Abstract
The "miracle tree," Moringa oleifera, has gained so much attention because of its spectacular nutritional profile and potential health benefits, making it one of the candidates for functional food product creation. The health benefits of M. oleifera are presented here in this review alongside its antioxidant conformation, bioactive constituents, and macro- and micronutrient conformation. Moringa is rapidly becoming a key and effective component in formulating healthy foodstuffs because of its outstanding anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities. Investigation into the usage of moringa products in functional foods like dairy substitutes, powders, supplements, drinks, and even snacks is also part of the review. Notwithstanding the auspicious benefits, there are also contests with product development such as issues with sensory perception, active ingredient constancy, and budget constraints. Maintainable plant-based and healthy food demand across the sphere is pushing the novelty in the moringa industry. To improve the current contests and the scalability and suitability of moringa-based functional foods, this review concludes with a call for additional investigation.
