Chemical characterization of different parts of noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruit and its freeze-dried pulp powder with emphasis on its bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities

The aim of this study was to prepare the freeze dried powder noni (Morinda citrifolia) pulp and determine contents bioactive antioxidant capacity. Seed, peel, lyophilized were characterized in terms physico-chemical, carotenoids, chlorophyll, sugars, ascorbic acid, phenolics, flavonoids antioxidants contents. Phenolic compounds determined by LC-MS. showed high levels phenolics (7486.38 µg GAE/g 385.57 QE/g, respectively) higher activity for FRAP (10360.39 467970.40 mmol/100 g). Ascorbic acid has a concentration (336.62 mg/100 Rutin, caffeic, artepillin C, quercetin-3-glucoside, kaempferol, vanillin vanillic major compounds. effect present various components fruit predominant, greater conservation potential through application lyophilization. Thus, may be considered as good source having natural antioxidants.
