Lailanie,
The shelf life of a product needs to be evaluated by a laboratory. For example, if you manufacture Virgin Coconut Oil, you have to submit samples to the Philippine Coconut Authority, pay the necessary fees, and they will study it. They will take note of the condition of your product every period. Lets say, every month. This way, they’ll be able to note the changes in the quality of your product every month.
They will give you a report of their study.
The same goes with malunggay powder. I’m just not sure, which government agency handles this kind of study. You could check with maybe, BFAD or DOST.
Good Luck.

good afternoon. . . .ahm. . . .we just want to ask. . . .if we can still use malunggay polvoron as a main subject of our study on our thesis? . . . .eventhough there’s already an existing product made by others. . . . .thank you. . . .God bless. . . ^.^
By: michael on January 8, 2009

I think it’s possible. Just give it a twist like dipping your polvoron in melter chocolate. Sell them and see how it fares as compared to your pure malunggay flavored polvoron.
good luck!

Good day. I am looking for a malunggay farm where i can get a supply of malunggay leaves more or less 600 kilos.We will be using it for our study. I am just wondering if you knew a farm so i drop by. Thanks!
By: alex on January 12, 2009

are you still in need of malunggay leaves? i have almost 6,000 trees in my farm here in Lumban,Laguna…u can contact me at 09235337903 or e-mail me at treborsabido@yahoo.com..
By: roberto a. sabido on June 30, 2011
at 7:44 am
roberto,
sorry i am no longer in need of them. i suggest you process the leaves and sell it. even the seeds can be profitable.
though right now, malunggay is scarce here in cebu, it is not advisable to transport it very far. the best i can advise you is prepare a processing area in the vicinity of your farm, or near it if you have problems with water and electricity in your farm. It is best to harvest and transport it in the early morning and start processing asap .
good luck

Manny,
if you sun dry the leaves, according to an article in Agriculture magazine about a certain producer in Metro Manila, it takes them 18 hours of sun drying. A friend of mine says 2 weeks, for me, 1 week is enough because I finish it off with baking. When I bake bread, I include a tray of malunggay. It really depends on the manner of drying. For me, drying directly under the sun is no good.
I air dry the malunggay at the terrace under shade for 3 to 4 days then oven roasting(?) Maybe you could even roast it like what you do with pinipig in a pan.

By: manny garcia on April 22, 2009
at 8:56 pm
Manny,
Ok rin siguro basta madali lang kasi di ba masyado namang maliit yung distance ng light sa plate ng oven toaster.
I try mo rin manny na ibusa sa kawali. Kasi yun ang ginagawa ko sa sili. Sun dry then toast sa pan. try mo, baka puede. Tapos, puede paki share mo uli kung ano ang nagyari para mas maraming tao ang makinabang sa info. Salamat.

By: cleofe paeste on May 15, 2009

The recommended drying process is AIR DRYING.This means, you want to put them under the shade, , and not directly exposed to the sun.
A number of heat-sensitive nutrients are lost when the leaves are exposed to direct sun light, while air-drying only removes the water content from the leaves.
When drying using an oven, make sure that you don’t shut the doors close. Leave a gap of 5-7 cm to draw the moisture out.
Okay din kung tapatan ninyo ng electric fan or blower to keep the air circulating.
Kung sarado naman ang oven, mas mabilis syang matuyo pero kailangan nyong bantayan mabuti.
By: Coco Palm Sugar on May 29, 2009
at 2:02 pm
By the way, kung walang oven at nagmamadali. Puwede ring initin gamit ang kawali.
Pero mas maganda kung na-air-dry na, bago i-finish with the oven or kawali.

Manny,
Salamat naman at nakita mo na ang mabuting resulta. Maaari bang i promote mo na rin sa mga kaibigan, kamag-anak, atbp ang kabutihan ng malunggay? Ito sana ang gusto kong ipahatid na mensahe sa ating mga kababayan na ang simpleng malunggay ay napakaraming kabutihan na maibibigay sa atin. Nutrisyon, at natural na panglunas sa ating mga nararamdaman sa katawan. Ang sakit daw ay naug uumpisa kung ang ating immune system ay humihina dahil hindi na makalaban ang ating katawan sa mga umaatake sa ating kalusugan.
Ngayon, kahit na medyo may edad na tayo, atin itong ipaalam sa ating mga anak para naman ipagpatuloy nila ang pagpaparami ng malunggay upang makatulong din sa kanilang kalusugan. Isang magandang pamana ang isang kaalaman.

By: wilma on June 4, 2012

idagdag ko lang dapat pagpitas pa lang kinukuhaan na natin nng mga reject na dahon. iwagwag ang dahon pagkakuha pa lang sa puno. bago hugasan, isa-isahin na naman tignan ang sangang maliit kung merong mga insektong nasama. hugasan sa malaking planggana na maraming tubig isa isa. tatlong beses ulitin ang paghuhugas para mawala ang iba pang mga foreign particles. saka pa dapat igrupo sa tatlo o dalawang tangkay, talian ng pisi at saka isabit sa drying wire.

hi madam,isa pa sa mga nkabenefit ng dried malunggay na ginawa ko ay mother in law..she was 84yrs old.nkatulong sa kanya ung tsaa na nagbigay sa kanya ng kaluwagan sa digestion, para mawala ang kanyang diarhea. at pati ung hipag ko na sobrang negative sa lahat ng supplement ngustuhan iyon lang daw ang ngustuhan nya.power ang malunggay..
By: manny garcia on October 4, 2009
at 2:48 pm
totoo talaga manny. Power talaga ang malunggay. para sa akin base sa aking karanasan sa pag inom ng malunggay tumutulong ang mga sustansiyang nakukuha natin sa malunggay na ibalik ang mga nauubos at nagagamit nating naka lagak sa ating katawan. kung maubos na ang mga sustansyang naipon natin sa ating katawan mula ng bata pa tayo, dyan tayo nagkakasakit.
Moringa is replenishing the nutrients that were depleted in our body. I also recommend this to middle age couples. Both the husband and wife should drink it because both of them will regain lost strength. even a teaspoon of moringa powder everyday will produce improvement in married life.

Ang contest na ito ay sponsored ny Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Ang kanilang proposal? Malunggay ice ream na gumamit ng fresh malunggay. Natikman ko ito pero di lang masyadong malasahan ng malunggay. i try mong gumawa ng ice cream with fresh malunggay juice. Baka ma swertehan mop ang sekreto.

if it is psoriasis please research also about candida albicans on the net. you might also want to try to limit the sweets intake of your daughter. if you have tried all kind of antibiotics. then probably the good bacteria in the gut were destroyed and the bad bacteria proliferated. please let me know the result of your journey.

are you using seeds or leaves? moringa oil can only be extracted from the seeds. Based on echotech.org, Seed from mature pods are roasted, mashed and placed in boiling water for five minutes. After straining and sitting overnight, the moringa oil floats to the surface.
I will try to post an article about this if the original owner allows me. But for the meantime, check out this article http://tilz.tearfund.org/Publications/Footsteps+21-30/Footsteps+28/Moringa+oil.htm

melani,
sige melani, try mo rin ang malunggay. puede mong inumin ang malunggay powder as tea, puede rin s na gamitin mo yung procedure sa latest post ko na titled painful menstruatio and malunggay tea. pakihanap na lang dito sa blog ko.
tapos, check out this site also, http://www.sallybernstein.com/food/columns/gilbert/lemon_grass.htm. tungkol yan sa lemon grass o tanglad. mabuti rin siguro na either pure tanglad lang ang i boil mo as tea o kaya ay lagyan mo ng tanglad yung dahon ng malunggay na ilalagay mo sa kumukulong tubig, katulad ng ginagawa ko.
please let me know naman kung may naitulong itong mga ito. Good luck. Don’t give up. keep on praying. talk to friends. kaya mo yan. God Bless you and your baby.

While air drying, the leaves turn into yellow. Is that normal?
By: juran on July 20, 2010
at 4:09 pm
no juran, it is not normal for leaves to turn yellow. there are probable reasons for this. (1) the leaves were very mature that they are about to turn yellow when you harvested them; (2) there were too much leaves that it took a longer time to dry them; etc.
please let me know how you dried the leaves and i will tell you the most probable reason for yellowing.

Hello! glad to find your site, learned many ideas here. I’m into malunggay growing as well. Our malunggay trees are planted in an old ricefield that always dries up kaya we used it for malunggay instead. We planted them on raised beds. I noticed though, some of the trees, after the recemt typhoon. a few leaves begin to turn yellow. Could you help me please where to find info about the cause of yellowing and how to correct it, if there is any organic or chemical fertilizer that needs to be added. Your info will greatly help. Thanks in advance, Ms Cristina, and more power!

pwede po ba gawing juice ang dried malunggay leaves?
By: RAnx on February 17, 2011

rAnx,
mag boil ka ng tubig, then lagyan mo na malunggay powder/dried leaves. simmer for a minute or two, then you have your malunggay juice/tea. try it

hi do you know how to make moringa capsules from the powder?
By: Mark on June 20, 2011
at 9:54 am
mark,
its basically the powder that you put in the empty capsule gels. for personal use, you may manually fill the capsules, by using just spoon. but for commercial production you need to buy a filler. there’s a manual filler and mechanmical filler. i just don’t know where to buy them. good luck

hi! do you have a capsule maker for the moringa powder?
By: Mark J on June 24, 2011
at 11:42 pm
mark
sorry mark, i don’t prepare capsules. you may buy them from suppliers. or if for personal use only, you may try mercury drug. here in cebu, we can buy empty capsules from these drug stores.
By: cristina on July 1, 2011
at 10:32 am
I see, I already bought an empty ketchup container which the nozzle fits nicely to the capsule makes it easier to fill. I also want to know if you have any moringa tea recipe you can share? I love to drink tea every morning. My recipe is 1 teaspoon moringa powder, 1 teaspoon honey, lemon grass, and calamansi, which taste great!

WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE RE: DRYING MORINGA LEAVES
1: hang the leaves under the shade for a day. the following day, shake off the leaves, it will readily fall off
2, place the shaken off leaves inside a paper bag and fold the top edge to keep off dust, (the amount of leaves inside the bag should not exceed half inch thick when you place the paper bag lying on its side for drying to expose more surface area for heat absorption)
3, you can place the paper bag under the sun for just 3 hours and the leaves are crunchy and ready to be made into powder after air-drying for another 30minutes. (paper bag prevents exposure of leaves to direct sunlight and it readily absorbs moisture from the leaves while at the same time releases the moisture outside of the bag)
4. i use the blender to make the dry leaves into powder. (NOT the bigger vessel of the blender but the smaller vessel used to process nuts and other dry food)

hi.. im ms. racquel im high school teacher, and for the 2nd quarter we are going to bake malunggay cookies.. can you gave me recipe and technique on how to make it more delicious thnx.. :))
By: racquel on September 26, 2011
at 3:18 pm
make it more delicious? just like the regular cookies made commercially? that would mean you would have to add more artificial flavorings, maybe? why don’t you add pandan syrup to make it smell better? i think the recipe is in this blog. I don’t think I can help much.
By: cristina on September 28, 2011
at 7:02 pm

Hi Cris!
I only ant to ask if it is ok to drink the dried malunggay leaves even thought it is not well grained or powdered? its hard for me to do powdered it ^^
By: Bebe on October 11, 2011
at 10:26 pm
hi bebe:
sorry for the late reply. maybe it’s ok if you’re not bothered by the unrefined leaves. but just a tip, press it hard on the stainless strainer and you will get the consistency that would be ok with you.
By: cristina on November 19, 2011
at 1:59 pm
Hi again Cris!
It’s ok if i will put the boiled Malunggay into termous? And used it in a several days?
By: bebe on December 1, 2011
at 10:58 pm
im not sure about it bebe. maybe as long as the thermos can still maintain the temperature. if its cold, it might get spoiled. hopefully, you use the boiled malunggay within two days.
By: cristina on December 6, 2011

How many malunggay trees can you plant in one hectare? How how, more or less will one spend in planting malunggay in one (1) hectare kung ready for planting na yong area ( no need to clear of other trees or bushes) ? Mga how many kilo can one tree produce as dried leaves already ?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

hi! i suggest have a batch of fresh malunggay be brought to the laboratory then after it has dried up, bring the batch to the laboratory again. that way, you’ll find how much nutrients were lost during the process

Hello =D Paano ba gumawa ng Cooking oil mula sa Malunggay seeds at paano kung hindi dried malunggay seed ang nkuha ko magawa pa po ba yung Cooking Oil?
By: KYLE on January 9, 2013
at 6:37 pm
actually di ko pa rin nasubukang gumawa ng malunggay oil. try mo kayang i gring ang mga fresh seeds then ilagay mo sa isang lalagyan para mag separate ang oil at pulp and water.
pero kung cooking oil din lang ang gusto mo, masyadong mahal siguro ang malunggay oil para sa purpose na ito.
By: cristina on April 10, 2013

Hi po! Balak po kasi namin gawing juice ung malunggay pero ung papakulua. Po namin. Tanong ko lang ko kung ilang days nagtatagal ang malunggay kapag gnwang juice? Ilang days po kapag nakalagay sa ref at kapag hnd naman. Thanks!
By: Ha-yi on May 24, 2013
at 10:02 am
ang tagal bago ko nasagot ang comment mo. pasensya na. siguro by this time nakapag-experiment ka na at na observe mo kung ilang araw puede i-stock ang malunggay. kung fresh juice para s aakin, three days is the most. pagkagawa, inilalagay ko sa freezer sa ibat-ibang lalagyan para kung ano lang ang iinumin ko yun lang ang aking ilalabas.pero pag nag iba na ang kulay, (pag nag brown ng konti) di ko na iniinom.
By: cristina on June 24, 2013
at 1:35 pm
salamat pa rin po sa pagsagot 🙂 ginagawa po kasi namin to as research. Tanong ko lang po kung ilanng baso po ang suggested serving in a day? kayo po ba, ilang baso po naiinom niyo sa isang araw? may mga effects po ba sa ineo kapag naparami? (sorry masyado pong maraming tanong)
By: Ha-yi on June 27, 2013

mahirap i padala ang fresh leaves galing malayo madaling mabulok pag bulk at mabilis ang pag init ng dahon…

how to dry malunggay leaves using oven and standard temperature.. ineed u reply as soon as possible..thank you
By: kimberly gonzaga on July 17, 2013
at 4:53 pm
kimberly, you need to experiment, really. if you are to use a regular oven, i guess u need to open the oven’s door a little bit so air can pass through.
if you have a big budget, though, you might opt to buy a convection oven. please search the web regarding the use of convection oven for malunggay drying

mike,
maghanap ka ng malunggay products manufacturer sa malapit sa inyo. halimbawa gumagawa ng capsules, nagluluto ng tinapay at cakes. kung wala, ikaw ang magkumbinsi sa bakery na gumamit ng malunggay sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng sample ng produkto mo. kung makita nila na maganda ang resulta, me buyer ka na.
