Alternative Solvents for Moringa oleifera Seeds Extraction

Valuation of oil extraction residue from Moringa oleifera seeds for water purification in Burkina Faso

This study is on the reuse of the residue generated by a Moringa oleifera oil extraction plant. The residual oil cake produced during the process of oil extraction retains the positively charged protein of the M. oleifera seed, which is the active component in the process of 15 attracting and capturing suspended particles in waters. Such coagulant–flocculant properties give rise to the eliminat...

Oil Extraction Optimization and Kinetics from Moringa Oleifera (PKM 1) Seeds

Moringa oleifera, seed (PKM 1) was examined for extracted oil recovery under the different designed conditions using Central composite face centered design of Response surface methodology. The kinetics of extraction was investigated and its parameters were determined based on a second order model. The optimum conditions were found at 3.6 h reaction time, temperature, 67.84°C and solvent to soli...

Antimicrobial isothiocyanates from the seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam.

4-(alpha-L-Rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate (1) and 4-(4'-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnosyloxy)-benzyl isothiocyanate (2) isolated from Moringa oleifera seeds were screened for their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and for their antifunga...

Optimization of extraction conditions for the extraction of phenolic compounds from Moringa oleifera leaves.

The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction conditions for the extraction of phenolic compounds from Moringa oleifera leaves using response surface methodology (RSM). A user-defined design was applied to determine the effects of extraction time (min), extraction temperature ((o)C) and ethanol concentration (%), on total phenolic content (TPC) from Moringa oleifera leaves dried by three...
