Seeds ( A ), kernels ( B ), fruits ( C) and oil ( D) of Moringa oleifera. Oil is the main component of the seed and represents 36.7% of the seed weight. The oil can be extracted almost entirely by solvent extraction, generally n-hexane, whereas less yield is obtained by cold press extraction.
Can moringa seeds and oil be used in waste water treatment?
Moreover, after oil extraction, the seed cake can be used in waste water treatment as a natural coagulant [ 4] or as an organic fertilizer to improve agricultural productivity [ 5 ]. In this article, we conducted a critical review of literature data concerning the composition of Moringa seeds and oil.

Can Moringa extract be used as a drug carrier?
Nanoparticle technology was used to incorporate Moringa extract as a drug carrier. Treatment of HeLa cell lines with a single dose of the plant showed that the composite film of the plant extract was efficient in killing malignant cells compared to other isolated and purified phytocomponents on the market [ 158 ].
