What are the effects of Moringa seed oil

Moringa seeds are the seeds of the Moringa tree, and Moringa seed oil is also extracted from Moringa seeds and is rich in nutrients. Moringa seed oil is an edible oil, and it has many benefits in life. Some people also use moringa seed oil for beauty purposes.

1. Cold-pressed moringa seed oil contains natural antioxidants, which makes moringa seed oil stable and not easy to corrupt. The research results show that cold-pressed Moringa seed oil has better thermal stability and oxidative stability, the peroxide it forms is 79% less than peanut oil, and the increase in free fatty acids is significantly lower than refined peanut oil.

2. Moringa seed oil is not only a safe, non-toxic, high-quality edible oil, but also because of its low viscosity, it is very suitable for use as a flavor excipient. It is an excellent raw material for spices, cosmetics, and preservatives. Studies have shown that moringa oil has anti-UV properties and can protect the body from damage by ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, moringa oil can be used to develop related sunscreen products. It is reported that moringa seed oil is also used in India for lubrication of precision machinery under special conditions such as aerospace, high temperature and high pressure.

3. Moringa seed oil also contains plant sterols such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, etc. Plant sterols are a substance that is very similar to cholesterol in structure. They have the effect of lowering cholesterol without obvious side effects and are very important to human health. The length of the oxidation induction period of edible oil directly determines the speed of its oxidation deterioration during storage and the length of the storage period. The longer the oxidation induction period, the better its safety and stability. The oxidation induction period of Moringa seed oil is 34.1h, which is 4 times, 10 times, 9 times and 12 times longer than that of olive oil, corn germ oil, peanut oil and soybean oil respectively. It has high stability and is not easy to oxidize and spoil, making it an excellent edible oil.
