Abstract

Abstract- This study aims to compare the nutritional value of leaf powder from two morphotypes of Moringa oleifera Lam. from Chad. In 2024, at Kolobo in the Mayo Kebbi Province in southern Chad, fresh leaf samples were collected from a large-leaf morphotype 1 of Moringa oleifera Lam.; the small-leaf morphotype 2 having been analyzed at CRSBAN in a previous study. The freshly harvested leaves were transported by us, sorted, washed and dried in the shade. The powders prepared from the dried leaves were analyzed using standard methods. Physico-chemical analyses revealed that leaf powder from the small-leaf morphotype 2 is rich in protein (24.28 ± 0.22 g/100g), certain minerals (mg/100g) such as: Ca 1443.90 ± 11.03; Mg 176.72 ± 0.73; Fe 53.75 ± 5.07; Zn 17.58 ± 0.89 and vitamins (β-carotene 624.40 ± 0.41µg ER, Vitamin C 65.88 ± 0.00 mg/100g). The leaf powder has a low lipids and total sugars content, respectively (7.42 ± 1.56 g/100g) and (22.46 ± 2.02 g/100g). Dried Moringa oleifera broadleaf powder has a low protein content (6.09 ± 0.15 g/100g).
