Dataset on effect of decolourisation on metabolomic profile of Moringa oleifera leaf powder.

ABSTRACT: Moringa leaf has been widely used in the enrichment of staple foods due to its high nutritional value and hypoglycaemic, immune boosting, antiviral, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. However, the acceptability of these products is generally low due to the green colour imparted by the colour of Moringa leaf. Decolourisation of the leaves may improve the acceptability of the food products. The decolorisation process may not only change the chlorophyll concentration of the Moringa leaves but also its other chemical components. The data set describes the effect of decolourisation on the metabolites present in Moringa leaf powder. The raw and decolourised samples were extracted with methanol/water (80:20 v/v) and analysed using a gas chromatography-high resolution time of flight-mass spectrometer (GC-HRTOF-MS). The metabolites identified were classified based on their functional group into acids, alcohols, aldehydes, amides hydrocarbons, phenols, phytosterols, vitamins and others. The data presented can be useful in identifying functional compounds available in Moringa-based foods and understanding the effect of decolourisation on the metabolite profile.

Project description:Moringa oleifera Lam. is one of the world's most useful medicinal plants. Different parts of the M. oleifera tree contain a rich profile of important minerals, proteins, vitamins, and various important bioactive compounds. However, there are differences in the phytochemical composition of the medicinal plant's raw materials due to seasonal variation, cultivation practices, and post-harvest processing. The main objective of this study was therefore to determine the effect of harvesting frequencies on selected bioactive compounds of a M. oleifera cultivar (PKM1) grown in a hydroponic system under a shade net structure. Three harvesting frequency treatments were applied in the study, with the plants harvested at every 30 days (high frequency), 60 days (intermediate frequency), and 90 days (low frequency) respectively. 1H-NMR was used for data acquisition, and multivariate data analysis by means of principal component analysis (PCA), partial least square discriminatory analysis (PLS-DA), and orthogonal partial least square discriminatory analysis (OPLS-DA) were applied to determine the changes in the leaf metabolite profile, and also to identify the spectral features contributing to the separation of samples. Targeted metabolite analysis was used to match the NMR peaks of the compounds with the NMR chemical shifts of the contribution plot. The contribution plot showed that the increase in concentration of some compounds in aliphatic, sugar and aromatic regions contributed to the separation of the samples. The results revealed that intermediate and low harvesting frequencies resulted in a change in the leaf metabolite profile. Compounds such as chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, wogonin, esculetin, niazirin, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) showed an increase under intermediate and low harvesting frequencies. These results provide insight into the effect of harvesting frequencies on the metabolite profile and associated medicinal activity of M. oleifera.
