Penelitian kelor di Blora ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh perbedaan teknik panen terhadap produksi daun dan mempelajari metode pascapanen dan pengolahan kelor yang tepat untuk menghasilkan kelor berkualitas. Pengawasan dan sosialisasi yang berkelanjutan terkait standar operasional prosedur penting dilakukan kepada petani mitra untuk menjamin kualitas bahan baku yang tetap. Kriteria daun kelor yang dapat dipanen yaitu tangkai daun sudah memiliki sudut tangkai daun antara 45o-90o, sudah muncul sedikit bakal daun di ketiak daunnya dan daun berwarna hijau tua. Panen kelor dengan teknik pangkas cabang lebih cocok digunakan untuk produksi pakan ternak. Kelor yang dipanen dengan teknik petik daun lebih cocok digunakan untuk tujuan produksi pangan. Pengeringan merupakan kunci terpenting dalam produksi kelor. Suhu ruang pengering dipertahankan 30-35 oC dengan kelembapan dibuat hingga 46% RH selama dua hari. Perlakuan pra pengeringan dan tanpa pra pengeringan tidak mempengaruhi persentase rendemen daun kelor.

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam., commonly found tree in sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has a high nutrition value. The leaves, flowers and immature pods of Moringa are used as a vegetable in many countries. The leaves are highly nutritious and medicinal in nature. They are a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, and essential amino acids. Hence Moringa leaves can be a good source of protein for the vegetarians and the under-nourished population. Present investigation deals with the study of monthly variation in the nutritional value of Moringa leaves from the month of June 2015 to January 2016. Impact of urban sewage pollution and roadside vehicular pollution on the amount of reducing and total sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total), proteins, vitamin-C and pH of the leaves, was also studied. Results revealed that the highest amounts of reducing sugars, total sugars, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll during October 2015 whereas proteins, chlorophyll a, vitamin C and pH were highest during January 2016. Leaf samples collected from all the study sites exhibited minimum amounts of reducing sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and pH during July 2015 whereas total sugars were lowest during December 2015. Proteins and vitamin C values were lowest during August and June 2015 respectively. Sewage and vehicular pollution showed an adverse effect on the nutritional contents of Moringa oleifera leaves. Of the two polluted sites, samples from near the sewage flow showed higher impact.
