Nutrients of Noni Fruit:
Macronutrients
Analyzed as a whole fruit powder Noni fruit has excellent levels of carbohydrates and dietary fiber, providing 55% and 100% of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI), respectively, in a 100 g serving. A good source of protein (12% DRI), Noni pulp is low in total fats (4% DRI]).
These macronutrients evidently reside in the fruit pulp, as Noni juice has sparse amounts of macronutrients.
Micronutrients
The main micronutrient features of Noni pulp include exceptional vitamin C content and substantial amounts of niacin (vitamin B3), iron and potassium, Vitamin A, calcium and sodium are present in moderate amounts.
100g of juice provides 8% of the DRI for carbohydrates, only traces of other macronutrients and low or trace levels of 10 essential vitamins, 7 essential dietary minerals and 18 amino acids.
Phytochemicals
- Lignans - a group of phytoestrogens having biological activities.
- oligo- and polysaccharides – long-chain sugar molecules that serve a prebiotic function as dietary fiber fermentable by colonic bacteria, yielding short chain fatty acids with numerous potential health properties not yet defined by scientific research on Noni.
- Flavonoids – phenolic compounds such as rutin and asperulosidic acid, common in several Rubiaceae plants.
- iridoids - secondary metabolites found in many plants
- trisaccharide fatty acid esters, "noniosides" - resulting from combination of an alcohol and an acid in Noni fruit
- free fatty acids - most prominent in Noni fruit are caprylic and hexanoic acids, responsible for unique pungent (cheese-like) aroma of ripe Noni fruit[13]
- scopoletin – may have antibiotic activities.
- catechin and epicatechin
- beta-sitosterol – a plant sterol with potential for anti-cholesterol activity.
- damnacanthal – a potentially toxic anthraquinone, putatively an inhibitor of HIV viral proteins
- Alkaloids – naturally occurring amines from plants. Some internet references mention xeronine or proxeronine as important Noni constituents. However, as no reports on either of these substances exist in published medical literature, the terms are scientifically unrecognized. Further, chemical analysis of commercially processed juice did not reveal presence of any alkaloids.
