Article Synopsis
  • The global food system faces significant issues related to malnutrition, with many people affected by undernourishment and unhealthy diets.
  • Advanced extraction methods, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), were tested on moringa leaves, showing higher recovery yields and greater levels of phytochemicals compared to traditional methods.
  • The findings indicate that these novel extraction techniques can effectively boost the quality and quantity of beneficial bioactive compounds, potentially improving nutrient availability from plant sources.
