Abstract The aim of this investigation were to determine and evaluate (in vitro) the chemical composition of leaves and seeds contents for Moringa oleifera (MO), Moringa stenopetala (MS), Moringa peregrina (MP) which were collected from Egypt. The results of the chemical composition analysis showed that Moringa species leaves and seeds have high significant nutritional values. Moisture, ash, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, energy, elements; Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, vitamins C and A, amino acids compositions, total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities against DPPH free radical were determined. Meanwhile, the oil proprieties evaluated and the results showed significant decreases in; free fatty acids percentage{u2019}s, peroxide values, iodine values and showed significant increases for saponification values. Also, the fatty acids compositions were evaluated and the major saturated fatty acids; palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) and behenic (C22:0) recorded high significant values. On the other hand, the main unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1n9); eicosenoic (C20:1n9) and palmitoleic acids (C16:1n7) recorded significant values. |
