Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. The purpose of baking soda is to increase the effectivity of the product.
Concern with the mineral elements of only two parts of the malunggay plant.
Chemical components of malunggay leaves. Concern with the mineral elements of only two parts of the malunggay plant. 1 the leaves or leaf blades. And 2 the stalk or leaf stalk.
The malunggay stalks are the small leaf branches in which the leaves are directly attached. When leaves are utilized the leaves are separated from the stalks which are usually thrown away or considered tree. What are the chemical components in Malunggay.
It contains alkaloids moringine which is similar tobenzylamineand moringinineThe leaves also contain atenolol abeta blocker which is. In late 1940s The Department of Biochemistry at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore PLN Rao have found that malunggay or Moringa Oleifera leaves contain a compound pterygospermin that is known in medical science as having antimicrobial antibacterial anti fungal properties. RUBEFACIENT - is an active component of malunggay leaves and a substance for external application that produces a redness of the skin by causing dilation of capillaries and increase blood circulation.
PESTICIDE - chemicals that kill plants or animals. It must be diluted with water oil air or chemically inactive solids. The purpose of this study is to investigate malunggay leaves as cleaning agent.
The malunggay leaves wre separated from the stalk pounde using the mortar and pestle until the extract comes out. The pounded malunggay leaves wre mixed with baking soda and then water. The purpose of baking soda is to increase the effectivity of the product.
Chemical constituents were identified in the leaf methanolic extract. They are 9-octadecenoic acid 2089 L–ascorbic acid- 26- dihexadecanoate1966 14methyl-8-hexadecenal 811 4-. Five chemical constituents were identified in methanolic seed extract and they are oleic acid 84 L- - ascorbic acid- 2 6-dihexadecanoate 980 9-octadecenoic acid 188 methyl ester-hexadecanoic acid 131 and 9-octadecenamide 078.
Finally the composition differences of calcium and potassium were significant between M. Stenopetala leaf powders at p 005 while there were no outstanding differences in the composition of copper manganese iron zinc magnesium and potassium between M. The composition of the extract comprises.
9-Octadecenoic acid Procedure 2089 L- - Ascorbic acid- 2 6- GC-MS analysis of the methanolic dihexadecanoate 1966 14 methyl -8- extract of M. Oleifera leaves and seeds were Hexadecenal 811 4- hydroxyl-4-methyl- performed using Shimadzu Japan gas 2-pentanone 701 3-ethyl-2 4-dimethyl- chromatography QP2010PLUS with a fused pentane 614 and phytol 425 as the GC column 2010 coated with polymethyl major chemical. The leaves were characterized to contain the highest amount of soluble dietary fiber SDF among each part of sweet potato.
The amount of SDF in leaves was 683 on dry matter basis in KS and 577 in BA. The leaves have a specific viscosity like Okra Abelmoschus esculentus when thinly cut Ishida Suzuno Sugiyama Innami Wada Matsumoto 1995. Some of the calcium in moringa leaves is bound as crystals of calcium oxalate.
Oxalate levels may vary from 430 mg100g to 1050 mg100g compared to the oxalate in spinach average 750 mg100g. The leaves are cooked and used in ways similar to spinach and are commonly dried and crushed into a powder for soups and sauces. According to studies 3 tablespoons of powdered malunggay leaves contain 27 percent vitamin A and 22 percent vitamin C which is equivalent to 7 oranges.
It has 42 percent protein 71 percent iron and 125 percent calcium equivalent to 4 glasses of milk. Its potassium content meanwhile is. Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam.
Yielded lutein 1 β-carotene 2 phytyl fatty acid ester 3 polyprenol 4 chlorophyll a 5 β. Phytochemical is chemical compounds produced by plants and the study analyzed that Malunggay leaves were particulary rich in potassium calcium phosphorus iron vitamin A and D Essential amino acids as well as known as antioxidants such as β-carotene vitamin C and flavonoids. Of fresh leaves to the nutrient needs of 13 year old children.
Both dried and fresh leaves appear to contain a substantial amount of the magnesium iron folate and vitamins B-6 A C and E young children need. They are also a moderately good source of calcium niacin protein and dietary fiber. A 1 cup serving of fresh raw leaves.
Malunggay leaves contain lutein which is carotenoid compounds. This compound is most effectively absorbed by the body when consumed with foods containing fat. Health Benefits of Malunggay.
As have been mentioned earlier there are various parts of the malunggay plant which are being used for health reasons. For one the leaves of this plant proved to be a good source of calcium iron ascorbic acid and phosphorus. We chose Moringa Olefeira for a reason.
Gram for gram Malunggay leaves contain. Seven times the vitamin C in oranges four times the Calcium in milk four times the vitamin A in carrots two times and the protein in milk and three times the Potassium in bananas.
