ABSTRACT:
Moringa has majorly antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. This article briefly discusses the incorporation of M. species in a formulation and comprehensive advantages of the same. The aim of this review is to focus the use of Moringa oleifera as a potential ingredient in food products. Moringa oleifera is recognized as an excellent source of phytochemicals, with potential applications in functional and medicinal food preparations due to its nutritional and medicinal properties.
