Intensification of antioxidant-rich extract from moringa oleifera leaves using different solvents: Optimization and characterization.

Natural antioxidants have gained a huge amount of interest due to their ability to combat devastating ailments such as obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Rich in phenolics and flavonoids, Moringa Oleifera (MO) has piqued the interest of many researchers. MO plants have numerous nutritional and therap...

Intensification of antioxidant-rich extract from moringa oleifera leaves using different solvents: Optimization and characterization.
description Natural antioxidants have gained a huge amount of interest due to their ability to combat devastating ailments such as obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Rich in phenolics and flavonoids, Moringa Oleifera (MO) has piqued the interest of many researchers. MO plants have numerous nutritional and therapeutic advantages. The current study aims to maximize yield by optimizing the conditions of MO leaves extraction with the help of a few organic second solvents. Central Composite Design (CCD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of MO extract.
