Moringa oleifera leaf improves iron status of infants 6-12 months in Nigeria
The study examined the effect of pulverised Moringa oleifera leaf added to maize traditional complementary food (MTCF) on the iron status of infants 6-12 months in Nigeria. Fourty infants were used for the four-week intervention study. The haemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF) and serum retinol (SR) levels of the infants were determined at baseline and at the end of the study. The infants were ...

Studies of Pb2+ adsorption by
Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds from an aqueous medium in a batch systemThe efficiency of Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) seeds for removing lead ions (Pb2+) from water was evaluated. Parameters such as solution pH, adsorbent mass, contact time between solution and adsorbent, isotherms, thermodynamic, kinetics, and desorption were evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the biosorbent was found to be 12.24 mg g−1. In order to verify the ...

Effect of storage of shelled
Moringa oleifera seeds from reaping time on turbidity removalMoringa oleifera is an indigenous plant to Malaysia whose seeds are used for water purification. Many studies on Moringa oleifera have shown that it is highly effective as a natural coagulant for turbidity removal. In this study, two different methods for extraction of Moringa's active ingredient were investigated. Results of sodium chloride (NaCl) and distilled water extraction of Moringa ...

Characterization and use of
Moringa oleifera seeds as biosorbent for removing metal ions from aqueous effluentsMoringa oleifera seeds were investigated as a biosorbent for removing metal ions from aqueous effluents. The morphological characteristics as well as the chemical composition of M. oleifera seeds were evaluated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The FT-IR spectra showed the ...

Removal of Acid Black 1 and Basic Red 2 from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation/
Moringa oleifera seed adsorption coupling in a batch systemThe removal of Acid Black 1 (AB1) and Basic Red 2 (BR2) from aqueous solutions via an electrocoagulation (EC)/Moringa oleifera seeds (MOS) adsorption coupling process by using aluminum and stainless steel electrode in a batch reactor is described in this study. The influences of the operational parameters, i.e. current density, MOS dosage, and dye initial concentration, on degree of color ...

Moringa oleifera functionalised sand – reuse with non-ionic surfactant dodecyl glucoside
Moringa oleifera seeds are well known for their ability to cause flocculation in turbid water and facilitate bacterial inhibition. These effects are due to the cationic polypeptide MO2.1, which affects the surface charge of suspended particles and causes lysis of bacterial cells. However, the attachment of bacteria to MO2.1 prevents further bacterial attachment, reducing the ...

Can superfoods boost the planet’s health, too?
As demand for African and Asian tree-based superfoods grows, researchers and entrepreneurs eye ways to maximize benefits for the environment. It can seem like new health food fads pop up every week — fads that often fade as quickly as they appear. Two gaining steam lately, though, may be worth a longer look: baobab and moringa. Traditional fare in parts of Africa (and for moringa, Asia as ...

Adsorption of colloidal particles of Moringa oleifera seeds on clay for water treatment applications
This work was designed to produce microparticle composite systems from Moringa oleifera seed powder and clay microparticles (CMPs) for use in water treatment applications. Adsorption and immobilization of M. oleifera cationic protein (MOCP), obtained from the seed powder, onto core anionic CMP was carried out in a batch process. The CMP was incubated with MOCP and the formulated composite ...

Restoring Long Term Soil Health in Haiti with Organic Compost
Last summer, we shared results from a research project that was taken on by master’s students at Cranfield University. The students compared the efficiency of SOIL’s organic compost, Konpòs Lakay, to commercial grade chemical fertilizers available on the market. This comparison was used two core Haitian crops: tomato plants and moringa trees. When the preliminary results ...
