In several countries, moringa leaves are starting to be widely used in food products as an alternative to overcome malnutrition.

The lack of micronutrient intakes, such as vitamin A, iron, and zinc, can also cause malnutrition. Moringa oleifera is referred to as the most economical tree. Almost every part of the tree contains abundant nutrients and plays an important role in meeting human nutritional needs.

The addition of moringa leaf powder causes a significant increase in protein, fiber, and mineral content in several food products.

However, the acceptable concentration of moringa leaf powder addition is not more than 5%. Keywords: mineral content, moringa leaf, nutrient
