Abstract
Noni (Morinda citrifolia Linn.) fruit is a nutritional food with more potential health benefits for many years. In the present study, methanol solvent extract of dry noni fruit was obtained and its active components was investigated. Firstly, the extract showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Streptococcus thermophilus, Staphylococcus aureus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Candida albicans in disk diffusion assay with inhibition zone range (12.25, 12.31, 10.46, 10.77, 12.08 mm) at concentration of 860 mg/mL respectively. Then, twenty-one components were separated and identified in the extract by GC-MS. Among them, six were never reported in Noni plant. Finally, three novel components, 2-furan methanol, 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-methyl, and dihydro-3-(2H)-thiophen-one were obtained commercially. The dilution turbidity assay showed that they all exhibit antimicrobial activities against the above strains. Our data provides sufficient evidence of novel for its application in the food industry case of bio-preservatives and dietary sources for antimicrobial activity from the natural source.
