Comparative analysis of phytonutrients of Moringa oleifera leaves from South Africa and Nigeria, and their antimicrobial and antioxidant potentials by UPLC-ESI-QToF-MS and OPLS-DA... by Jonathan Kayembe, Cosa Sekelwa, Kokoette Bassey

“…The antioxidant assays unveiled concentration-dependent trends with scavenging activity of up to 98% (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 0.14 mg/mL) for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 87% (IC50 = 0.28 mg/mL) for hydrogen peroxide assay. All the test extracts did not exhibit good to significant antibacterial inhibitory effect (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 1.25 mg/mL) compared to ciprofloxacin (MIC = 0.0156–0.0039 mg/mL).ConclusionThe variations in the phytonutrients of the same M. oleifera species harvested from different countries could have dire consequences including potential health risks and even death. …”
