Evaluation of acute toxicity and chemical composition of refined oil Moringa oleifera cultivated in Mexico

The oil obtained from Moringa oleifera seeds is mainly composed of oleic acid and in less proportion by linoleic and α-linolenic acids. It also contains phospholipids and other minority components, like enzymes, alkaloids, and glycosinolates some of which can generate undesirable characteristics and...
