The "miracle tree," , has gained so much attention because of its spectacular nutritional profile and potential health benefits, making it one of the candidates for functional food product creation. The health benefits of are presented here in this review alongside its antioxidant conformation, bioactive constituents, and macro- and micronutrient conformation. Moringa is rapidly becoming a key and effective component in formulating healthy foodstuffs because of its outstanding anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities. Investigation into the usage of moringa products in functional foods like dairy substitutes, powders, supplements, drinks, and even snacks is also part of the review. Notwithstanding the auspicious benefits, there are also contests with product development such as issues with sensory perception, active ingredient constancy, and budget constraints. Maintainable plant-based and healthy food demand across the sphere is pushing the novelty in the moringa industry. To improve the current contests and the scalability and suitability of moringa-based functional foods, this review concludes with a call for additional investigation.
“奇迹之树”因其惊人的营养成分和潜在的健康益处而备受关注,使其成为功能性食品开发的候选者之一。本综述介绍了辣木的健康益处及其抗氧化结构、生物活性成分以及常量和微量营养素结构。由于其出色的抗炎、抗菌、抗糖尿病、抗氧化和神经保护活性,辣木正迅速成为健康食品配方中的关键有效成分。对辣木产品在乳制品替代品、粉末、补充剂、饮料甚至零食等功能性食品中的应用研究也是本综述的一部分。尽管有诸多益处,但在产品开发方面也存在挑战,如感官认知问题、活性成分稳定性和预算限制。全球对可持续植物基健康食品的需求推动了辣木产业的创新。为改善当前的挑战以及基于辣木的功能性食品的可扩展性和适用性,本综述最后呼吁进行更多研究。
