“…Currently, there are some questions regarding the content and quality of the growing number of commercial noni products (West et al ., 2006; Palu et al ., 2005). As such, validated analytical methods are needed for authentication and quality control.…”

Iridoids DAA and AA are found to be present in leaf, root, seed and flower of noni plants, and were identified as the major components in noni fruit. Given the great variation of iridoid contents in noni fruit grown in different tropical areas worldwide, geographical factors appear to have significant effects on fruit composition. The iridoids in noni fruit were stable at the temperatures used during pasteurisation and, therefore, may be useful marker compounds for identity and quality testing of commercial noni products.

“…, 2007). The noni fruit industry has grown tremendously in the past 10 years, with a large number of producers marketing the juice globally, especially after the approval of the juice as a safe novel food within the European Union, (West et al. , 2006b).…”

The nutritional quality and safety of oil extracted from noni (Morinda citrifolia) seeds was evaluated to determine its potential as a useful vegetable oil. The average oil content of noni seeds was found to be 124.9 g kg 1 . The mean linoleic acid content of crude noni seed oil was 59.4%. The average b-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and a-tocopherol contents of noni seed oil were 4310, 2195, 2020, and 382 mg kg )1 , respectively. No evidence of acute oral toxicity was observed for noni seed or the oil at 5 g kg )1 b.w. and 10 mL kg )1 b.w., respectively. Noni seed oil was not gentoxic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay or the in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay. These results indicate that noni seeds may be a useful new source of vegetable oil.

“…The minerals were mainly potassium, sulfur, calcium, and phosphorus with traces of selenium. Potassium was the major mineral reported by West et al (2006a) and West (2006). West (2009b) measured the mineral contents and pH of ash residues in noni fruit juice and noni leaves.…”
