Phytochemical Analyses, Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities of Ethanolic Leaf Extracts of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> Lam. Varieties
<i>Moringa oleifera</i> Lam. (Moringaceae) is revered as s ‘miracle tree’ due to its remarkable nutritional, medicinal and industrial uses. In our study, a comparative analysis of the nutritional parameters (antioxidant activity, sugar content—TSS, total soluble proteins—TSP and mineral...
