The noni fruit ( Morinda citrifolia L.): A review of agricultural research, nutritional and therapeutic properties
2006, Journal of Food Composition and Analysis
Morinda citrifolia L., the “noni”, has been used in traditional Polynesian medicine for over 2000 years. Morinda citrifolia (Rubiaceae) is an evergreen shrub whose ripe fruit has a strong butyric acid smell and flavor. The leaves and especially the fruit are consumed in different forms by various communities (e.g., the Polynesians) throughout the world; the root is used as a

Morinda citrifolia, a fruit commonly known as “Noni”, has been habitually used in parts of East Asia to relieve many diseases. Noni juice is a globally popular health beverage originating in the tropics. Traditional healers believe the noni plant to be useful for a wide range of health issues and noni juice consumers throughout the world have similar perceptions. Product derived from the fruit Morinda citrifolia (Noni) have been commercialized in USA since 1990’s and are increasing distributed all over the world. In European countries fruit juice of noni has been approved as novel food by European commission in, 2003. Noni has tradionally used to relieve inflammatory disease, Fermented noni has effect on atopic dermatis(AD) to study the improving effect of fermented noni treatment on atopic dermatitis like skin lesions and elucidate molecular mechanism. It is most effective against colon and rectal cancer. Morindone and damnacanthal have significant cytotoxicity effect and selectivi...

Morinda citrifolia, commonly called noni, has a long history as a medicinal plant and its use as a botanical dietary supplement has grown tremendously in recent years. This has prompted a concomitant increase in research on the phytochemical constituents and biological activity of noni. A relatively large number of scientific publications on noni have been published in recent years, including a number of review articles. The goals of this review are to provide an updated categorization of the phytochemical constituents found in noni and to provide perspective for its extensive utilization as a major botanical dietary supplement. Included herein are a comprehensive list of known ethno-botanical uses and common names of M. citrifolia, a brief summary of relevant biological studies and a discussion of the safety of noni as a supplement.

Morinda citrifolia L (noni) is one of the most important traditional Polynesian medicinal plants. Remedies from isolated Polynesian cultures, such as that of Rotuma, illustrate traditional indications that focus upon leaves, roots, bark, and green fruit, primarily for topical ailments. Anecdotally collected Hawaiian remedies that employ noni fruit illustrate changing usage patterns with shifts in recent times to preparation of juice made of ripe or decaying fruit. Ralph M. Heinicke promoted a wide range of claims about noni, and these seem to have fueled much of the current commercial interest in the plant. Recent studies of the proliferation of commercial products have shown that noni product manufacturers are promoting a range of therapeutic claims. These claims are based upon traditional Polynesian uses, Heinicke's ideas, and fragments of recent scientific studies including the activity of noni in the treatment of cancer. A review is provided of recent studies of potential anticancer activity of noni fruit. While noni's anticancer potential is still being explored, it continues to be widely used by Polynesians and non-Polynesians alike for both traditional and newly hypothesized indications.

The plant Morinda citrifolia L. (Noni) has been the subject of several recent research due to its positive impact on the treatment and prevention of a variety of diseases. Noni fruits contain a variety of phytochemicals, including flavonoid, polyphenol, and triterpenoid saponin. This study aimed to determine the best pre-treatment (including blanching, soaking in ascorbic acid solution and metabisulfite solution) and air-drying temperature (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) to maximize the total polyphenol content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and triterpenoid saponin contents (TSC) of the resultant Noni fruit powder. The results revealed that pre-soaked Noni fruit samples in ascorbic acid or metabisulfite solution before air-drying at 60 °C were beneficial in preserving TPC, TFC, and TSC. TPC, TFC, and TSC losses increased as drying temperatures (70 and 80 °C) rose. The optimum sample was held at five different relative humidity conditions until they attained weight equilibrium. The results indicated that the sorption isotherm curve of the Noni powder was the sigmoid shape and fitted with the BET and GAB models.

The genus Morinda (Rubiaceae), including the species Morinda citrifolia L., is made up of around 80 species. Morinda citrifolia is a bush or small tree, 3-10 m tall, with abundant wide elliptical leaves (5-17 cm length, 10-40 cm width). The small tubular white flowers are grouped together and inserted on the peduncle.
Under favorable conditions, the plant can bear fruit about nine months to one year after planting, where M. citrifolia plots are usually harvested two or three times per month and one hectare of M. citrifolia can yield around 35 tons of juice. Fruits are usually harvested at different stages, but most processors buy them at the "hard white" stage for juice production (Chan-Blanco et al ...
Noni is the common name for Morinda citrifolia, a small to medium sized tree (3-10 m high) with a pantropical distribution [4]. Noni fruit and leaves have a history of food use among Pacific Islanders as well as in Southern and Southeast Asia. Although the fruit is edible, its flavor has been described as akin to bad cheese [5].
The unripe fruit is dark green in color and the ripe fruit releases a strong butyric acid like decayed smell. The pulp is juicy and bitter, light dull yellowish white, gelatinous when the fruit is ripped; numerous hard triangular reddish brown pits are found (Figure 3).2 The Noni juice is prepared from ripe Noni fruit which is having unpleasant
The 600 mg dose of noni extract (equivalent to 20 g of dried noni fruit/8.712 μg of scopoletin) was the minimum dose that could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea in the early postoperative period .
