Dr. Lorma Valera, a food technologist from Ilocos Region is crafting dishes put of Malunggay which she says would help children who are deficient in iron, Vitamin A and other nutrients and reduce the rate of malnutrition among millions of mothers.

Chemical analyses indicated an increase in nutrients of flat noodles with 5% malunggay leaves substitute, among others. A significant increase in the level of Calcium, iron and Beta carotene when the level of malunggay leaves substitution was increased from 5 percent to 15 percent. These results indicate the strong antiinflammatory activities of the crude ethanol extract and the hexane fraction. On the other hand, the ethylacetate fraction caused a 267 percent increase in inflammation and exhibited toxicity results from the
