Amaç: Moringa oleifera Lamarck, Orta Doğu, Afrika ve Asya Ülkeleri’nde yetişen bir bitki olup; bu ülkelerde özellikle bitkinin tohumları ve yaprakları gıda olarak tüketilmektedir.

Sonuç ve Tartışma: Bitkinin yaprak ve tohum kısımları fitokimyasallar açısından oldukça zengin olup; flavonoit, glukosinolat, alkaloit, fenolik asit, terpen, sterol, mineral, vitamin, amino asitler ve yağ asitleri taşımaktadır. Tohumlardan elde edilen yağ ise; esansiyel yağ asitleri omega 3, 6 ve 9 açısından çok zengin olması sebebiyle zeytinyağına alternatif bir besin kaynağı olarak görülmektedir. Bitkinin tüm kısımları (yaprak, tohum, kök ve çiçek) insan ve hayvan tüketimine uygun olarak bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte bitkinin su arıtımı, biyodizel olarak kullanımı, kozmetik sektörü gibi gıda dışı alanlarda da değerlendirildiği bilinmektedir. Bitkinin biyolojik etkileri konusunda uluslararası saygın dergilerde yayımlanmış bilimsel çalışmalar mevcuttur. Yapılan araştırmalar ile bitkinin içerdiği fitokimyasallar sebebiyle antioksidan, antimikrobiyal, antikanser, antidiyabetik ve kardiyovasküler riskleri önleyici etkileri ispatlanmıştır.

SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF MORINGA OLEIFERA

Öz

Objective: Moringa oleifera Lamarck is a plant grown in Middle East, Africa and Asian countries, where seeds and leaves of the plant are consumed as food in these countries.

Result and Discussion: The leaf and seed parts of the plant are very rich in phytochemicals; high content of flavonoids, glucosinolates, alkaloids, phenolic acids, terpenes, sterols, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. As for the oil obtained from the seeds; It is seen as an alternative food source to olive oil because it is very rich in essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9. All parts of the plant (leaves, seeds, roots and flowers) were found suitable for human and animal consumption. However, it is known that the plant is also used in non-food areas such as water treatment, use as biodiesel, and cosmetics sector. There are scientific studies published in internationally respected journals about the biological effects of plant. The researches revealed that, phytochemicals contained in the plant have proven their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and preventive effects on cardiovascular risks.
