Bioactive compounds in Moringa oleifera leaf powder.

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing multipurpose deciduous tree with high nutritional and Medicinal Value. However, the presence of anti-nutritional factors, poor palatability and indigestibility of Moringa oleifera leaf, restrict its application as a food and in medicine. Therefore, by adopting the process of Biotransformation coupled with solid state fermentation, a new product was prepared during present investigation. Probiotics bacteria such as Lactobacillus sporogenes, Bacillus cereus and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were employed for this purpose. The product obtained after biotransformation was characterized by using Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Thus solid state fermentation with different bacterial strains produced new novel metabolites.
