Abstract

Moringa oleifera, an edible tree found worldwide in the dry tropics, is increasingly being used as nutritional supplementation. Loss of nutrients can be induced by a number of factors. Obviously, losses of vitamins depend on cooking time, temperature, and cooking method. In this study the effect of temperature on vitamin A, vitamin C and protein content of moringa leave was investigated. Fresh samples of Moringa leaves were collected, sorted, dried using two different drying methods viz; oven drying and sun drying methods. The dried plant samples were ground using clean laboratory blender, the powdered plant samples were analysed separately for their protein, vitamin A and vitamin C constituents using appropriate methods. The nutritional content of the moringa oleifera leaves show variation with different drying condition. Drying temperature of 60°C gave the best drying temperature.
