Abstract
Moringa is rapidly growing tree is also known as the drumstick, benzolive, moonga, saijhan, sajna and ben oil tree. Palada and Chang, (2003) reported that India is the leading producer of moringa, with an annual production of 1.2 million tonnes of fruits from an area of 38000 ha. Moringa is an effective remedy for malnutrition and contain variety of essential phyto-chemicals in its leaves, pods and seeds. In fact, moringa is said to provide 7 times more vitamin C than oranges, 10 times more vitamin A than carrots, 17 times more calcium than milk, 9 times more protein than yoghurt, 15 times more potassium than bananas and 25 times more iron than spinach (Rockwood et al., 2013).The current study aimed to study the effect of chemical blanching on ascorbic acid retention.
