Notes

Abstract: The Moringa Oleifera tree has a well-established reputation throughout the world as a multipurpose tree species (MPT; Anele et al., 2008), most notably within the cultural and geographical regions of India where the Moringa tree originated. All the beneficial properties found in the Moringa tree fall into one of three categories: medicinal, nutritional, and functional. Nutritive and medicinal usages are the most common applications. This study focuses on comparing common knowledge of the benefits of the Moringa tree among cultures of India, Pacific Islands, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Caribbean. I am seeking to establish the frequencies of use or lack of use among the participants in this case control study. I am especially interested in the functional use of the Moringa tree as a water purifier. I will assess the awareness of the flocculating properties found in the Moringa seed powder, and the intra-cultural variation and perception of the uses of the tree (Nazarea, Rhoades, Bontoyan, & Flora, 1998).
