What is Noni ( Morinda citrifolia L.) about?

Noni ( Morinda citrifolia L.) is the small tropical evergreen tree native to South-East Asia whose whole fruit, juice, seed, leaf, bark and root are used as sources of traditional medicines by Australian aboriginal, Pacifi c Island and South-East Asian communities. These plant parts have shown antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-cancer and anti-infl ammatory properties. Noni cultivation has spread extensively to regions such as Mexico, Central and South America, and in recent years its economic value has grown signifi cantly worldwide due to assertions of its health benefi ts. The largest markets for noni products are North America, Europe, Japan, Mexico, Asia and Australia. It is sold mainly as juice, but the fruit is also often marketed in its fresh, unprocessed form in both formal and informal markets. Optimization of agricultural techniques, postharvest practices and processing technologies for noni are required. Postharvest handling information on the fruit is quite scarce.
