Abstract :
Plants are potential sources of natural antioxidants. Herbal and natural products have been used for centuries, throughout the world, in every culture. Natural antioxidants are widely used because they are safe and cause less adverse reactions. Morinda citrifolia L. commonly known as Noni from the family Rubiaceae is a plant typically found in Hawaii, Tahiti, tropical Asia, and southern Taiwan. It can be used as a raw material for nutraceutical and functional food products. Various parts of the plant, including the roots, stems, leaves and fruit have been consumed solely on the basis of the assumption that it possesses healing properties. However, it has never been scientifically proven that Morinda citrifolia L has the ability to cure these illnesses. Many In vitro and In vivo antioxidant studies of Morinda citrifolia L leaf showed that it possess antioxidant property.
In vitro antioxidant study of fruit extract showed very low antioxidant potential.
