J. Noni Res. 2007, 2(1-2) Peptide and Mineral profile of Morinda citrifolia fruits and leaves Keywords : Peptide profile, leaves, fruits M.citrifolia Abstract : Morinda citrifolia (noni) has a long history related to medical uses in Southeast Asian countries. Today, noni grows in the majority of the southern Pacific areas, in India, the Caribbean, South America and the West Indies. In order to obtain better understanding of the medicinal characteristics of the noni fruits and leaves, the peptide profile and the mineral compositions of the raw juice extracted from M. citrifolia fruits and leaves were determined. Morinda citrifolia fruit and leaves were subjected to dry ashing for the preparation of acid-mineral extract for micronutrients and macronutrients analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. For analysis of peptide profile the water extraction of the M.citrifloia fruits and leaves were done and the extract was used for HPLC analysis. The peptide profile of the Morinda citrifoilia fruits and leaves were studied by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The concentration of micro and macro mineral of M.citrifolia leaves was found to be more than fruits. The HPLC analysis of the peptide profile of the M.citrifolia revealed the following peptide in various concentration such as Gly-Tyr, val-Tyr-Val, Meth-Enkaphalin and Leu- Enkaphalin. Overall, the peptide concentration of the leaf extract was found to be more than the fruit extract. High level of peptide Val-Tyr-Val was found in leaf extract (15.856 ppm) while in fruit the peptide Leuenkephalin was maximum (3.697 ppm). The peptide analysis of the M.citrifolia may be useful in studying various alkaloids present in the fruits and leaves and will be of use in studying the effect of Morinda extract in immune system regulation. Introduction Andaman & Nicobar Islands have a vast variety and diversity in tropical underutilized fruits. Their plant parts have a close association with local beliefs and rituals and are used in health care needs in rich ethnic life of people. The interesting fact is that the tribes i.e., Nicobari tribes of these islands have very long association with noni plant, as they have been using different parts as medicine for different purposes. They consume its fruits raw with salt as well as cooked vegetables (Singh et al., 2005).
