Moringa Leaves Powder Steam Treated

Manufacturing

The manufacturing process for Moringa Leaves Powder Steam Treated takes a streamlined approach: High-quality Moringa leaves are carefully selected.  These leaves are subjected to a controlled steam treatment, which inactivates enzymes and may enhance certain properties.  Following the steam treatment, the leaves are carefully dried at low temperatures to retain nutrients and color. Finally, the dried leaves are ground into a fine powder, resulting in a consistent Moringa Leaves Powder Steam Treated for a variety of uses.

Applications

M. oleifera has been used as food or folk medicine in Oriental countries since antiquity. They have traditionally been used for water purification in Asia and Africa, as well as in rural India, the Philippines, Sudan, and Malawi. The high yield of M. oleifera Lam and Moringa seed oil makes M. oleifera seeds suitable for biodiesel production. It is also used as animal feed because of its high nutrient content. M. oleifera leaf or seed powders have been used as a natural food fortifier in a variety of cereal-based food products, including bread, biscuits, cake, fresh and dried pasta, and other snack products.

Geographical Specifications

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to the Indian subcontinent that is widely used in South and Southeast Asia. Moringa is also known as the drumstick tree (because of the long, slender, triangular seed pods), the horseradish tree (because the roots taste like horseradish), and malunggay.

It is extensively cultivated for its young seed pods and leaves, which are used as vegetables and in traditional herbal medicine. It is also used to purify water. Despite being listed as an invasive species in several countries, M. oleifera has "not been observed invading intact habitats or displacing native flora" and thus "should be regarded at present as a widely cultivated species with low invasive potential."
