Noni Fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) Extraction and Phytochemical Analyses: A Mini Review

Noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) contains many beneficial bioactive ingredients and is used in traditional medicines and health supplements in tropical and subtropical countries. However, the fruit rots easily, so it must be rapidly processed to isolate bioactive ingredients with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. While many different noni fruit extraction methods are available in the literature, the objective of this mini-review was to briefly assess these methods and ensure appropriate method selection for the isolation of optimal bioactive ingredients.
