D.R.Singh et al. Peptide and Mineral pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> Morinda citrifolia fruits and leaves<br />
the present study, the similar trend <strong>of</strong> micro and macro nutrients was obtained.<br />
The high level <strong>of</strong> ascorbic acid was obtained in almost all the accession. The<br />
average value was recorded as 113 mg /100g. Varieties in nutrient composition<br />
in leaf and fruit from one accession to another might be attributed to tropical<br />
hot and humid climatic condition prevailing in Andaman & Nicobar islands.<br />
