Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) is an arboreal species native to India, adaptable to various climates. This species provides benefits for human health as it is a source of vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids, although its use in aquaculture is scarce. In this research, the lipid and amino acid profiles of dehydrated moringa leaf meal was analyzed as a viable and quality input for mollusks aquaculture. The results revealed in the lipid profile the presence of α-linolenic acid 13.9 mg/g (ω-3) of the dry matter and also to a lesser degree, linoleic acid with 3.13 mg/g (ω-6). The α-linolenic acid is a precursor in the metabolic pathway of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with bioregulatory functions and linoleic acid fulfills structural functions in cell membranes, being considered essential inputs for initial nutrition in mollusks. The protein content analyzed was 29,5% with a total of 17 amino acids, of which 9 are essential, standing out among them alanine (13,1%), non-essential and leucine (7,9%) essential, generating a food high quality protein. Due to these qualities found in the dehydrated leaf meal of M. oleifera, it is suggested that this meal could be used as a potential high-quality phytonutrient and supplements in mollusks feeding.
