Is there a green extraction method to recover proteins from moringa leaves?

08 March 2017 1 3K Report

Hello,

I just want to find out if you have attempted to recover protein concentrate from the moringa leaf using a green extraction system.

Thanks

Celia Rodríguez-Pérez

Hi,

I am sorry but proteins were not the target bioactive compounds of our research project. However, some of the techniques that we employed allowed extracting minor amino acids and peptides which are characterized in the manuscripts.

Best,

Celia
