Research on the use of various parts of the Moringa oleifera Lam. plant (M. oleifera) as a nutritional and neutraceutical resource for human and animal diets has increased in recent years, emanating from the widespread use of the plant in traditional cuisines and medicinal remedies in several regions of the world. Analytical studies have identified M. oleifera as an important source of essential nutrients; rich in protein, essential amino acids, minerals, and vitamins, with a relatively low amount of antinutrients. It is also a rich source of other bio active compounds including flavonoids and phenolic compounds; with several studies detailing demonstrated in vitro and in vivo functional properties, most substantially, antioxidant activities. Moringa oleifera consumption has been reported to improve the health status, feed conversion efficiency, growth performance and product quality of several livestock species, at dietary inclusion rates generally not exceeding 5% of total dry matter intake. Fortification of processed foods with M. oleifera has been reported to increase nutritional value, some organoleptic properties, oxidative stability and product shelf life; with a notable need for further analytical and consumer studies in the development of these products. There is a paucity of literature detailing clinical studies, nutrient bioavailability, toxicity and the mode of action of the bioactive compounds to which the health claims associated with M. oleifera consumption are attributed. Many of these are not yet fully understood; therefore more research in these areas is required in order to fully utilize the potential benefits of this plant in human and livestock nutrition.

关于辣木各部分用途的研究。厂（中号。油茶），作为人类和动物的饮食营养和营养品资源在最近几年有所增加，在世界一些地区通过广泛使用的传统美食和药用补救措施工厂发出。分析研究确定中号。油菜作为重要营养素的重要来源；富含蛋白质，必需氨基酸，矿物质和维生素，且抗营养物质含量相对较低。它还是其他生物活性化合物的丰富来源，其中包括类黄酮和酚类化合物。几项研究详细说明了体外和体内功能特性，最主要是抗氧化活性。据报道，食用辣木可改善几种牲畜的健康状况，饲料转化效率，生长性能和产品质量，其膳食包含率通常不超过干物质总摄入量的5％。用M强化加工食品。油菜据报道可增加营养价值，某些感官特性，氧化稳定性和产品保质期；在开发这些产品时，特别需要进行进一步的分析和消费者研究。很少有文献详细介绍了与M有关的临床研究，营养生物利用度，毒性和生物活性化合物的作用方式，健康声称对这些生物活性化合物有效。油菜消费归因于。其中许多尚未完全理解。因此，需要在这些领域进行更多研究，以充分利用该植物在人畜营养方面的潜在优势。
