to reduce its incidence in Malawi, Moringa is suggested as a potential solution to the problem. A framework for designing nutrition intervention with Moringa is described for actual implementation. It is argued that attempts to identify, document, and encourage the utilization of nutrient-rich indigenous plants could be cost-effective, and a sustainable method of improving the nutritional status of local populations.

• Mineral composition of non-conventional leafy vegetables.
  Barminas, J.T., Charles, M. Emmanuel, D. 1999

  Six non-conventional leafy vegetables consumed largely by the rural populace of Nigeria were analyzed for mineral composition. Mineral contents appeared to be dependent on the type of vegetables. Amaranthus spinosus and Adansonia digitata leaves contained the highest level of iron (38.4 mg/100 g and 30.6 mg/100 g dw, respectively). These values are low compared to those for common Nigerian vegetables but higher than those for other food sources. All the vegetables contained high levels of calcium compared to common vegetables, thus they could be a rich source of this mineral. Microelement content of the leaves varied appreciably. Zinc content was highest in Moringa oleifera, Adansonia digitata and Cassia tora leaves (25.5 mg/100 g, 22.4 mg/100 g and 20.9 mg/100 g dw, respectively) while the manganese content was comparatively higher in Colocasia esculenta. The concentrations of the mineral elements in the vegetables per serving portion are presented and these values indicate that the local vegetables could be valuable and important contributors in the diets of the rural and urban people of Nigeria. The mean daily intake of P, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn were lower than their recommended dietary allowances (RDAs). However, the manganese daily intake was found not to differ significantly ( p = 0.05) from the RDA value.

• Bioavailability trials of beta-carotene from fresh and dehydrated drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) in a rat model.
  Nambiar, V.S., Seshadri, S. 2001

  Male albino rats (Charles Foster, n = 40) were fed a synthetic diet deficient in vitamin A for 4 weeks. Six rats died during the depletion period. Of the 34 surviving, 5 rats were continued on the vitamin A deficient diet for 4 more weeks and 24 were repleted with vitamin A (4000 IU/kg diet) in the form of vitamin A acetate (group A, n = 8), fresh drumstick leaves (group B, n = 8) or dehydrated drumstick leaves (group C, n = 8) for 4 weeks. The remaining 10 rats were continued on the vitamin A adequate diet for 4 (n = 5) and 8 weeks, respectively (n = 5). A marked reduction in food intake, body weight, accompanied by clinical signs of vitamin A deficiency and a decline in serum vitamin A (29.2 to 19.1 g/dL) and liver vitamin A (3.7 to 2.0 g/dL) were seen at the end of 4 weeks of feeding a vitamin A deficient diet. On repletion significant improvements in clinical signs, food intake and body weights were noted in the three groups compared to the baseline (n = 5) and at the end of 4 weeks of depletion. The gain in body weight was highest for the group repleted with dehydrated drumstick leaves. Among the repleted groups, the serum vitamin A was highest for group A (34.7 g/dL) given synthetic vitamin A, compared to group B (25.8 g/dL) and group C (28.2 g/dL) given drumstick leaves. All these were significantly higher than the serum vitamin A values seen at the end of 4 weeks of depletion (19.1 g/dL). A significant improvement was also observed in the liver retinol levels on repletion for 4 weeks in the three groups, compared to the vitamin A depleted rats. These results imply that -carotene from drumstick leaves was effective in overcoming vitamin A deficiency although serum vitamin A levels remained somewhat lower compared to the group repleted with vitamin A acetate. In terms of growth parameters, the fresh and dehydrated drumstick leaves were better than the synthetic vitamin A. It is therefore concluded that in the developing countries like India, sources of vitamin A such as drumstick leaves are valuable in overcoming the problem of vitamin A deficiency.

• In-vitro availability of iron in various green leafy vegetables.
  Chawla, S., Saxena, A. Seshadri, S. 1988

  Iron availability in vitro was in amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus ), colocasia (Colocasia antiquorum ), drumstick (Moringa oleifera ), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum ), shepu (Peucedanum graveolens ) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea ) 2.8, 3.6, 3.4, 4.6, 3.7 and 2.8% total Fe, respectively. The green leafy vegetables contained total Fe 99, 160, 125, 51, 109 and 66 mg/kg, ionizable Fe 4.9, 6.6, 6.2, 8.8, 7.0 and 5.0% total Fe, ascorbic acid 992, 641, 1525, 571, 265 and 290 mg/kg, and oxalic acid 7.83, 0.94, 1.01, 0.16, 2.08 and 6.62 g/kg, correspondingly. The results indicated that the availability of Fe in vitro from different green leafy vegetables was neither a function of their total Fe content nor related to their ascorbic acid content, but slightly affected by their oxalate content.

• Vitamin contents of the flowers and seeds of Moringa oleifera.
  Dahot, M. U., 1988

  Flowers of Moringa oleifera were collected during November/December and seeds in the dry state from mature fruit in June to August. Contents were estimated according to standard methods. A significant amount of thiamin, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, folic acid, pyridoxine, ascorbic acid, -carotene and -tocopherol were detected in seeds and flowers. Flowers were particularly rich in riboflavin, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid and folic acid. Seeds contained significantly more thiamin, -carotene and -tocopherol. A comparison is tabulated with 7 popular vegetables considered to be good sources of those vitamins. Results indicate that flowers and seeds of Moringa oleifera contain more of the vitamins.

• Foliar nutrient and nutritive content of Central American multipurpose tree species growing at Comayagua, Honduras.
  Hunter, I. R., Steward, J. L. 1993

  Seedlings from a collection of 20 Central American dryland tree and shrub species were planted in the Comayagua valley on alluvial soil, within their native range. The species comprised Moringa oleifera, Leucaena salvadorensis, Mimosa tenuiflora, Gliricidia sepium, Guazuma ulmifolia, Parkinsonia aculeata, Albizia niopoides, Acacia deamii [Acacia deanei ], Acacia farnesiana, Caesalpinia coriaria, Caesalpinia eriostachys, Albizia saman, Senna atomaria, Simarouba glauca [Quassia simarouba ], Prosopis juliflora, Crescentia alata, Cordia alliodora, Swietenia humilis, Enterolobium cyclocarpum and Hymenaea coubaril [Hymenaea courbaril ]. Their performance and nutritional health in their native range is of interest to foresters growing them as exotics. Foliage samples were collected from the trees in a replicated, designed trial at the end of their second growing season. There were very large variations in foliar nutrient content between species (threefold for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium; sevenfold for calcium and magnesium; and sixfold for boron), which were not related simply to the relative size differences of the plants. It is suggested that there could be an opportunity to use particular species to increase specific soil nutrient levels by mulching, or to use fodder to redress animal health problems caused by poor mineral nutrition. Four of the species tested might be poor sources of animal fodder - Quassia simarouba and Crescentia alata because of low N content and high fibre content, and Caesalpinia coriaria and Caesalpinia eriostachys because of high lignin content.

• Teneur en provitamine A de feuilles vertes traditionnelles du Niger. Provitamin A content of traditional green leaves from Niger.
  Delisle, H., Bakari, S. Gevry, G. Picard, C. Ferland, G. 1997

  168 samples of 15 plant species (Adansonia digitata , Amaranthus hybridus , Cassia tora , Corchorus tridens , Gynandropis gynandra , Hibiscus sabdariffa , Moringa oleifera , Vigna unguiculata , Allium cepa , Cassia occidentalis , Tribulis terrestris , Ceratotheca sesamoides , Hibiscus esculentus , Leptadenia hastata and Maerua crassifolia ) were collected during the rainy season from 3 different villages in western Niger. In each village, 3 different women provided a sample of every leaf species available for every processing method used. The mean provitamin A level for the 57 samples of dried leaves was 2273 plus or minus 1152 retinol equivalents (RE)/100 g, ranging from a low of 861 in A. digitata to a high of 3681 in C. sesamoides . The variance was very high and significant differences were observed among plant species and collection sites. Fresh boiled leaves had 1333 plus or minus 596 RE/100 g and steamed leaves 928 plus or minus 526 RE/100 g. For fresh leaves, in addition to species and site, the cooking method was significantly associated with the provitamin A level. For 4 species cooked either way boiled leaves had a higher provitamin A content than steamed leaves, on a fresh and dry weight basis; this difference could not be ascribed to cooking time. Per dry weight unit, leaves collected in the dried state had roughly half the provitamin A content of samples cooked fresh and steamed leaves had half as much provitamin A as boiled samples of the same species. After adjustment for the processing method, species with the highest level of provitamin A, on a dry weight basis, were A. cepa , C. sesamoides and H. sabdarifa . It is suggested that fresh boiled greens should be distinguished from other green leaf dishes, in view of their provitamin A content. Based on children's food intake data, the estimated contribution of green leaves was on average two-thirds of the safe retinol intake level, but with a wide range.

• Consumption pattern of carotene rich foods and development of a year calendar.
  Devadas Rajammal, P., Chandrasekhar, U. Premakumari, S. Saishree, R. 1996

  The consumption pattern of -carotene rich foods in 500 households in Coimbatore, India, was studied. Green leafy vegetables, particularly agathi (Sesbania grandiflora ), drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera ) and amaranthus (Amaranthus gangeticus ) [Amaranthus tricolor ], were inexpensive sources of -carotene. From data on availability, season and cost, a year calendar of -carotene-rich foods for the district was developed. The amount and cost of these foods to meet the pre-school child and adult requirements of vitamin A was calculated. The effects of cooking (boiling, steaming, shallow fat frying) on the -carotene content of 5 commonly consumed foods, drumstick leaves, mullakeerai (A. spinosus ), thandukeerai (A. gangeticus ), carrot (Daucus carota ) and pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima ) were studied. Cooking losses were maximum in boiling and minimum in frying. The year calendar could be used to select high-carotene foods for increasing the beta-carotene intake in the community.

• Nutrient contents and antinutritional factors in conventional and non-conventional leafy vegetables.
  Gupta, K., Barat, G. K. Wagle, D. S. Chawla, H. K. L. 1989

  Tender green leaves of conventional and non-conventional vegetables were evaluated for nutritional and antinutritional factors, which depict their quality. Crude protein, ether extract and ash varied from 15.7 to 28.5, 1.0 to 6.5 and 9.2 to 20.4%, respectively. Amaranthus flavus (amaranth), Colocasia esculenta (colocasia), Moringa oleifera (drumstick), Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek), Azadirachta indica (neem) and Telfairia occidentalis (pumpkin) are good sources of neutral-detergent fibre (NDF) and acid-detergent fibre (ADF). Those vegetables are rich sources of major and trace elements. Calcium, phosphorus and zinc varied from 0.9 to 2.9, 0.4 to 1.2% and 17.5 to 46.2 mg/kg, respectively. Drumstick contained most flatus factors (sucrose + raffinose + stachyose) (5.6%) followed by neem (3.2%) and colocasia (2.2%). Amaranth had most nitrate, oxalate, trypsin inhibitor and phytate. Amounts of amino acids were variable in those vegetables. Protein was positively correlated with NDF, copper, iron, Zn and manganese, and negatively correlated with ADF, phytate, phenol and saponin contents. Saponin was positively correlated with sugar, Fe and Zn contents. Phytate was negatively correlated with saponin, Cu, Zn, NDF and ADF but positively correlated with phenol.

• The nutritional quality and acceptability of weaning foods incorporating amaranth.
  Rathod, P., Udipi, S. A. 1991

  Weaning foods (24 mixtures) were prepared in India with 3 main ingredients: the cereal (malted wheat, raw milled rice, puffed rice or rice flakes); grain amaranth (roasted, malted or puffed); dried green leafy vegetable (spinach or drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera )). Mixtures based on malted wheat provided most energy, protein and retinol. The rice-based mixtures provided less protein, although addition of powdered milk improved protein content. Mixtures with spinach provided more iron and retinol than did those with drumstick leaves. Intake and acceptability trials were made with 25 children 6 to 18 months old of the mixtures from each of the 4 cereal groups which were found to be most acceptable in sensory evaluation trials. Of the mothers 76 to 85% reported that the mixtures were accepted by their children. There were significant increases (P <0.01) in all nutrient intakes during the trial with the increase in energy, Fe and retinol greater than that for protein and calcium.

• Nutritional study on drumstick seed (Moringa oleifera) oil.
  Raval, D. A., Toliwal, S. D. 1996

  The drumstick seed (Moringa oleifera ) oil was refined and analysed to determine its chemical characteristics and fatty acid composition. The major fatty acid in the oil was oleic comprising 76.8% of the total fatty acids in the oil along with palmitic, stearic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidic acids. The oil was fed, for 28 days, to weanling albino rats to study its nutritional effects. At 10% in the diet, the oil promoted a growth rate comparable to that of diet containing groundnut oil. No adverse effect of the drumstick seed oil was observed.

• Nutrient content of the edible leaves of seven wild plants from Niger.
  Freiberger C.E., Vanderjagt D.J. Pastuszyn A. Glew R.S. Mounkaila G. Millson M. Glew R.H 1998

  Wild plants play an important role in the diet of the inhabitants of Niger. These plants tend to be drought-resistant and are gathered both in times of plenty as well as times of need. Used in everyday cooking, famine foods may be an important source of nutrients. The goal of this study was to investigate the nutritional role of wild plants in the nig?rien diet. To this end, leaves of seven plants species were analyzed for their mineral, amino acid and fatty acid contents: Ximenia americana, Amaranthus viridus, Corchorus tridens, Hibiscus sabdarifa, Maerua crassifolia, Moringa oleifera, and Leptadenia hastata. Ximenia americana} contained large amounts of calcium. Large quantities of iron were present in Amaranthus viridus. All seven plants contained significant amounts of selenium and phosphorus. Corchorus tridens contained the most protein (19?25% dry weight), and its composition compared favorably to the World Health Organization's standard for essential amino acids. Moringa oleifera contained 17% protein and compared favorably with the WHO standard. Corchorus tridens contained the largest amounts of the two essential fatty acids linoleic and -linolenic acids. These results reinforce the growing awareness that wild edible plants of the Western Sahel can contribute useful amounts of essential nutrients, including amino acids, fatty acids and trace minerals, to human diets.

• Influence of protein and fat on the utilisation of carotene from drumstick (Moringa oleifera) leaves. Enriched title: Influence of protein and fat on the utilisation of carotene from drumstick (Moringa oleifera) leaves [Food and nutrition]
  Geervani, P., Devi, A. 1981

  The effect of protein and fat on the utilization of carotene derived from drumstick (Moringa oleifera) leaves was studied with weanling rats. Rats given a diet with 5% protein had less vitamin A and more carotene in serum and liver; rats given a diet with 10% protein had more vitamin A and less carotene in serum and liver. Rats given a diet with animal protein stored more vitamin A in the liver. When fat in the diet was decreased from 10 to 5%, vitamin A in liver decreased but did not change in plasma. Rats given drumstick leaves stored less vitamin A than did rats given pure beta -carotene or vitamin A acetate.

• Use of legumes and green leafy vegetables for infant and young child feeding: summary of results of studies in three different parts of India.
  Gopaldas, T., Ramakrishnan, I. Grewal, T. Rajalakshmi, R. Devadas, R. P. 1973

  A survey in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh in April and May 1972 included 360 families in 17 villages in a tribal and a non-tribal district, Dhar and Sehore. Diet of children aged 6 to 36 months studied by oral questionnaire for 216 families, and attitudes to food, child care and health were noted for 261 families. Proportion of children eating dhal (split dried legume seed) rose markedly with age and the daily intake, among those who ate dhal, was about 25 g on average. It varied widely even in age groups. The most frequently eaten, in descending order, were Cajanus cajan dhal, Cicer arietinum flour, Phaseolus aureus dhal, Cicer arietinum dhal and fresh in the pod. The last is eaten in season as a vegetable but is thought indigestible for very young children. Dry legumes are classed as "hot" and conducive to flatulence, constipation and phlegm. Phaseolus mungo is "heavy" as well as hot. Only P. aureus is "light" and easily digested. Children under 2 years of age are given Cajanus cajan and P. aureus well mashed as a soup. Flatulence is the reason given for withholding dried legume from young children, but legumes are recognised as "strength-giving".In Gujarat at a rural play centre, children aged 8 months to 5 years in feeding trials lasting several months were given wheat:Bengal gram [Cicer arietinum] 4:1 and leafy vegetables, cooked by traditional methods. There was no ill effect and nutritional status improved. Children to 2 years of age could take 30 to 40 g of the mixture and 15 to 30 g green vegetable; older children took 100 to 120 g mixture and 20 to 30 g green vegetable. In one study, children aged 2 to 5 years got wheat:gram:groundnut 1:1:2. Children tolerated grain better than beans.In Coimbatore, locally available legumes and cereals were prepared by simple recipes to suit the convenience of rural mothers and the taste of the children. Infants aged 6 months to a year got them cooked, mashed and strained to a soup; children aged 1 to 3 years got traditional recipes. Mixtures provided cereal 25, legume 10 g, a feed for infants, and cereal 40, legume 20 g for children. Other recipes had legume 10, green vegetable 15 g for infants and 30 g each for children; some recipes included more than one legume. Legumes studied were Cajanus cajan, Cicer arietinum, Dolichos biflorus, Phaseolus aureus and P. mungo. Of green leafy vegetables, Amaranthus spinosus and A. tristis were preferred to Sesbania grandiflora or Moringa oleifera, that were more coarse and bitter. Vegetables had to be mixed with the other foods because the infants would not eat them alone. Mixtures were well accepted in long-term feeding and there was no digestive disturbance.

• Nutritional and haemagglutination properties of several tropical seeds.
  Grant, G., More, L. J. Mckenzie, N. H. Dorward, P. M. Buchan, W. C. Telek, L. Pusztai, A. 1995

  The nutritional potential of a number of raw tropical seeds was assessed in a series of feeding trials with rats. Seed lectin reactivity was also monitored. -amylase and trypsin inhibitory activities were determined in some of the seeds. Abelmoschus esculentus, Chenopodium quinoa, Delonix regia, Macroptilium lathyroides, Papaver somniferum, Parkia biglandulosa, Sesbania arabica, Terminalia catappa, Vigna subterranea, Vigna umbellata and Vigna unguiculata seeds supported moderate rat growth. The seeds contained only low levels of essentially non-toxic lectin, moderate amounts of trypsin inhibitors and negligible quantities of -amylase inhibitors and they have great potential as dietary protein sources for man and animals. Artocarpus altilis, Canavalia ensiformis, Canavalia maritima, Dioclea grandiflora, Phaseolus acutifolius, Phaseolus coccineus and Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Processor, cv. Rosinha G2 and cv. Carioca 80 seeds were toxic. These seeds contained high levels of potentially toxic lectins. Other antinutritional factors may also have contributed to the high oral toxicity of some of these seeds. Albizia adinocephala, Albizia lebbeck, Bauhinia violacea, Cassia nodosa, Cassia tora, Dioclea sclerocarpa, Entada phaseoloides, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Leucaena leucocephala and Moringa oleifera seeds were also highly toxic but had only low levels of essentially non-toxic lectins suggesting that the toxicity was due to other anti-nutritional factors. Bauhinia reticulata, Macrotyloma uniflorum and Tamarindus indica proteins were poorly digest and utilized. The seeds contained low levels of lectins which agglutinated only rat and cattle erythrocytes which had been pre-treated with suitable proteases. Brownea macrophylla had a similar lectin reactivity

  The retention of Fe, Ca, P, vitamin C, thiamin and riboflavin by drumsticks (Moringa), cluster beans and French beans after boiling, steaming or cooking under pressure was studied. It was difficulty to judge which was the best method of cooking because the same method caused loss of different nutrients to different degrees, in the same vegetable. Pressure cooking was considered best as it gave the maximum retention of minerals and vitamins.

• Energy and micronutrient composition of dietary and medicinal wild plants consumed during drought. Study of rural Fulani, northeastern Nigeria.
  Lockett CT, Calvert, C.C. Grivetti, L.E. 2000

  Two rural settled Fulani villages, northeastern Nigeria, were surveyed for dietary practices and use of edible wild plants (n = 100 households). Commonly consumed species of edible wild barks, fruits, leaves, nuts, seeds, and tubers were analyzed for protein, fat, and carbohydrate and for minerals. Kuka bark (Adansonia digitata) given to infants to increase weight gain was high in fat, calcium, copper, iron, and zinc. Cediya (Ficus thonningii), dorowa (Parkia biglobosa) and zogale (Moringa oleifera) were good sources of protein and fat and excellent sources of calcium and iron or copper and zinc. Fruits, leaves, and nuts of aduwa (Balanites aegyptiaca) were widely used during the dry season and during drought. Edible wild species available during the wet season generally were inferior in energy and micronutrient mineral content compared to dry season plants. Fruits commonly eaten by children were poor sources of protein and minerals but rich in carbohydrate and fiber. Tsamiya seeds (Tamarindus indica) were good sources of zinc and used to make dawwa (porridge) commonly consumed during pregnancy. Kirya seeds (Prosopos africana) contained the highest zinc concentrations. Shiwaka leaves (Veronia colorate) consumed by pregnant women to increase breastmilk production and to expel intestinal worms, were high in fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and were adequate sources of calcium.

• Nutritional evaluation of tropical leaves for pigs: pepsin/pancreatin digestibility of thirteen plant species.
  Ly, J., Samkol, P. Preston, T. R. 2001

  Thirteen types of tropical trees and shrubs available in the ecological farm of UTA, at Chamcar Daung, Cambodia, were selected for a screening test to evaluate in vitro pepsin/pancreatin digestibility of N and to explore the possible interdependence with other non-conventional tests for assessing nutritive value of foliages for pigs. Leaves and petioles were from Acacia auriculiformis , Artocarpus heterophyllus , Borassus flabellifer , Cocos nucifera , Desmanthus virgatus , Eucalyptus spp, Flemingia macrophylla , Gliricidia sepium , Hibiscus rosasinensis , Leucaena leucocephala , Moringa oleifera , Morus alba and Trichanthera gigantea . DM, N and NDF range of values were 21.0 to 60.9%, 1.27 to 4.13% and 24.1 to 73.0% in dry basis, respectively. It was found that an increase in pepsin/pancreatin, in vitro N digestibility was associated with less NDF-linked N (R2 0.50; P <0.007) and lower dry matter content (R2 0.58; P <0.002) in leaves, and higher values of DM solubility (R2 0.67; P <0.001), in vitro DM digestibility (R2 0.76; P <0.001) and N water solubility (R2 0.82; P <0.001). Highest in vitro N digestibility coefficients were obtained for Moringa oleifera (79.2%), Hibiscus rosasinensis (74.2%), Gliricidia sepium (69.4%) and Morus alba (47.9%). The lowest in vitro N digestibility was observed for palmaceae (Cocos nucifera , 9.4% and Borassus flabellifer , 5.1%). It is suggested that simple, cheap and easy methods can be used for the nutritional evaluation for pigs of leaves of trees and shrubs in the tropical world.

• Nutritive value and antinutritional components of whole and ethanol extracted Moringa oleifera leaves
  Makkar H.P.S, Becker K. 1996

  Chemical constituents, organic matter digestibility, gross and metabolizable energy, rumen degradable and undegradable nitrogen, amino acid composition, digestion kinetics (leaves, their neutral-detergent fiber and cell solubles), and antinutritional factors were determined in extracted (80% aqueous ethanol; the extract is used as a source of growth promoting factors) and unextracted Moringa oleifera leaves. The metabolizable energy and organic matter digestibility predicted from the extent of fermentation in in vitro incubation were 9.2 MJ kg-1 and 75.7% for the extracted leaves and 9.5 MJ kg-1 and 74.1% for the unextracted leaves. The crude protein contents of the extracted and unextracted leaves were 43.5 and 25.1% respectively. The true protein contents of these leaves were 93.8% and 81.3% of the total crude protein (non protein nitrogen contents of 2.7 and 4.7% were observed in the extracted and unextracted leaves). In vitro rumen crude protein degradability at 24 h of incubation was 44.8 and 48.6% for the extracted and unextracted leaves. One of the factors responsible for the low rumen protein degradability could be the low solubility of the proteins (about 7 and 24% of the crude protein was soluble in phosphate buffer (pH 7, 0.05 M) for the extracted and unextracted leaves). The protein insoluble in acid-detergent fiber (ADIP; protein unavailable to animals) was 13.2 and 9.8% in ADF of the extracted and unextracted leaves respectively (absolute values of 22 g and 11 g ADIP kg-1 leaves). The protein potentially digestible in the intestine (PDI) was 50 and 47% of the total crude protein for the extracted and unextracted leaves respectively. The rate (h-1) and potential extent (ml g-1) of gas production calculated using the exponential model for the extracted and unextracted leaves were 0.0424 and 274.3, and 0.0824 and 248.5 respectively. These values for their NDF were 0.0542 and 265.8, and 0.0645 and 271.7 and for their cell solubles were 0.0338 and 286.3, and 0.089 and 242.2 respectively.M. oleifera leaves had negligible tannins; saponins content (5.0% as diosgenin equivalent) was similar to that present in soyabean meal, and trypsin inhibitors and lectins were not detected. The phytate content was 3.1%. The ethanol extracted leaves were virtually free of tannins, lectins, trypsin inhibitors and saponins, and phytate content was 2.5%.All essential amino acids including sulfur-containing amino acids were higher than adequate concentration when compared with recommended amino acid pattern of FAO/WHO/UNO reference protein for a 2 to 5-year-old child.

• Plant toxins and detoxification methods to improve feed quality of tropical seeds.
  Makkar, H. P. S., Becker, K. Nitis, I.M (ed) Shin, M.T. (ed) 1999

  Many antinutritional and toxic factors abound in tropical seeds, which are also generally rich in nutrients and therefore more prone to attack from herbivores. Antinutritional and toxic factors are considered to defend seeds against environmental vagaries and thus help to protect them. These factors though good for the plant, cause deleterious effects or are even toxic to animals and man. The conventional seeds cultivated for oil or non-oil purposes, and general aspects of antinutritional factors are not presented here as these have already been discussed widely by many workers. Deficits in conventional protein and energy sources in the tropics have stimulated a quest for alternative feeds both for animals and humans. This article attempts to highlight two new oilseed crops, Jatropha curcas and Moringa oleifera , and also deals with some under-utilized seeds with potential as animal feed. Most of these seed plants are adapted to various marginal growing conditions in the tropics and can help to mitigate the prevailing deficit in protein and energy sources. Antinutritional and toxic factors in seed or seed meal, various approaches to detoxify seed meal, and future research and development priorities for their exploitation as animal feeds are presented.

• Nutrients and antiquality factors in different morphological parts of the Moringa oleifera tree.
  Makkar, H.P.S., Becker, K. 1997

  Moringa oleifera grows throughout most of the tropics and has several industrial and medicinal uses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of different morphological parts of this tree as animal feed. The crude protein (CP) content of leaves, soft twigs and stems was 260, 70 and 60 g kg respectively. About 64, 79 and 67 % of the total CP present in the leaves, twigs and stems respectively was found to be degradable after 24 h in the rumen. The protein insoluble in acid detergent fibre (ADIP), considered unavailable to animals, in these samples was 30, 150 and 170 g kg respectively. About 87 % of the total CP was in the form of true protein in the leaves (60 and 53 % in twigs and stems respectively). The leaves had negligible amounts of tannins (12 g kg), and trypsin and amylase inhibitors, lectins, cyanogenic glucosides and glucosinolates were not detected. The saponin content of the leaves was 80 g kg as diosgenin equivalent, which did not show any haemolytic activity. The phytate content of the leaves was 21 g kg. Tannins, saponins, cyanogenic glucosides and glucosinolates were detected in twigs and stems but the concentrations were negligible. Trypsin and amylase inhibitors were not detected in twigs and stems. Phytate contents of both twigs and stems were c. 30 g k. In leaves, amounts of all the essential amino acids were higher than the amino acid pattern of the FAO reference protein and comparable to those in soyabeans. The CP and lipid contents of the kernel were 370 and 420 g kg respectively, and the CP of the meal (fat-free) was 610 g kg. The kernels and meal are extracted with water and the extract is used for the purification of water in some developing countries. The residues left after water extraction of kernels and meal (designated as extracted-kernel and extracted-meal) had a CP content of 350 and 700 g kg respectively and all of this CP was in the form of true protein. After taking into account the ADIP contents in these samples, c. 38 and 69 % of the total protein was calculated to be available in the post-rumen in extracted-kernel and extracted-meal respectively. The pepsin digestibility of these samples was 91 and 84 % respectively. The sulphur-containing amino acids in kernel proteins were present at higher concentrations than those specified in the amino acid pattern of the FAO reference protein but other essential amino acids were deficient. Amongst the antinutritional factors mentioned above, glucosinolates and phytate were present in appreciable amounts (65.5 mol g and 41 g kg respectively) in meal. Haemagglutination activity was also detected in the meal. The extracted-meal was virtually free of all the antinutritional factors examined except for phytate (67 g kg). The leaves of Moringa oleifera and the residue obtained after the recovery of oil and coagulants can be good sources of proteins for animal feeds.

• Cytokinins in developing fruits of Moringa pterigosperma Gaertn.
  Nagar, P.K., Iyer, R.I. Sircar, P.K. 1982

  Zeatin and zeatin riboside were identified in a butanol soluble fraction and a zeatin nucleotide was identified in a butanol insoluble fraction from immature 30-40 cm long M. pterigosperma [oleifera] fruits. Cytokinin activity was measured at 10 stages of maturity (in fruits up to 50 cm long). On a concentration basis the cytokinin level rose until fruits were 15-20 cm long (up to 1.O mu g kinetin equivalents/g fresh weight) and then reached a plateau. On a per fruit basis the cytokinin content peaked at stage 8 when fruits were 35-40 cm long (6.6 mu g kinetin equivalents/fruit). Cytokinin activity was also observed from t-RNA of fruit tissue.

• Compositional and nutritional attributes of seeds from the multiple purpose tree Moringa oleifera Lamarck.
  Oliveira, J.T.A., Silveira, S.B. Vasconcelos, I.M. Cavada, B.S. Moreira, R.A. 1999

  Moringa oleifera Lam is a multipurpose tree cultivated to use as a vegetable, for spice, for cooking and cosmetic oil and as a medicinal plant. Owing to the use of its seeds as food and as a clarifying agent of turbid water some nutritional and antinutritional characteristics were studied. The mature seeds contained 332.5 g crude protein, 412.0 g crude fat, 211.2 g carbohydrate and 44.3 g ash per kg dry matter. The essential amino acid profile compared with the FAO/WHO/UNU scoring pattern requirements for different age groups showed deficiency of lysine, threonine and valine. The content of methionine + cysteine (43.6 g kg (-1) protein), however, was exceptionally higher and close to that of human milk, chicken egg and cow's milk. The seed extract agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes but did not show trypsin inhibitor and urease activities. Feeding rats with a diet containing the seed meal showed loss of appetite, impaired growth, lower NPU and enlargement of stomach, small intestine, caecum+ colon, liver, pancreas, kidneys, heart and lungs and atrophy of thymus and spleen in comparison with rats fed on an egg-white diet. The results indicated that consumption of M. oleifera raw mature seeds should be viewed with some caution until suitable processing methods are developed to abolish the yet unknown adverse factors.

• Availability of calcium from kilkeerai (Amaranthus tricolor) and drumstick (Moringa oleifera) greens in weanling rats
  Pankaja, N., Prakash, J. 1994

  The present study was undertaken to determine the extent of calcium absorption in weanling rats from two types of greens rich in oxalates. The edible portions of greens namely kilkeerai (Amaranthus tricolor) and drumstick (Moringa oleifera) were analysed for moisture, calcium and total and soluble oxalates. Three groups of 6 male weanling albino rats were fed ad libitum on milk diet and two experimental diets containing greens. Urine and faecal samples were collected for a period of 7 days after 5 days of acclimatization period and were analysed for calcium. From the values obtained percent absorption and retention of calcium were calculated. Results revealed that calcium absorption and retention from milk diet (92 and 78%, respectively) were significantly higher than greens

• Nutrition gardens.
  Patil, J. S., 1987

  To overcome the problem of malnutrition among the tribal families of Thane District of Maharashtra, India, a self-help programme of setting up nutrition gardens was initiated. The populations were encouraged to grow drumstick (Moringa aptera ) and agasta (Sesbania grandiflora ) as vegetable trees, and mango (Mangifera indica ), seetaphal (Annona squamosa ), jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus ) and bor (Ziziphus mauritiana ). Training was given on common ailments caused by malnutrition, importance of vegetables and fruits in the diet, growing drought-resistant vegetable trees and fruit trees, techniques of plant propagation, simple recipes using fruits and vegetables, and low-cost methods of fruit and vegetable preservation. As a result of the growing of the garden trees, the diet of the tribal families, which hitherto was of cereals, now contains vegetables and fruits.

• Analysis of nutritional components of eight famine foods of the Republic of Niger.
  Sena, L.P., Vanderjagt, D.J. Rivera, C. Tsin, A.T.C. Muhamadu, I. Mahamadou, O. Millson, M. Pastuszyn, A. Glew, R.H. 1998

  In the western Sahel, indigenous plants become important staples when cereal harvests are inadequate to support populations inhabiting that region of Africa. The purpose of this study was to assess the nutrient content of several of these edible wild plants. The leaves of the following seven plant foods were analyzed: Ziziphus mauritiana, Cerathotheca sesamoides, Moringa oleifera, Leptadenia hastata, Hibiscus sabdarifa, Amaranthus viridi, and Adansonia digitata. The fatty acid, vitamin E, carotenoid, selected mineral and amino acid contents of these plant foods were determined. These same analyses were performed on the fruit of the Adansonia digitata. In quantitative and qualitative terms, Amaranthus viridis was found to be an excellent source of protein. Its amino acid composition compared favorably to that of a World Health Organization (WHO) protein standard. It also contained considerable amounts of the two fatty acids that are essential in humans (linoleic and -linolenic) and a number of minerals including iron, magnesium, calcium and zinc. The leaves of Hibiscus sabdarifa contained an appreciable quantity of protein the composition of which was comparable to the WHO standard. The mineral content of the leaves of this plant was also exceptionally high; noteworthy was its high zinc content. H. sabdarifa also contained significant quantities of the two essential fatty acids. Ziziphus mauritiana was an excellent source of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid and several of the metals including iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Its content of other essential nutrients, however, was rather low. In general, Adansonia digitata leaves were nutritionally superior to the fruit of the tree; however, the fruit did contain useful quantities of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and -linolenic acid. The Leptadenia hastata leaves were an especially good source of lutein and -carotene. These data should be useful to the people who inhabit the western Sahel in helping them devise healthy diets during times when cereal staples are in short supply.

• Unconventional leafy vegetables as a source of minerals.
  Shingade, M. Y., Chavan, K. N. 1996

  Studies were undertaken to assess the mineral composition of the leaves and edible stems of 10 species of unconventional leafy vegetables (3 of them woody species) growing naturally in degraded forest areas or on agricultural waste land nearby at Dapoli [in Maharashtra], and compare them with 2 conventional sources (math, Amaranthus tricolor ; and spinach, Spinacia oleracea ). Math, drumstick (Moringa oleifera ), takala (Cassia tora ) and bharangi (Clerodendrum serratum ) contained comparatively high amounts of phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and drumstick was rich in sulfur (179.35 mg/100 g). The quantity of micronutrients such as iron and boron was high in math, drumstick and ghol (Portulaca oleracea ). Boron was maximum in drumstick (41.63 ppm). There was not much variation in copper and manganese contents of the species tested, but the zinc content was maximum in unconventional leafy vegetables, namely drumstick, takala, phodsi (Chlorophytum tuberosum ) and dhandgi (Tricholepis amplexicaulus ). The other unconventional species for which data are reported are katemath (Amaranthus spinosus ), cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata ), kawala (Smithia sensitiva ) and kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica ).

• Chemical composition of some green leafy vegetables grown in Tanzania.
  Sreeramulu, N., 1982

  Analyses of moisture, ash, protein, fibre, ether extractives and carbohydrate are tabulated for foliage of 22 cultivated and wild vegetable species. Cassia tora, Gynandropsis gynandra, Solanum nigrum and Moringa oleifera contained the highest protein, followed by Basella alba [rubra ], Amaranthus gangeticus [tricolor ] and Celosia argentea. These 7 species had low fibre values; extraction of leaf proteins would be aided by this high protein:fibre ratio. Fibre was highest in Amaranthus viridis (21.3 g/100 g) and lowest in M. oleifera (5.7 g). Most species were good sources of both carbohydrate and protein.

• Retention and storage stability of beta-carotene in deshydrated drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera)
  Subadra, S., Monica, J. Dhabhai, D. 1997

  Drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) procured from home gardens were shade dried after steam blanching or after steam blanching followed by sulphiting in 0.2% potassium metabisulphite solution and were stored in polythene containers having double lids for three months. The samples were analyzed for total carotene, beta-carotene and ascorbic acid in the fresh form, immediately after drying and on 30, 60 and 90 days of storage. Analysis of fresh leaves revealed that they contained 27.1 mg of total carotene, 17.4 mg of beta-carotene, and 143.6 mg of ascorbic acid per 100 g. Sulphiting in addition to blanching was more effective in the retention of beta-carotene immediately after dehydration (72% vs. 59%) and at the end of one month of storage (64% vs. 51%) but not at the end of 90 days of storage (53% vs. 47%). The shade-dried drumstick leaves when rehydrated and incorporated into recipes suffered further losses of beta-carotene, which were smaller in recipes that involved steaming and shallow frying (27% and 31%) but greater in recipes that involved repeated boiling and stirring (65%). All recipes were rated as highly acceptable and two of them per one serving provided the full RDA for pre-school children. Thus dehydrated drumstick leaves have the potential to serve as a valuable source of beta-carotene in the diets of the population in India and other developing countries.

• Analysis of carotenoids in vegetables by HPLC.
  Tee, E. S., Lim, C. L. 1992

  A combination of HPLC, open-column chromatography and UV-VIS spectrophotometry was used to analyse saponified and non-saponified extracts of the edible parts of 4 green leafy vegetables (drumstick leaves [Moringa oleifera ], Sauropus androgynus, spinach and wolfberry leaves [Lycium sp.]), 2 vegetable legumes (French bean [Phaseolus vulgaris ] and long bean [Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis ]), tomatoes and carrots. Carotenoid peaks were identified using 7 reference standards. In tomato and carrot, the HPLC profile was similar for the saponified and non-saponified extracts, but for all the other vegetables, the non-saponified extract profiles had extra peaks probably corresponding to non-carotenoid pigments. A peak with a retention period of 10.5 min, corresponding to that of the -carotene standard was found in all the vegetables. A peak at 10.0 min (-carotene) was found in carrot only and a peak at 7.4 min (lycopene) was found in tomato only. A peak at 3.7 min (probably lutein) was found in the leafy vegetables, the legumes and tomato. Saponification caused some loss of lutein (the maximum loss was 43% in M. oleifera ) but had little effect on -carotene and -carotene concentrations. The total carotenoid content could be calculated from the absorbance reading of the saponified extracts at 450 nm, except for tomato, which had a maximum absorption at 470 nm.

• Nutritional value of Moringa.
  Verma, S.C., Banerji, R. Misra, G. Nigam, S.K. 1976

  Moringa or drumstick, Moringa concanensis, contained in seed more protein and fat, rich in oleic acid, than M. oleifera. Seed fat was 33 and 27%, and protein in detoxified seed meal 72.6 and 50%, respectively. Leaves contained 55 to 59, 79 to 134, tender pods 76 to 107, 76 to 132 and mature pods 103 to 130, 93 to 144 mg vitamin C/100 g, respectively, for 2 and 11 clones.

• Home gardening for combating vitamin A deficiency in rural India.
  Vijayaraghavan, K., Nayak, M. U. Bamji, M. S. Ramana, G. N. V. Vinodini Reddy 1997

  A three-year study [date not given] was carried out in 20 villages, affecting 3585 households, across 2 agroclimatic regions Andhra Pradesh, India, to assess the possibility that home gardening could increase the availability of -carotene-rich foods, increase consumption of these foods by pre-school children and therefore decrease the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency. After a baseline survey, seeds and seedlings of carotene-rich foods were distributed by trained village assistants to households with pre-school children. Multimedia nutrition education was provided by village assistants and district-level supervisors. An evaluation at the end of 3 years revealed that there was a more than 6-fold increase in the percentage of households with home gardens. 85% of these households were growing seasonal greens such as amaranth and spinach, in addition to perennials such as drumstick (Moringa oleifera ), papaya and bachali (Basella alba ). The frequency of consumption of carotene-rich foods (more than once a week) increased by about 50% over that observed at baseline. About 50% of the households with surviving drumstick plants were consuming their leaves, compared with none at baseline. The prevalence of Bitot's spots [foamy deposits on the conjunctiva associated with vitamin A deficiency] showed a declining trend, with increasing duration of participation. It is concluded that the home gardening approach is feasible and may be a recommended long-term strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency in rural India.

• A preliminary evaluation of turbidity removal by natural coagulants indigenous to Venezuela
  Diaz A., Rincon N. Escorihuela A. Fernandez N. Chacin E. Forster C.F. 1999

  The ability of two plant materials, Cactus latifaria and the seeds of Prosopis juliflora, to act as natural coagulants was tested using a synthetic water formulated to resemble the drinking water supplied to the city of Maracaibo. Turbidity was added as kaolin. The coagulation ability of the two materials was assessed by the use of standard jar test measurements. Both materials produced comparable turbidity removals and were able to produce a final water whose turbidity was close to the required standard of 5NTU with both high (100-200 NTU) and low (30-40 NTU) initial turbidities. This was comparable with the performance achieved by previous workers using Moringa oleifera extracts. The optimum coagulant dose was found to be lower than that for aluminium sulphate. Treatment of the raw vegetable solids with solvents produced coagulants which, in some cases, were different from the raw materials and suggested that non-polar material might be involved with the coagulation process.

• Fied trials of appropriate hydraulic floculation processes.
  Folkard, G.K., McConnachie, G.L. Mtawali, M.A. 1999

  Hydraulic flocculation has been used for water treatment throughout the world for many years and is particularly well suited for developing countries. Two types of flocculator are described, a horizontal-flow channel system, for which aspects such as retention time, channel slope, rapid mixing methods and baffle insertion were assessed and a contact flocculation-filter (CFF). Pilot plant tests were carried out over two years at Thyolo Water Treatment Works in Malawi using river water with crushed seed kernels from the indigenous tree Moringa oleifera Lam. (M. oleifera) or aluminium sulphate as coagulant. Both flocculation systems were able to reduce turbidity to below the World Health Organisation's guideline value of 5NTU for drinking water from raw water with average turbidities during test runs ranging from 15-5600NTU. The CFF method was particularly effective at low turbidities where <1NTU was attained at low dosages (<25mg/l) of M. oleifera. ''Flash'' mixing of coagulant using a simple equivalent of an in-line vortex mixer was shown to give more efficient treatment than mixing by alternative methods. M. oleifera as coagulant is shown to be feasible for treating river water for communities up to small town size and its production close to treatment plants would obviate importation of chemicals thus saving on foreign exchange, provide economic development of rural communities and reduce potential health hazards from chemical overdosing.

• Moringa Oleifera a natural coagulant
  Gaikwad, R. W., Pardeshi, U. K. 2001

  Moringa Oleifera, a natural polyelectrolyte, can be used as primary coagulant. As coagulant it is non-toxic and biodegradable, also environment-friendly unlike alum. Comparative studies suggest that Moringa Oleifera can be used for water treatment in shelled and non-shelled forms. The optimum dosage of shelled Moringa Oleifera seeds was almost the same, while in case of non-shelled seed, dosage was greater for low initial turbidity waters.

• Isolation and characterization of a flocculating protein from Moringa oleifera Lam.
  Gassenschmidt, U., Jany, K.D. Tauscher, B. Niebergall, H. 1995

  A flocculating protein from the seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam. was isolated by extraction with phosphate buffer followed by cation exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of the protein determined by SDS-PAGE was about 6.5 kDa, the isoelectric point was above pH 10. Amino acid analysis and sequencing showed high contents of glutamine, arginine and proline, and a total of 60 residues. The amino terminus is blocked by pyroglutamate. The flocculant capacity, determined in glass powder suspension, is comparable to that of a cationic polymer on polyacrylamide basis. Flocculation activity may be explained by the patch charge mechanism due to low molecular weight and high charge density.

• Water purification with Moringa seeds from Dian Desa.
  Indonesia, Dian Desa, 1985

  This paper describes a method for water treatment in rural areas of the tropics. The work was carried out in a test village in Indonesia by Dian Desa, a non-governmental organization involved in rural development. Seeds of Moringa oleifera were ground up and added to water in a clay jar fitted with 2 outlet tubes and bungs. After 2 h most solids had coagulated and fallen to the bottom of the container. Water was run off through the upper outlet tube into a second jar for storage. This is necessary as protein from the dissolved seeds starts to ferment and smell after 12 h. [Presumably, the lower outlet tube is for removal of the coagulated solids.] The treatment resulted in the removal of 98% of coliform organisms and no side-effects were observed in those consuming the water.

• Chapter 2. Water treatment with traditional plant coagulants and clarifying clays.
  Jahn, S.A.A., 1986

  The results are described of experimental water treatment with traditional plant materials from the Sudan including seeds of 5 Moringa species (M. oleifera, M. peregrina, M. stenopetala, M. longituba and M. drouhardii ), 2 bean species (Vicia faba and Faba fona ) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum ); bark of the tree Boscia senegalensis ; and dried stalks and fruits of the herb Blepharis persica. Three clays (or 'rauwq' = clarifier) from different regions in the Sudan, and alum, were also tested. The best coagulants/clarifying agents were Moringa seeds and B. senegalensis bark; these often had an efficiency similar to alum. M. peregrina was the least effective species in some experiments. Dosages, methods, and other possible plant coagulants are discussed.

• Proper use of African natural coagulants for rural water supplies
  Jahn, S.A.A., 1986

  A second manual by this author on water purification - the first [Schriftenreihe der GTZ No. 117, 'Traditional water purification in tropical Developing Countries. Existing methods and potential application'] was published in 1981. The book provides a multi-disciplinary scientific assessment of attempts to introduce natural coagulants for domestic water treatment in the Sudan as a basis for further project strategies. Although the studies refer mostly to the Sudan, observations and experiences are discussed more generally for the tropics, and some of the experimental work was also carried out in Europe. The most important natural coagulant is seed from the fast-growing multipurpose species Moringa oleifera from India, which is sporadically grown in the Sudan and also cultivated in many other tropical countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. There are 6 chapters, including one on Moringa, and 4 appendices (on Moringa and Moringaceae): 1. Annual fluctuations in raw water quality (Blue Nile, White Nile, Green-Belt Irrigation Canal); 2. Water treatment with traditional plant coagulants and clarifying clays; 3. Special microbiological and toxicological studies on water purification and water storage; 4. Cultivation of Moringa trees; 5. Introducing domestic water treatment to rural people; 6. Practical guide to domestic water coagulation and hygienic water storage; Appendix 1. The importance of Moringa ovalifolia as a potential flocculant crop; Appendices 2-4. Vernacular names of Moringa oleifera, other Moringaceae and less known plants tested as flocculating plant materials.

• Effect of a water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds on the hydrolytic microbial species diversity of a UASB reactor treating domestic wastewater.
  Kalogo, Y., Rosillon, F. Hammes, F. Verstraete, W. 2000

  The effect of a continuous supply of a water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds (WEMOS) on the hydrolytic microbial population of biomass grown in mesophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors treating domestic wastewater was investigated. The WEMOS-treated sludge had seemingly a wider diversity, with enterobacter and klebsiella as dominant hydrolytic bacteria, compared with the control sludge. Additional tests indicated that various hydrolytic bacteria could degrade WEMOS. It appeared that a continuous supply of WEMOS to an anaerobic digester, treating domestic wastewater, increased the diversity of hydrolytic bacteria and therefore enhanced the biological start-up of the reactor.

• Technical,feasibility of the treatment of domestic wastewater by a CEPS-UASB system.
  Kalogo, Y., Verstraete, W. 2000

  Raw domestic wastewater was treated continuously under laboratory conditions for 170 days by a chemically enhanced primary sedimentation (CEPS) followed by an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The CEPS was carried out with 70 mg FeCl l from day 1 to 82 and with 24 ml l of the water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds from day 83 to 170. Compared to the natural primary sedimentation (NPS), the CEPS increased the ratio of soluble chemical oxygen demand to volatile suspended solids (CODs VSS) of the supernatant by a factor 3 and 10 respectively. Although the FeCl increased the CODs VSS ratio, it caused a decrease of the soluble content of the wastewater by a factor 1.4. This resulted in a low influent concentration supplied to the UASB reactor and consequently a low biogas production. However, the reactor achieved 54% removal of total COD (CODt) at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2 hours and a volumetric loading rate (Bv) of 1.4 g COD l.d. The Moringa oleifera seeds, besides the increase of CODs VSS ratio, also allowed to increase the CODs content of the wastewater by a factor 2.2. As a consequence, the reactor produced a higher amount of biogas. The reactor achieved 71% removal of CODt at a HRT of 2 hours and a Bv of 4 g COD l.d. The UASB reactor operated without the need to discharge regularly the biological excess of sludge produced. The implementation of the CEPS can decrease the volume needed by a conventional one step UASB reactor by a factor 0.4.

• Enhancing the start-up of a UASB reactor treating domestic wastewater by adding a water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds.
  Kalogo, Y., M'Bassiguie Seka, A. Verstraete, W. 2001

  Water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds (WEMOS) was used to enhance the start-up of a self-inoculated upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating raw domestic wastewater. Two reactors labelled control (RC) and WEMOS addition (RM) were started without special inoculum. Both reactors were fed continuously for 22 weeks with domestic wastewater containing an average total chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 320 mg O2/l and suspended solid (SS) of 165 mg/l. The reactors operated during the entire experimental period at 29 degrees C and at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4 h. The RM reactor received 2 ml WEMOS per litre of influent. WEMOS solution was prepared on the basis of 2.5% (w/v) ground M. oleifera seeds in water. The results of 22 weeks' operation showed an improvement in the performance of the RM compared to that of the RC. The dosage of WEMOS in the feed (1) shortened the biological start-up period by 20%, (2) increased acidogenic and methanogenic activity by a factor of 2.4 and 2.2 respectively, (3) increased the specific biogas production by a factor of 1.6, (4) favoured fast growth of the sludge bed, and (5) allowed the aggregation of coccoid bacteria and growth of microbial nuclei, which are precursors of anaerobic granulation.

• Effect of water coagulation by seeds of Moringa oleifera on bacterial concentrations
  Madsen M, Schlundt, J. El Fadil, E. O. 1987

  In Sudan, water from the Nile and other sources is treated with a suspension of seeds of Moringa oleifera (horse-radish tree) to remove turbidity. The authors describe a series of experiments on the effectiveness of this method for waters of different degrees of turbidity including water from the Blue Nile and White Nile. Water samples were pre-warmed to 30 deg C and inoculated with mixtures of different types of bacteria to give viable counts of 105-106/ml of water before treatment with a filtrate of Moringa seeds. There were marked decreases in turbidity (80.0-99.5%) and numbers of viable bacteria (90.00-99.99%) during the first 1-2 h. No regrowth was observed during the 24-h observation period for Vibrio cholerae (NAG), Streptococcus faecalis or Clostridium perfringens and regrowth was variable for Escherichia coli. However, regrowth was observed for Salmonella typhimurium and Shigella sonnei. Consequently, the authors suggest that the traditional indicators of faecal pollution in temperate climates may not be suitable for tropical waters and that detection of pathogens might be more appropriate. This procedure, however, would depend on the relative numbers of pathogens and indicator organisms present in the water. R.A.E. Barrell

• Coagulation of low turbidity surface waters with Moringa oleifera seeds.
  Muyibi S.A., Okuofu, C. A. 1995

  The use of Moringa oleifera seed extracts both as primary coagulant aid and its conjunctive use with alum in treating low turbidity waters was studied. The laboratory based studies used the natural polyelectrolyte to treat waters with turbidities between 23 and 90 ntu, obtained from three surface water sources in Kano, Nigeria. On the average, 50% turbidity removal was achieved when Moringa oleifera was used as primary coagulant. In combination with alum, the rates at which flocs were formed were the same or often faster than with alum alone. In this study, between 40 and 80% savings in alum was observed. When used as a coagulant aid, the optimum dose was found to be 10 mg l while that of alum was 20 mg l. Finally, it was observed that the time Moringa oleifera is applied (after slow mixing), is critical in determining the efficiency of coagulation. The optimum time for this was found to be 50 seconds after slow mixing.

• Moringa oleifera Seeds for Softening Hardwater
  Muyibi S.A., Evison L.M. 1995

  In this paper, preliminary investigations into the possible use of Moringa oleifera seed suspension for the softening of hardwater are presented. Four water sources: synthetic water (distilled water spiked with calcium chloride), naturally hard surface water and groundwater from two tube wells at different locations were used for the study. Modified laboratory jar test procedures for coagulation studies were used for the experimental runs. Water hardness from the sources varied from 300 up to 1000 mg/l as CaCO3. The mechanism for softening was found to be due to adsorption with the adsorption isotherm approximating to the Langmuir type, and conversion of soluble hardness-causing ions to insoluble products by precipitation reactions. Removal efficiency was found to increase with increasing dosage of Moringa oleifera. Higher dosages were required to achieve equivalent residual hardness for water samples with the same initial hardness but higher number of hardness-causing species in the water. Hardness removal was found to be independent of pH of the raw water.

• Optimizing physical parameters affecting coagulation of turbid water with moringa oleifera seeds
  Muyibi, S.A., Evison L.M. 1995

  Moringa oleifera is a plant coagulant and coagulant aid which has potential for use on a large scale for treatment of turbid waters in tropical developing countries. This paper presents results of optimization studies on physical factors including rapid mix velocity gradient and time, slow mix velocity gradient and time, and dosage of M. oleifera for low, medium and high raw water turbidities (50-750 NTU). Regression analysis was also carried out to study the effect of multiple factor interaction in the coagulation of turbid water with M. oleifera. This was carried out using the results of experimental runs involving varying initial turbidity, M. oleifera dosage, rapid mix velocity gradient, slow mix velocity gradient, and slow mix time.

• Coagulation of turbid water and softening of hardwater with Moringa oleifera seeds.
  Muyibi, S.A., Evison, L.M. 1996

  In this study, the effects of 5 process variables on softening hardwater and coagulation of surface water with a M. oleifera seed extract were investigated. Multiple regression analysis showed a strong correlation (R (adj.) = 0.99 between M. oleifera seed dosage and the initial hardness of synthetic hardwater. Since M. oleifera is known to be a polyelectrolyte, the softening mechanism is likely to be adsorption. An adsorption isotherm developed was approximately linear and conformed to the Langmuir type. For the coagulation studies, the water samples were from three rivers in Kano, Nigeria over a three month period during the rainy season (June-August 1994). The turbidity of the water sample varied from 105-350 NTU. When used as primary coagulant, M. oleifera was able to achieve up to 99% turbidity removal for two of the water samples at the optimum dosage of 250 mgfl. For the third water sample, the optimum dosage was 450 mg l which is assumed to be due the high value of the colour of the water. Saving in alum usage of up to 40% was achievable when M. oleifera was used in conjunction with alum.

• Softening hard wellwaters with Moringa oleifera seed extracts.
  Muyibi, S.A., Okuofu, C. A. 1996

  A study into the use of Moringa oleifera seed extract in the softening of hard water has been carried out with samples from 17 hand-dug wells in Kano metropolis, Nigeria. Of the 17 samples tested, 7 contained calcium and magnesium hardness while 10 contained calcium hardness only. The softening dose of Moringa oleifera varied from 700-2000 mg l and the required dose increased with initial hardness of the samples. The level of softening was found to be directly proportional to the dose used; and water samples with both calcium and magnesium hardness required more Moringa oleifera than samples with only calcium hardness, to achieve the same level of softening. All samples had hardness reduced to < 200 mg CaCO, the highest desirable concentration of hardness in drinking water recommended by the WHO. The softening mechanism was postulated to be a combination of adsorption and precipitation of the soluble hardness causing ions to insoluble solids flocs. The adsorption isotherm developed was linear and of the Langmuir type.

• Moringa oleifera seeds as a flocculant in waste sludge treatment
  Muyibi, Suleyman Aremu, Noor, Megat Johari Mohd Ding Tai Ong Khor Woon Kai 2001

  In this study the results of a laboratory based investigation to determine the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera seeds as a flocculant for activated sludge treatment are presented. Waste sludge samples are activated sludge from Taman Dr. Tun. Ismail Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment plant, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Moringa oleifera seed was applied as dry powder (shelled blended), solution (shelled blended), and solution (shelled blended oil extracted). Results of vacuum filtration studies showed that residual sludge volume of up to 11%, 20% and 45% for shelled blended oil extracted, shelled blended, and control (no Moringa applied), respectively, was achievable. Sludge volume reduction of up to 67% was achievable using gravity settling for shelled blended solution and 48% for shelled blended oil extracted respectively compared to the control. The shelled blended category applied in powder form performed the same as the solution of shelled blended but performed better than the shelled blended oil extracted category in gravity settling. The specific cake resistance of sludge treated with shelled blended Moringa oleifera averaged 2.5 ? 10 m kg at 4000mg l dosage. Vegetable oil from the shelled Moringa oleifera of up to 30% was obtained as a by product.

• Active agents and mechanism of coagulation of turbid waters using moringa oleifera
  Ndabigengesere A., NarasiahM K.S. Talbot B.G. 1995

  Moringa oleifera is a tropical plant whose seeds contain an edible oil and water soluble substance which has excellent coagulation properties for treating water and wastewater. The efficiency and properties of Moringa oleifera as a natural coagulant in water treatment were studied and compared with alum, which is presently the most widely used industrial coagulant. It is shown that the active agents in aqueous Moringa extracts are dimeric cationic proteins, having molecular weight of 13 kDa and isoelectric points between 10 and 11. The mechanism of coagulation with Moringa oleifera appears to consist of adsorption and neutralization of the colloidal charges. Compared to alum, the optimal dosage of shelledMoringa oleifera seeds was almost the same (50 mg/1). In case of the non-shelled seeds, the dosage is greater (500 mg/1) for low initial turbidity waters. The purified proteins are more effective coagulants than alum. As a coagulant, Moringa is non-toxic and biodegradable. It is environmentally friendly, and unlike alum, does not significantly affect the pH and conductivity of the water after the treatment. Sludge produced by coagulation with Moringa is not only innocuous but also four to five times less in volume than the chemical sludge produced by alum coagulation. So, as a coagulant, Moringa oleifera may be a potentially viable substitute to alum.

• Influence of operating parameters on turbidity removal by coagulation with Moringa oleifera seeds.
  Ndabigengesere, A., Narasiah, K.S. 1996

  A model turbid water was treated with Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural coagulant and various phenomena like coagulation - flocculation and sedimentation were observed in detail using jar-test equipment under laboratory conditions. Influence of pH, temperature, cation concentration and anion concentration of test water was studied. Also investigated was the effect of intensity and duration of rapid mixing as well as slow mixing on turbidity removal. Experiments were conducted at optimum dosage of a crude 5% (wt v) water extract of dry non-shelled Moringa oleifera seeds. It was found that variation of pH, cation concentration, anion concentration, and rapid mixing did not significantly affect the coagulation activity of Moringa oleifera seeds, while temperature and slow mixing did. Lower temperatures increased the residual turbidity, and in case of slow mixing, an optimal intensity and duration of 40 RPM and 40 minutes respectively were found, which corresponds to a velocity gradient G equal to 25 sec and a product Gt value of 6 x 10. Hence, for best results in turbidity removal in coagulation with Moringa oleifera seeds, only slow mixing is recommended at the optimum intensity and duration. Longer sedimentation time should be provided when treating colder waters.

  A model turbid water was treated by coagulation-flocculation and sedimentation, with Moringa oleifera seeds as a coagulant, using jar tests. The quality of the treated water was analyzed and compared with that of the water treated with alum. Experiments were conducted at various dosages of the crude 5% water extract of both dry, shelled and non-shelled Moringa oleifera seeds. Measurements of pH, conductivity, alkalinity, cation and anion concentrations, showed that coagulation with Moringa oleifera seeds did not significantly affect the quality of the treated water. However, concentration of organic matter in the treated water increased considerably with the dosage of Moringa solution. Since this organic matter might exert a chlorine demand and also act as precursor of trihalomethanes during the disinfection with chlorine, it is suggested that Moringa oleifera seeds be used as a coagulant in water and wastewater treatment, only after an adequate purification of the active proteins.

• Use of Moringa oleifera seeds as a primary coagulant in wastewater treatment
  Ndabigengesere, A., Subba Narasiah, K. 1998

  Samples of municipal and industrial wastewaters were treated by coagulation-flocculation and sedimentation, using a crude water extract of dry Moringa oleifera seeds as a primary coagulant. The quality of the treated wastewater was analyzed and compared to that of the wastewater treated with alum. Experiments were conducted at various dosages of the crude 5% (wt v) water extract of dry shelled and non-shelled Moringa oleifera seeds, using jar-test equipment. Parameters of quality of the wastewaters were measured before and after the treatment to evaluate the removal efficiency on the major pollutants of concern in wastewater treatment, such as suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen), microorganisms and heavy metals. Results showed that Moringa oleifera seeds were efficient as a primary coagulant in wastewater treatment for removal of suspended solids and microorganisms, and also removal of some metals. Nutrients and COD were not successfully removed. COD and nutrients were somehow increased by coagulation using Moringa oleifera seeds. Compared to alum, Moringa oleifera seeds produced 4 to 6 times less sludge volume. Alum was found to be quite effective in phosphorus removal. The increase in COD and nutrients observed in the case of Moringa oleifera seeds might be avoided by using purified proteins instead of the crude water extract.

• The use of Moringa oleifera (dan-da-lun) seed for the sedimentation and decontamination of household water. Part II: community-based study.
  Nyein, M. M., Aye, T. Khine, W. W. Wai, K. T. Tun, S. Htwe, S. S. Myint, T. Swe, T. 1997

  The seeds of Moringa oleifera were tested as clearing and sedimentation agents in household water in Thaung Gyi Lay village with 110 households. Questionnaires were completed for each household and follow-up visits were carried out to ascertain the hypothetical acceptability (attitude), initial acceptability (behaviour) and experimental acceptability. It was observed that 78.9 per cent of the people accepted to use Moringa oleifera seeds if these were easily available. For continuous use of Moringa oleifera seeds, 47.3 per cent wanted to use, 44.7 per cent could not decide and only three households (2.7 per cent) did not want to use these. It was observed that the taste and pH of water did not change after treatment with Moringa oleifera seeds. There was no complaint about the treated water. This study will highlight the acceptance to use Moringa oleifera seeds for the sedimentation of turbid water.

• Improvement of extraction method of coagulation active components form Moringa oleifera seed.
  Okuda, T., Baes, A.U. Nishijima, W. Okada, M. 1999

  A new method for the extraction of the active coagulation component from Moringa oleifera seeds was developed and compared with the ordinary water extraction method (MOC-DW). In the new method, 1.0moll-1 solution of sodium chloride (MOC-SC) and other salts were used for extraction of the active coagulation component. Batch coagulation experiments were conducted using 500ml of low turbid water (50 NTU). Coagulation efficiencies were evaluated based on the dosage required to remove kaolinite turbidity in water. MOC-SC showed better coagulation activity with dosages 7.4 times lower than that using MOC-DW for the removal of kaolinite turbidity. MOC-SC could effectively coagulate more than 95% of the 50 NTU initial kaolin turbidity using only 4mll-1, while 32mll-1 of MOC-DW could only remove about 78% of the same kaolin turbidity. The improvement of coagulation efficiency by NaCl is apparently due to the salting-in mechanism in proteins wherein a salt increases protein-protein dissociations, leading to increasing protein solubility as the salt ionic strength increases. There was no difference in the coagulation efficiency observed for extracts using any of four 1:1 salts (NaCl, KNO3, KCl and NaNO3) in our study. Purification and isolation of the active component confirmed that the active component of MOC-SC was mainly protein.

• Coagulation mechanism of salt solution-extracted active component in Moringa oleifera seeds.
  Okuda, T., Base, A.U. Nishijima, W. Okada, M. 2001

  This study focuses on the coagulation mechanism by the purified coagulant solution (MOC-SC-pc) with the coagulation active component extracted from M. oleifera seeds using salt solution. The addition of MOC-SC-pc tap water formed insoluble matters. This formation was responsible for kaolin coagulation. On the other hand, insoluble matters were not formed when the MOC-SC-pc was added into distilled water. The formation was affected by Ca2+ or other bivalent cations which may connect each molecule of the active coagulation component in MOC-SC-pc and form a net-like structure. The coagulation mechanism of MOC-SC-pc seemed to be an enmeshment of Kaolin by the insoluble matters with the net-like structure. In case of Ca2+ ion (bivalent cations), at least 0.2mM was necessary for coagulation at 0.3mgC l-1 dose of MOC-SC-pc. Other coagulation mechanisms like compression of double layer, interparticle bridging or charge neutralization were not responsible for the coagulation by MOC-SC-pc.

• Isolation and characterization of coagulant extracted from Moringa oleifera seed by salt solution.
  Okuda, T., Baes, A.U. Nishijima, W. Okada, M. 2001

  It is known that M. oleifera contains a natural coagulant in the seeds. In our previous research, the method using salt water to extract the active coagulation component from M. oleifera seeds was developed and compared with the conventional method using water. In this research, the active coagulation component was purified from a NaCl solution crude extract of Moringa oleifera seeds. The active component was isolated and purified from the crude extract through a sequence of steps that included salting-out by dialysis, removal of lipids and carbohydrates by homogenization with acetone, and anion exchange. Specific coagulation activity of the active material increased up to 34times more than the crude extract after the ion exchange. The active component was not the same as that of water extract. The molecular weight was about 3000Da. The Lowry method and the phenol-sulfuric acid method indicated that the active component was neither protein nor polysaccharide. The optimum pH of the purified active component for coagulation of turbidity was pH 8 and above. Different from the conventional water extracts, the active component can be used for waters with low turbidity without increase in the dissolved organic carbon concentration.

• Low technology water purification by bentonite clay and Moringa oleifera seed flocculation as performed in Sudanese villages: effects on Schistosoma mansoni cercariae.
  Olsen, A., 1987

  A flocculation technique used to clarify Nile water was used to remove S. mansoni cercariae (Puerto Rican strain) in dechlorinated tap water and artificial Nile water. Rauwag (the main clarifying component of which is bentonite), pure bentonite and Moringa oleifera seeds were used as flocculants. Rauwag from Alti removed 10 to 30% cercariae in one to 5 h, but after longer flocculation (8 and 12 h), the number of cercariae was greater than in control containers. Rauwag from Kutranj was very effective: 40 and > 90% of cercariae were removed in one and 3 h respectively in tap water and 99% (in one and 3 h) in Nile water. Bentonite was also very effective especially in tap water (> 90% at all exposure times). Crushed M. oleifera seed reduced the number of cercariae by 50 and 60% after one and 3 h of flocculation respectively in tap water and by > 90% after 4 h in Nile Water. Rauwag and M. oleifera seeds, but not bentonite, reduced water turbidity. In all tests cercariae liberated from the sediment represented < 4% of the cercariae originally sedimented.

• Microporus carbons from Moringa oleifera husks for water purification in less developped countries.
  Pollard, S. J. T., Thompson, F. E. McConnachie, G. L. 1995

  High quality activated carbon can be prepared from the waste husks of Moringa oleifera, an indigenous tropical plant material. Steam activated husks exhibited a well-developed micropore volume of 0.57 cm g and a corresponding apparent surface area of 734 m g, as determined by BET N adsorption hysteresis. In an assessment of aqueous phase adsorptive performance, activated Moringa carbon was found to be comparable to commercial powdered activated water treatment carbons (PACs) and exhibited a Langmuir monolayer coverage constant (Q) of 1.89 mmol g for phenol adsorption from the aqueous phase

• Seeds of Moringa species as naturally occurring flocculants for water treatment
  Sutherland, J. P., Folkard, G. K. Grant, W. D. 1989

  A three yr study investigated the coagulating properties of seeds of Moringa oleifera and M. stenopetala in laboratory and field conditions. Whole crushed seed kernels of both species were effective in removing turbidity from waters with high initial turbidity (bacterial contamination was reduced by 90-99.9%). The active ingredients, when isolated, were 2 water soluble proteins: freeze drying of this water soluble material provided a means of concentrating the proteins and reducing variation between dosages. This extract was needed in lower doses to give an equivalent performance to the whole crushed seed. Field studies, carried out in Malawi between October 1988 and February 1989, were partly at variance with the laboratory data, as the freeze dried extract of M. stenopetala was needed in greater quantities than the whole seed treatment. Alum and M. oleifera whole seed added in approximate equal concentration, in a process termed 'co-coagulation', resulted in 50-80% reductions in alum usage.

• Pore structure and adsorption characteristics of steam pyrolysis carbons from Moringa oleifera
  Warhurst A.M., Fowler G.D. McConnachie G.L. Pollard S.J.T. 1997

  A series of activated carbons has been prepared from the waste seed husks of the tropical multi-purpose tree Moringa oleifera, using a single-stage steam pyrolysis activation. Carbons were characterised by N2 adsorption, CHN analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were analysed by the BET, t-plot and Horvath and Kawazoe methods. All the carbons were microporous, with those activated at 750oC for 120 minutes (750120) and 800oC for 30 or 60 minutes having the highest BET surface areas, of 730, 713 and 774 m2 g-1, respectively. A simple acid rinse of the 800oC/30 minutes carbon increased the surface area to 932 m2 g-1. The 80060 carbon had the highest mesopore and macropore surface area, 135.7 m2 g-1, compared to 92.7 m2 g-1 for the 80030 carbon. Scanning electron micrographs of the 80030 carbon showed a lignocellulosic macropore structure, cleaned by the steam pyrolysis.These results show that it is possible to produce a high quality microporous activated carbon from M. oleifera husks using a simple single-stage steam pyrolysis activation.

• The production of activated carbon for water treatment in Malawi from the waste seed husks of Moringa oleifera.
  Warhurst, A.M., McConnachie, G.L. Pollard, S.J.T. 1996

  Moringa oleifera is a multi-purpose tree whose seeds can be used as a coagulant in water treatment. The seed husks are currently discarded as a waste, but research has shown that they can be converted into activated carbon by carbonisation at 485oC under N2 for 30 minutes, followed by activation in steam at 850oC for 5 minutes. Here we report an improved method of carbon production, using a single-stage steam pyrolysis activation that is more appropriate for the intended use. Steam pyrolysis at 750oC for between 30 and 120 minutes produced a high quality microporous activated carbon at a yield of between 11 % and 17 %, with increases in soak time giving improved pore development and more mesoporosity. The apparent N2 BET surface area of the M. oleifera carbon produced by soaking at 750oC for 120 minutes was 730.0 m2 g-1, similar to that of the carbon produced previously by the two-stage process, 734.3 m2 g-1. The phenol adsorptive capacities of the carbons pyrolysed at 750oC were similar to a commercial carbon. These results show that it is possible to produce high quality activated carbon from the waste seed husks of M. oleifera using a simple one-stage 750oC steam pyrolysis. This provides a low-cost method of producing activated carbon locally in developing countries for use in water treatment.

  The seed husks of the multipurpose tree Moringa oleifera are potentially a waste product that may be available in large quantities, and previous work has demonstrated that a microporous activated carbon can be produced from them by carbonisation under nitrogen followed by activation in steam. This research examines the efficacy of a simpler and cheaper activation process, single-step steam pyrolysis activation, with a view to promoting the production of low-cost activated carbon in the developing world.Husks were heated in a steam atmosphere to 750oC for 30 or 30 or 120 min, or 800oC for 30 min, then the resulting carbons were tested to determine their iodine numbers and adsorption isotherms for phenol, 4-nitrophenol and methylene blue. Phenol and 4-nitrophenol were adsorbed rapidly by all three carbons, with 80-90% w/w adsorbed in the first 30 min, whereas methylene blue adsorption was slower. Pyrolysis at 800oC for 30 min produced a carbon (yield 12.2% w/w) with an iodine number of 703 mg g-1, a phenol specific surface area (SSA) of 629 m2 g-1, a 4-nitrophenol SSA of 664 m2 g-1 and a methylene blue SSA of 211 m2 g-1. The carbon produced at 750oC for 120 min (yield 11.9% w/w) had similar properties, but the one produced at 750oC for 30 min (yield 16.6% w/w) had a less developed porosity. The adsorbance characteristics of the two best carbons were superior to those produced previously by the conventional two-stage carbonisation-activation, and were competitive with commercial carbons. These results demonstrate that steam pyrolysis activation of M. oleifera husks could provide a low-cost, local source of high quality activated carbon in the developing world.

• Plant materials as natural flocculant in cane juice clarification.
  Wong SakHoi, Tse ChiShum 1999

  There is a continual quest for a natural flocculant for juice clarification in the production of organic sugar as the use of synthetic polyelectrolytes is barred. The clarifying property of the seeds of drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera ) in food and water purification processes is well known in rural areas of developing countries and has been recently exploited in full scale water treatment plants in Africa. Laboratory tests showed that a sieved solution of crushed seeds of M. oleifera , when applied at 0.16% on limed juice produced a solution (52%) clearer than one without a flocculant, but the mud produced was twice in volume. The latter could be reduced by 10% by using bentonite at 0.05% on juice, with the added benefit of reducing the juice turbidity by 10%. The clarifying properties of the edible fruit of Cordia myxa were also investigated. Laboratory tests showed that when solution of C. myxa fruit was added between 0.016 and 0.04% on limed juice, up to 42% clearer solution could be obtained with a reduction of 9% in mud volume. Pilot tests confirmed that C. myxa solution applied for one hour at 0.02% on limed juice actually withheld the rising tendency in the clear juice turbidity during that period.
