  • What is Moringa called in Ethiopia?
  • Moringa in Ethiopia is called "Shiferaw". Moringa leaf powder is consumed as a tea in cafeteria and at home, and at southern part of Ethiopia two spoonful of moringa powder is added in to dishes every day (Alemu and Kelemu, 2013).
  • Why is Moringa a non-traded commodity in Ethiopia?
  • Moringa is one of themost neglected, and hence non-traded commodity in general sense in Ethiopia. Its use and level of consumption is very low and is restricted only in few areas of Southern regional state. Limited awareness on the importance of Moringa has the most attributable factor for its low level of use and consumption.
  • Is expeller a viable option for moringa oil expression?
  • The expeller serves as a viable option for moringa oil expression since the use of solvent is only economic on large scale and not suitable for small-scale processing because of high capital and operating costs, risk of fire and explosions and complexity of the process.
  • Are there oil expellers for moringa seeds?
  • Several researchers have developed different oil expellers for different crops, but none has been reported for moringa seeds.
  • How does a Moringa screw press oil expeller work?
  • Schematic view of the moringa screw press oil expeller Schematic exploded view of the moringa screw press oil expeller The seeds are introduced into the machine through the roasting drum where they are heated. Thereafter, the seeds flow down to the feed hopper through a sliding gate provided on the roasting drum.
  • Can a moringa oil expeller be used as animal feed?
  • The cake obtained from the expeller thereafter can be dried and used as animal feed, thereby making the expeller a more viable option for moringa oil expression. Adejumo BA, Alakowe AT, Obi DE (2013) Effect of heat treatment on the characteristics and oil yield of Moringa oleifera seeds.
