Abstract: The aim of the present investigation is to study qualitative and quantitative values of polyphenols present in moringa pods. The antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of pods were evaluated by free radical scavenging activity using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH). The natural falvour compounds present in moringa pods were identified. The nutrients as well as fatty acids present in moringa pods were evaluated. It was found that moringa pods exhibited source of polyphenols, free radical scavenging activity and nutrients. Moringa provides a rich and rare combination of nutrients, amino acids, antioxidants, antiaging and anti-inflammatory properties for nutrition and healing.
