Abstract
Noni fruit is widely distributed in Vietnam, and it needs support for broader utilization due to its diverse health benefits. This study aimed to assess representative noni samples from different species and geographic locations in Vietnam. Variations in nutritional composition, mineral, and bioactive content among these samples were analytically investigated. Noni fruits from the sampling regions and their total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total saponin content, and vitamin C were analyzed. Additionally, the impacts of ripeness and storage duration on bioactive changes were evaluated. Harvest time combined with storage of approximately 110 days of maturation from flowering yielded fully ripe noni fruits. The highest bioactive contents (p < 0.05) were exhibited on such the matured fruits that should be suitable for subsequent processing. Optimal harvest timing, coupled with appropriate storage, ensures the delivery of bioactive-rich noni fruits. The research findings contribute to the development of functional food products. Further studies are warranted to explore scalability and applications. The feasibility of preliminary noni powder production was also discussed, which emphasizes the need for further research.
