Abstract

Moringa plants are recognized as multipurpose plant material due to their high content of bioactive constituents such as phenolic compounds, proteins, and essential oils, among others. This mini-review provided interesting and innovative information collected from the Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases on the main chemical constituents of essential oils extracted from different moringa plants. In addition, it highlighted the different conventional and non-conventional techniques applied in the extraction of essential oils from different parts of moringa plants, and the functional properties of these essential oils are reviewed. Thus, this overview offers, for the first time, a compilation of published information on these topics, which may be useful in food and pharmaceutical products.
