20 Total Phenol Content of Noni Fruits

21 Ascorbic Acid Content of Noni Fruits

22 Quality of dietary supplements Current Good Manufacturing Practices for Dietary Supplements (FDA, 2007) Require the manufacturer to establish and meet specification for identity, purity, strength, and composition and limits on contaminants to prevent adulteration during manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding

23 Effects of processing and storage on quality Factors affecting bioactive components and biological activities Time, temperature, light, oxygen How stable of bioactive components and biological activities During processing During storage

24 Comparison fresh noni juice with commercial products

25 Compare noni powder with commercial products

26 HPLC Profile

27 Anti-cancer effects

28 Antimicrobial activity of various juices on E. coli O157:H Fresh NJ Fermented NJ Commercial NJ Grape Juice 7.50 Log 10 CFU/g Concentration (µl/ml)

29 Shelf-life Shelf-life Expiration date, best by or best before Shall be supported by data and rationale that the product meets established specifications at the indicated date (GMP s 2002) Justify the structure/function claim An amount of the effective substance sufficiently remains in the product as of the product s expiration date (80%) (Labuza, 2002)

30 Shelf-life of noni products No clear expiration date only months and date, no year Up to months

31 What is in the bottle? Quality Quantity of bioactive components in finished noni products Efficacy of biological activities in finished noni products No clear structure/function claims Health, pure, feel so good, everyone, everywhere, finest product Uncertain what is in the bottle in noni product?

32 Estimation of the shelf-life of noni products Based on marker compounds Scopoletin, rutin, ursolic acid,β-sitosterol, asperuloside, damnacanthal Shelf-life indicators Antioxidant capacity Efficacy of inhibition of Escherichia coli growth and Hela cancer-cell proliferation Criteria 20% or 50% loss of original quantity

44 Light and temperature effects on noni powders

45 Light and temperature effects on noni powders

46 Correlation of TAC and ascorbic acid

47 Correlation of TAC and total phenolics

48 Part III: New approaches to make noni juice

49 Challenges to make noni juice No juice obtained by simply pressing or squeezing noni fruits Barriers by polymeric carbohydrates, such as pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose Alternative approaches to noni juice Enzymatic liquefaction Freezing technology

50 Enzyme liquefaction Enzymes: cellulases, hemicellulases, and pectolytic enzymes Improve the juice yield, release cell content, reduce viscosity, and clarify juice

51 Effect of enzyme treatments on the yield, ph and Brix of noni juice Enzymes (1%) Yield (%) ph Brix ( ) Control XL SPL Cellulase Amylase β-glycosidase Noni fruits were blanched, treated with 1% enzyme and incubated at 45 C for 5 hours

52 Effect of enzymes on the antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid and total phenols of noni juice Enzymes DPPH ORAC TEAC Ascorbic acid Total phenols Control XL SPL Cellulase Amylase β-glycosidase

53 Color characteristics of enzyme treated noni juice Enzymes L* a* b* Hue angle Chroma Control XL SPL Cellulase Amylase β-glycosidase

54 Effect of SPL concentration on enzyme treated noni juice Conc (%) Yield (%) ph Brix DPPH ORAC TEAC Ascorb ic acid Total phenol s

55 Freezing-juicing technology Break cell walls by ice crystals Native enzymes break down pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose during thawing Making noni juice at relative low temperature, which retains phytochemicals and nutrients of original noni fruits The freezing-juicing processing is much more efficient than the traditional fermentation

56 Noni fruits Clean Ripening Freezing Thawing Bottling Pasteurization Storage Methods

57 Quality of noni juice made with freezing-juicing method Yield: 35-50% ph: Brix : 8-12 Antioxidant capacity: mg vitamin C equivalent/100 ml Total phenolic content: mg gallic acid/100 ml Vitamin C content: mg/100 ml Sensory quality: light yellow

58 Summary Fresh noni fruit possesses significant antioxidant capacity Antioxidant capacity of noni juice decreased much faster than noni powder during storage Storage in freezer retains more antioxidant capacity of noni products than in refrigerator and at room temperature Light exhibits significant effects on reduction of antioxidant characteristics of noni juice Enzyme liquefaction technology and freezing technology improve the quality of noni juice

59 Future Research Identifying marker compounds and indicators in noni (Morinda citrifolia) products for shelflife determination and quality control Funded by USDA TSTAR program ( )

60 Objectives of the new noni project Identify marker compounds and/or potential indicators that can be used to determine shelf-life and control quality of noni products Determine shelf-life of noni products by stability studies using the Accelerated Shelf Life Test with identified marker compounds and/or indicators Validate the shelf-life of commercial noni products and predict shelf-life of noni products under various storage conditions

61 Expected results Estimate the right shelf-life of noni products Communicate results with noni processors, farmers, and consumers in the Pacific islands
