Description:
ACAI AND IRIDOID BASED FORMULATIONS

1. Field of Invention

Embodiments of the invention relate to fortified food and dietary supplement products, which may be administered to produce desirable physiological improvement. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to the administration of products enhanced with Acai and iridoids.

2. Background

Dietary supplements may be designed to produce provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Today's market offers a variety of dietary supplements in various forms including foods, liquids and nutritional supplements.

Nutraceuticals are dietary supplements that may generally be defined as dietary products fortified to provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Nutraceutical products include a wide range of goods including isolated nutrients, dietary supplements, herbal products, processed foods and beverages. With recent breakthroughs in cellular-level nutraceuticals agents, researchers, and medical practitioners are developing therapies complimentary to responsible medical practice and maintenance of good health. Generally, nutraceutical include a product isolated or purified from foods, and are generally sold in forms that demonstrate a physiological benefit or to provide protection against chronic disease.

There are multiple types of products that fall under the category of nutraceuticals. For example, nutraceuticals may be manufactured as dietary supplements, functional foods or medical products. A dietary supplement is a product that contains nutrients derived from food products that are concentrated in liquid, powder or capsule form. A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that contains a dietary ingredient intended to supplement the diet. Dietary ingredients in these products may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, and substances such as enzymes and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates, and may be found in many forms such as tablets capsules, softgels, gelcaps, liquids or powders.

Functional foods include ordinary food that has components or ingredients added to give it a specific medical or physiological benefit, other than a purely nutritional effect. Functional foods may be designed to allow consumers to eat enriched foods close to their natural state, rather than by taking dietary supplements manufactured in liquid or capsule form. Functional foods may be produced in their naturally-occurring form, rather than a capsule, tablet, or powder, can be consumed in the diet as often as daily, and may be used to regulate a biological process in hopes of preventing or controlling disease.

Iridoids are a class of secondary metabolites found in a wide variety of plants and in some animals and may be used in association with a dietary supplement. They are monoterpenes biosynthesized from isoprene and they are often intermediates in the biosynthesis of alkaloids. Chemically, iridoids usually consist of a cyclopentane ring fused to a six-membered oxygen heterocycle. Cleavage of a bond in the cyclopentane ring gives rise to a subclass known as seco-iridoids. Iridoids are typically found in plants as glycosides, most often bound to glucose. Iridoids are found in many medicinal plants and may be responsible for the some of their pharmaceutical activities. Iridoids are produced by plants primarily as a defense against herbivores or against infection by microorganisms. Iridoids are often characterized by a deterrent bitter taste.

"Acai" is a species of palm tree characteristic of Para, a northern region of Brazil. Acai has a thin trunk and dark purple, round, egg-shaped clustered fruits. The Latin name for Acai is Euterpe oleracea; family, Palmaceae. The term Acai as used herein refer to all subspecies within the Euterpe genus. For example the term Acai includes a Euterpe sub-species, E. catinga, which also found in Brazil, and another Euterpe subspecies, E. precatoria, which is found in Bolivia sometimes referred to as "jucara".

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Some embodiments relate to formulations that provide a specific physiological benefit. Some embodiments relate to formulations designed to prevent or control disease. Some embodiments comprise a processed Acai product and a source of iridoids, and methods for manufacturing the same.

Some embodiments provide a processed Acai product selected from a group consisting of: extract from the leaves of Acai, leaf hot water extract, processed Acai leaf ethanol extract, processed Acai leaf steam distillation extract, Acai fruit juice, Acai extract, Acai dietary fiber, Acai puree juice, Acai puree, Acai fruit juice concentrate, Acai puree juice concentrate, freeze concentrated Acai fruit juice, Acai seeds, Acai seed extracts, extracts from defatted Acai seeds and evaporated concentration of Acai fruit juice, in combination with an amount of iridoids sourced from at least one of a variety of plants.

Prefered embodiments are formulated to provide a physiological benefit. For example some embodiments may selectively inhibit COX- l/COX-2, regulate TNF- alpha and Nitric oxide and 5-LOX, increase IFN-gamma secretion, inhibit histamine release, inhibit human neutrophils, regulate elastase enzyme activity, inhibit the complement pathway, inhibit the growth microbials including gram - and gram + bacteria, inhibit DNA repair systems, inhibit cancer cell growth and act as a cytotoxic agent against cancer cells, inhibit platelets aggregations, provide DPPH scavenging effects, provide antiviral activity, provide antispasmodic activity, provide wound- healing and provide neuroprotective activities.

One or more Acai extracts can be further combined with other ingredients or carriers to produce a pharmaceutical Acai product or composition ("pharmaceutical" herein referring to any drug or product designed to improve the health of living organisms such as human beings or mammals, including nutraceutical products). Examples of pharmaceutical Acai products may include, but are not limited to, orally administered solutions and intravenous solutions.

Methods of the present invention also include the obtaining of Acai compositions and extracts, including Acai fruit juice and concentrates thereof. It will be noted that some of the embodiments of the present invention contemplate obtaining the Acai fruit juice pre-made. Various methods of the present invention shall be described in more detail further herein.

The following disclosure of the present invention is grouped into subheadings. The utilization of the subheadings is for convenience of the reader only and is not to be construed as limiting in any sense.

General Description of the Acai Plant

Some embodiments of the invention are drawn to a stable and palatable Acai-based dietary supplement composition. While the foregoing discussion focuses primarily on the Acai fruit and dietary supplements derived therefrom, the present disclosure also provides Jucara-based dietary supplement compositions. Acai fruit contain mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, relatively low

concentration of saturated fat and trans fatty acids, lipids, fibers, protein, Vitamin E and anthocyanins. Acai fruit have not been extensively used historically in part because the fruit is prone to microbial contamination by bacteria, fungi and yeast. The fruit and juice made from the Acai fruits deteriorate rapidly, losing their palatability and antioxidant properties. Some reports indicate that nearly half of the anthocyanins degrade within two days after the fruit is picked. Some companies have tried freezing the fruit pulp in an effort to overcome the rapid deterioration of Acai fruit and juice. Freezing the Acai fruit pulp requires careful monitoring of the temperature-. Slight deviations in temperature result in the activation of deteriorating enzymes and fermenting agents. Thawing frozen fruit pulp for use may affect the texture of the pulp adversely.

Processing Acai Leaves The leaves of the Acai plant are one possible component of the Acai plant that may be present in some compositions of the present invention. For example, some compositions comprise leaf extract and/or leaf juice as described further herein. Some compositions comprise a leaf serum that is comprised of both leaf extract and fruit juice obtained from the Acai plant. Some compositions of the present invention comprise leaf serum and/or various leaf extracts as incorporated into a nutraceutical product ("nutraceutical" herein referring to any product designed to improve the health of living organisms such as human beings or mammals).

In some embodiments, active ingredients may be extracted from the Acai leaf. For exampole extracts may be obtained utilizing an alcohol such as ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, or other alcohol-based derivatives using methods known in the art. Alternatively, extracts may be obtained utilizing organic solvents. In some embodiments, the alcohol and all alcohol-soluble ingredients may be separated from the leaf to a "primary leaf extract."

The primary leaf extract may be further fractionated, for example, into a dry hexane fraction, and an aqueous methanol fraction. In some embodiments, a methanol fraction may be further fractionated to obtain secondary methanol fractions. In some embodiments, the hexane fraction is further fractionated to obtain secondary hexane fractions.

One or more of the leaf extracts, including the primary leaf extract, the hexane fraction, methanol fraction, or any of the secondary hexane or methanol fractions may be combined with the fruit juice of the fruit of the Acai plant to obtain a leaf serum. Alternatively, one or more of the leaf extracts, including the primary leaf extract, the hexane fraction, methanol fraction, or any of the secondary hexane or methanol fractions may be combined with additional ingredients to produce a dietary supplement.

Processing Acai Fruit

Some embodiments of the present invention include a composition comprising fruit juice of the Acai plant. Processed Acai fruit juice can be prepared by separating seeds and peels from the juice and pulp of a ripened Acai fruit; filtering the pulp from the juice; and packaging the juice. Alternatively, rather than packaging the juice, the juice can be immediately included as an ingredient in another product, frozen or pasteurized. In some embodiments, the juice and pulp can be pureed into a homogenous blend to be mixed with other ingredients. Other processes include freeze drying the fruit and juice. The fruit and juice can be reconstituted during production of the final juice product.

In some embodiments the Acai fruit is either hand picked or picked by mechanical equipment. The fruit may be processed through a manual or mechanical separator. The seeds and peel may be separated from the juice and pulp.

The Acai juice and pulp may be blended in a homogenous blend, after which they may be mixed with other ingredients, such as flavorings, sweeteners, nutritional ingredients, botanicals, and colorings. The finished juice product may be pasturized. Another product manufactured is Acai puree and puree juice, in either concentrate or diluted form. Puree is essentially the pulp separated from the seeds and is different than the fruit juice product described herein.

The juice and pulp may be further processed by separating the pulp from the juice through filtering equipment. The resulting pulp extract may be pasteurized and then packed in drums for further processing or made into a high fiber product.

The filtered juice may be concentrated. For example the filtered juice may be vacuum evaporated to a brix of 40 to 70 and moisture of 0.1 to 80 percent, more preferably from 25 to 75 percent. The resulting concentrated Acai juice may or may not be pasteurized. For example, the juice may not be pasteurized in circumstances where the sugar content or water activity was sufficiently low enough to prevent microbial growth.

Processing Acai Seeds

Some Acai compositions of the present invention include seeds from the Acai plant. In some embodiments, Acai seeds are processed by pulverizing them into a seed powder in a laboratory mill. In some embodiments, the seed powder is left untreated.

In some embodiments, active ingredients may be extracted from the Acai seed. For example extracts may be obtained utilizing an alcohol such as ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, or other alcohol-based derivatives using methods known in the art. Alternatively, extracts may be ' obtained utilizing organic solvents. In some embodiments, the alcohol and all alcohol-soluble ingredients may be separated from the seed to a "primary seed extract."

The primary seed extract may be further fractionated, for example, into a dry hexane fraction, and an aqueous methanol fraction. In some embodiments, a methanol fraction may be further fractionated to obtain secondary methanol fractions. In some embodiments, the hexane fraction may be further fractionated to obtain secondary hexane fractions.

One or more of the seed extracts, including the primary seed extract, the hexane fraction, methanol fraction, or any of the secondary hexane or methanol fractions may be combined with the fruit juice of the fruit of the Acai plant to obtain a serum (the process of obtaining the fruit juice to be described further herein).

In some embodiments, the seed powder may be defatted by soaking and stirring the powder in hexane for a period of time, for example 1 hour at room temperature (Drug : Hexane - Ratio 1 : 10). The residue, in some embodiments, is then filtered under vacuum, defatted again (e.g., for 30 minutes under the same conditions), and filtered under vacuum again. The powder may be kept overnight in a fume hood in order to remove the residual hexane.

Still further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the defatted and/or untreated powder is extracted, preferably with ethanol 50% (m/m) for 24 hours at room temperature at a drug solvent ratio of 1 :2.

Processing Acai Oil

Some embodiments of the present invention may comprise oil extracted from the Acai plant. The method for extracting and processing the oil is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,214,351 , which is incorporated by reference herein.

Iridoids

Embodiments of the present invention comprise a source of iridoids compositions, each of which include one or more processed plant(s) or are secured from naturally occurring source of iridoids. Iridoids are a class of secondary metabolites found in a wide variety of plants and in some animals. Typical structural formulas for common iridoids are depicted in Figures 1 and 2. There are at least three different types of Iridoids: Glycosidic Iridoids with a sugar molecule attach to the monoterpene cyclic ring; Non-Glycosidic Iridoids without a sugar molecule attach to the monoterpene cyclic ring; and Secoiridoid iridoids known for its bitterness and function as deterrence for herbivores but it is simply a class of Iridoids derived from deoxyloganic acid via oxidation to carboxyl at Cn.

Methods of the present invention comprise the administration and/or consumption of a combination of a processed Euterpe Oleracea product and a source of iridoids in an amount designed to produce a desirable physiological response. It will be understood that specific dosage levels of any compositions that will be administered to any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the patient's age, body weight, general health, gender, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular diseases undergoing therapy or in the process of incubation.

Studies performed have revealed that Iridoids in combination with a processed Euterpe Oleracea product exhibit, unexpected synergistic bioactivity including; neuroprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, cardiovascular, anti- hepatotoxic, choleretic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antispasmodic, antiviral, antimicrobial, immunomodulator, antiallergic, anti-leishmanial, and molluscicidal effect.

Preferred embodiments are formulated to provide a physiological benefit. For example, some embodiments may provide an anti-inflammatory activity selectively inhibit COX- l/COX-2 and/or by regulating regulate TNF-alpha, Nitric oxide and 5- LOX; regulate immunomodulation by increases IFN-gamma . secretion; provide antiallergic activity by inhibiting histamine release; provide anti-arthritic activity by inhibiting human neutrophils, regulating elastase enzyme activity, inhibiting the complement pathway; provide antimicrobial activity by inhibiting the growth of various microbials including gram - and gram + bacteria; providing antifungal activity by inhibiting DNA repair systems; provide anticancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell growth and by being cytotoxic to cancer cells; provide anticoagulant activity by inhibiting platelets aggregations; provide antioxidant activity by providing DPPH scavenging effects; provide antiviral activity including anti-HSV, anti-RSV, and anti-VSV activity; provide antispasmodic activity; provide wound-healing activity by stimulating the growth of human dermal fibroblasts; and provide neuroprotective activities by blocking the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and enhancing Nerve Growth Factor-potentiating (NGF) activity.

Methods of the present invention also include manufacturing a composition comprising an iridoid source and/or extracts. Each of the methods described above in the discussion relevant to processing the Acai plant products may likewise be utilized to process the constitutive elements of plant being utilized as a source of iridoids.

For example the leaves of one or more of the plants listed above may be processed. For example, some compositions comprise leaf extract and/or leaf juice. Some compositions comprise a leaf serum that is comprised of both leaf extract and fruit juice obtained from one or more plants. Some compositions of the present invention comprise leaf serum and/or various leaf extracts as incorporated into a nutraceutical product ("nutraceutical" herein referring to any product designed to improve the health of living organisms such as human beings or mammals).

In some embodiments of the present invention, the leaf extracts are obtained using the following process. First, relatively dry leaves from the selected plant or plants are collected, cut into small pieces, and placed into a crushing device- preferably a hydraulic press— where the leaf pieces are crushed. In some embodiments, the crushed leaf pieces are then percolated with an alcohol such as ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, or other alcohol-based derivatives using methods known in the art. Next, in some embodiments, the alcohol and all alcohol-soluble ingredients are extracted from the crushed leaf pieces, leaving a leaf extract that is then reduced with heat to remove all the liquid therefrom. The resulting dry leaf extract will herein be referred to as the "primary leaf extract."

In some embodiments, the primary leaf extract is subsequently pasteurized. The primary leaf extract may be pasteurized preferably at a temperature ranging from 70 to 80 degrees Celsius and for a period of time sufficient to destroy any objectionable organisms without major chemical alteration of the extract. Pasteurization may also be accomplished according to various radiation techniques or methods.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the pasteurized primary leaf extract is placed into a centrifuge decanter where it is centrifuged to remove or separate any remaining leaf juice therein from other materials, including chlorophyll. Once the centrifuge cycle is completed, the leaf extract is in a relatively purified state. This purified leaf extract is then pasteurized again in a similar manner as discussed above to obtain a purified primary leaf extract.

Preferably, the primary leaf extract, whether pasteurized and/or purified, is further fractionated into two individual fractions: a dry hexane fraction, and an aqueous methanol fraction. This is accomplished preferably in a gas chromatograph containing silicon dioxide and CH2C12-MeOH ingredients using methods well known in the art. In some embodiments of the present invention, the methanol fraction is further fractionated to obtain secondary methanol fractions. In some embodiments, the hexane fraction is further fractionated to obtain secondary hexane fractions.

One or more of the leaf extracts, including the primary leaf extract, the hexane fraction, methanol fraction, or any of the secondary hexane or methanol fractions may be combined with the processed Acai product to obtain a leaf serum. In some embodiments, the leaf serum is packaged and frozen ready for shipment; in others, it is further incorporated into a nutraceutical product as explained herein.

Some embodiments of the present invention include a composition comprising fruit juice from one or more of the listed plants. Each of the methods described above in the discussion relevant to processing the Acai juice products may likewise be utilized to process the fruit of the plant being utilized as a source of iridoids.

Some embodiments comprise the use of seeds from the list of plants provided.

Each of the methods described above in the discussion relevant to processing seeds from the Acai plant may likewise be utilized to process the seeds of plant being utilized as a source of iridoids.

Some embodiments of the present invention may comprise oil extracted from the plant and/or plants selected as the source of iridoids. Each of the methods described above in the discussion relevant to processing the Acai plant to produce an oil extract may likewise be utilized to process the constitutive elements of plant being utilized as a source of iridoids.

Examples

The following example illustrates some of the embodiments of the present invention comprising the administration of a composition comprising components of the Indian Mulberry or Morinda citrifolia L. plant. These examples are not intended to be limiting in any way, but are merely illustrative of benefits, advantages, and remedial effects of some embodiments of the Morinda citrifolia compositions of the present invention.

As illustrated by the following Example, embodiments of the present invention have been tested. Specifically, the Example illustrates the results of in-vitro studies that confirmed that concentrates of processed Morinda citrifolia products ("TNJ" is an evaporative concentrate) and processed plants selected as sources of iridoids have unexpected beneficial physiological effects. The percentage of concentration refers to the concentration strength of the particular concentrate tested; that is, the strength of concentration relative to the processed product from which the concentrate was obtained.

Example One

A human clinical trial of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice in heavy smokers revealed that ingestion of noni juice has DNA protective activity. Phytochemical analysis of TAHIITIAN NONI® Juice has revealed iridoids, specifically deacetylasperulosidic acid (DAA) and asperulosidic acid (AA) are the major phytochemcial constituents of noni fruit. DAA and AA were isolated from noni fruit puree from French Polyensia to evaluate their DNA protective potentials in vitro and make an assessment of their role in the results observed in the clinical trial.

The SOS-chromotest in E. coli PQ37 was used to determine the potential for iridoids in noni fruit from French Polynesia to prevent primary DNA damage. E coli PQ37 was incubated at 37 ° C in the presence of deacetylasperulosidic acid and asperulosidic acid at a concentration of 250 ug mL " 1 in a 96- well plate. Replicate samples were evaluated. The samples were also incubated with 1.25 ug mL " 1 4- nitroquinoline 1 -oxide (4NQO). Blank replicates were also prepared, where cells were not incubated with to iridoids or 4NQO. Additionally, a 1.25 ug mL "1 4NQO positive control was included in this assay. Following incubation with the samples, 5- bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-P-D-galactopyranoside was added to the wells to detect β- galactosidase enzyme activity, which is induced during SOS repair of damaged DNA. The samples were again incubated for 90 minutes and the absorbances of the samples, blank and positive control were measured at 620 nm with a microplate reader. The β- galactosidase enzyme activity induction factor of each material was calculated by dividing the absorbance of the sample at 620 nm by that of the blank, while also correcting for cell viability. Induction factors of the blank, which by definition is 1 , the positive control, and the sample wells containing DAA, plus 4NQO, and AA, plus 4NQO, were compared.

The β-galactosidase enzyme activity induction factor of 1.25 ug mL '1 4NQO was 6.09, indicating a six-fold increase in DNA damage in the cells. The induction factors (mean ± standard deviation) of the DAA and AA samples, each containing 1.25 ug mL "1 4NQO, were 0.98 + 0.02 and 1.04 ± 0.01 , respectively. The results are compared graphically in Figure 6. The results reveal that the DNA damaging ability of 4NQO was abolished by the addition of the iridoids.

The iridoids, DAA and AA, in noni fruit have the potential to protect DNA against 4NQO, a well known genotoxin. TAHITIAN NONI® Juice has also been shown to provide some level of DNA protection in humans against cigarette smoke, also a well known genotoxin. Further, chemical analysis has revealed that the major phytochemicals in noni fruit and TAHITIAN NONI® Juice are iridoids, specifically DAA and AA. " Therefore, it can be concluded that these iridoids are responsible for, or at least have a prominant role in, the DNA protective effects of noni juice observed in the human clinical trial involving heavy smokers.

Example Two

Analytical method to determine the quantity of iridoids in noni plant, as well as other fruits and their juices were developed. Major iridoids were isolated from the Morinda citrifolia plant as follows:

Chemicals and standards

Acetonitrile (MeCN), methanol (MeOH), and water (H 2 0) of HPLC grade were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Formic acid of analytical grade was purchased from Spectrum Chemical Mfg. Corp. (New Brunswick, NJ, USA). The chemical standard deacetylasperulosidic acid (DAA, 1) and asperulosidic acid (AA, 2) were isolated from noni fruits in our laboratory. Their purities were determined by HPLC and NMR to be higher than 99%. The chemical structures of DAA and AA are listed in Fig. 1. They were accurately weighed and then dissolved in an appropriate volume of MeCN to produce corresponding stock solutions. The working standard solution of 1 and 2 for the calibration curve was prepared by diluting the stock solution with MeOH in seven concentration increments ranging from 0.00174- 1.74 and 0.0016-0.80 mg/mL, respectively. All stock and working solutions were maintained at 0 °C in a refrigerator. The calibration curves of standards were plotted after linear regression of the peak areas versus concentrations.

Materials and Sample Preparation

Tahitian noni fruit puree as used in this example is the mashed whole fruit, excluding seeds and pericarp. The fruits were originally collected from the Tahitian Islands. One gram of the puree was diluted with 5 mL of H 2 0-MeOH ( 1 : 1) and mixed thoroughly. The solution was then filtered through a nylon microfilter (0.45-μπι pore size); the solution was collected into a 5 mL volumetric flask for HPLC analysis. Four batches of noni puree were analyzed in the experiments. Voucher specimens of the noni fruit puree are deposited in our lab. To test iridoid stability, a DAA solution of 0.5mg/mL was prepared with MeOH. This solution was heated in a water-bath at 90 ° for 1 min, cooled to room temperature, and analyzed by HPLC. Chromatographic Conditions and Instrumentation

Chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters 2690 separations module coupled with 996 PDA detectors, and equipped with an Atlantis CI 8 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm; 5 μηη, Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). The pump was connected to two mobile phases: A; MeCN, and B; 0.1 % formic acid in H 2 0 (v/v), and eluted at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase was programmed consecutively in linear gradients as follows: 0-5 min, 0% A; and 40 min, 30% A. The PDA detector was monitored in the range of 210-400 nm (235 nm was selected for quantitative analysis). The injection volume was 10 μΐ- for each of the sample solutions. The column temperature was maintained at 25 °C. Data collection and integration were performed using Waters Millennium software revision 32.

Method Validation

The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were defined as the lowest concentrations of analytes in a sample that can be detected and quantified. These LOD and LOQ limits were determined on the basis of signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) of 3: 1 and 10: 1 , respectively. The working solutions of standards 1 and 2 for LOD and LOQ were prepared by diluting them sequentially. The intra- and inter-day precision assays, as well as stability tests were performed by following the method applied to the sample analysis for 3 consecutive days. Accuracy of the method (recovery) was assessed by the recovery percentage of iridoids 1 and 2 in the spiked samples. The noni fruit puree samples were spiked with standards at 3 different concentrations (equivalent to 50%, 100% and 150% concentration of 1 and 2 in the samples). The recovery percentage was calculated using the ratio of concentration detected (actual) to those spiked (theoretical). Variation was evaluated by the relative standard deviation (RSD) of triplicate injections in the HPLC experiments.

Samples Analyzed

Several fruits and fruit juice products, such as purees, were prepared and analyzed according to the methods described above. Samples of various commercial brand name fruit juices were also analyzed. Samples of noni leaves and seeds were also analyzed. The analytical results are provided in the following tables.

Major phytochemical component of noni fruit and TAHITIAN NONI® Juice are iridoids, specifically deacetylasperuloside and asperulosidic acid. A small quantity of another iridoid is found in blueberry fruit juice concentrate, at approximately 3.8% of the total iridoid content of noni fruit puree. The other fruits and non-noni fruit products did not contain iridoids.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit of essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims, rather than by the foregoing description. All changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Example Three

The proximate nutritional, vitamin, mineral, and amino acid contents of processed noni fruit puree were determined. The phytochemical properties were evaluated, as well as an assessment made on the safety and potential efficacy of the major phytochemicals present in the puree. Processed noni fruit puree is a potential dietary source of vitamin C, vitamin A, niacin, manganese, and selenium. Vitamin C is the major nutrient present, in terms of concentration. The major phytochemicals in the puree are iridoids, especially deacetylasperulosidic acid, which were present in higher concentrations than vitamin C. The iridoids in noni did not display any oral toxicity or genotoxicity, but did possess potential anti-genotoxic activity. These findings suggest that deacetylasperulosidic acid may play an important role in the biological activities of noni fruit juice that have been observed in vitro, in vivo, and in human clinical trials.

1. Introduction

Morinda citrifolia, commonly known as noni, is a widely distributed tropical tree. It grows on the islands of the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Central America, Indian subcontinent, and in the Caribbean. Knowledge of the phytochemical profile of processed noni fruit puree is important in understanding potential bioactivities, as well as in understanding the compounds responsible for health effects already demonstrated in human clinical trials. Iridoids constitute the major phytochemical component of noni fruit, with a few other compounds, such as scopoletin, quercetin, and rutin have occurring in significant, although much less, quantities. Previous analyses have been limited in the amount of nutrient data provided. Further, they have not been representative of the commercially processed noni fruit puree, as processing conditions do alter the nutritional and phytochemical profiles of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the current chemical analyses were performed to provide more complete and accurate nutritional data. Analyses of the major phytochemicals in noni fruit were also carried out to provide an important reference for quality control and identity testing of these raw materials.

As the iridoids are present in significant quantities in noni fruit puree, genotoxicity and acute toxicity tests were performed to better understand their individual safety profiles. Therefore, the anti-genotoxic activities of the iridoids were evaluated in vitro, to investigate their potential roles in this reported DNA protection.

2. Materials and methods

2.1 Experimental materials

Noni fruits were harvested in French Polynesia and allowed to fully ripen.

The fruit was then processed into a puree by mechanical removal of the seeds and skin via micro-mesh screen in a commercial fruit pulper, followed by pasteurization (87°C for 3 seconds) at a good manufacturing certified fruit processing facility in Mataiea, Tahiti. The pasteurized puree is filled into aseptic containers, or totes containing 880 kg of noni fruit puree, and stored under refrigeration. Samples were obtained from 10 totes, from different batches, for the chemical analyses in this study.

For the acute oral toxicity test, an iridoid enriched fruit extract was prepared. This was done by removal of seeds and skin from the fruit flesh, followed by size reduction with a 0.65 mm sieve. An aqueous extract was prepared with the remaining fruit pulp, at ambient temperature, which was then freeze-dried, resulting in a total iridoid concentration of 1690 mg/ lOOg extract.

Freeze-dried noni fruit powder (36 g) was extracted with 1 L of methanol by percolation to produce 10 g of methanol extract. Following addition of water, the methanol extract was partitioned with ethylacetate ( 150 mL three times) to remove non-polar impurities. The aqueous extract was further partitioned with n-butanol ( 150 mL three times) to yield 3 g n-butanol extract. The extract was subjected to flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a stepwise dichloromethane:methanol (20: 1 -→ 1.5: 1) gradient solvent system to yield sixty-two primary fractions. Among these, the presence of two major compounds was indicated by a preliminary HPLC analysis. The iridoid containing fractions were combined and subject to further purification by using reverse phase preparative HPLC (Symmetry PrepTM CI 8 column, Waters Corp.), eluting with an isocratic solvent system of MeCN-H20 (35:65) at a flow rate of 3 mL/min, resulting in the isolation of DAA and AA.

2.2 Chemical analyses

Proximate nutritional analyses of noni fruit puree were carried out to determine moisture, fat, protein, ash, and carbohydrate contents. Protein content was determined by the Kjedahl method, Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) Method 979.09 (AOAC, 2000 a). Total moisture was determined gravimetrically by loss on drying at 100 °C in a vacuum oven. Fat determination involved continuous extraction by petroleum ether in a Soxhlet apparatus, AOAC Method 960.39 (AOAC, 2000 b). Ash was determined gravimetrically following combustion in a furnace at 550 °C. Carbohydrate was then calculated by difference. Total dietary fiber was determined according to AOAC Method 991.43 (AOAC, 2000 c). Fructose, glucose, and sucrose contents were determined according to AOAC method 982. 14 (AOAC, 2000 d).

Minerals were determined by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry (AOAC, 2000 e; AOAC, 2000 f). Vitamin A, as β-carotene, was determined by a modified AOAC official method 941.15 for an HPLC system (AOAC, 2000 g). Vitamin C was determined by titration with 2,6- dichloroindophenol, by the microfluorometric method, or by HPLC and UV detection of oxidized ascorbic acid (AOAC, 2000 h; AOAC, 2000 i). Niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin B 12, vitamin E, folic acid, biotin, and pantothenic acid were determined by AOAC and United States Pharmacopoeia methods (AOAC, 2000 j; AOAC, 2000 k; AOAC, 2000 1; AOAC, 2000 m; AOAC, 2000 n; AOAC, 2000 o; AOAC, 2000 p; United States Pharmacopeia, 2005; Scheiner & De Ritter, 1975). Vitamin E was determined by HPLC similar to a previously reported method (Omale and Omajali, 2010), but with direct organic solvent extraction and use of a 2- propanol:H 2 0 (60:20, %:%) mobile phase. Vitamin K was determined according to AOAC method 992.27 (AOAC, 2000 p). Amino acids were determined with an automated amino acid analyzer, following acid hydrolysis, except for tryptophan which involved hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide (AOAC, 2000 q).

The iridoid content, inclusive of deacetylasperulosidic acid (DAA) and asperulosidic acid (AA), was determined by HPLC, according to a previously reported method (Deng et al., 2010 b). Other significant secondary metabolites, such as scopoletin, rutin, and quercetin, were also determined by HPLC (Deng et al., 2010 a).

2.4 Acute toxicity test of iridoids

Twenty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats (10 males, 10 females, body weight

181-205g) were selected for the tests. An iridoid enriched fruit extract was dissolved in water to produce a total iridoid concentration of 8.5 mg/mL. A dose of 340 mg total iridoids kg body weight (bw) was given to each animal by gastric intubation (20 mL kg bw twice per day). For 14 days following the administration of the iridoid solution, animals were observed daily for occurrences of death and symptoms of toxicity, including convulsions, irregular breathing, piloerection, and paralysis. As decreased weight is a typical symptom of toxicity, body weights were recorded for each animal on days 0 and 14. The acute toxicity test was carried out in accordance with EC Directive 86/609 EEC (European Communities, 1986).

2.5 Primary DNA damage test in E. coli PQ37

The SOS-chromotest in E. coli PQ37 was used to determine the potential for DAA and AA to induce primary DNA damage. This test was carried out according to the previously developed method (Fish et al., 1987). DAA and AA were isolated from noni fruits from Tahiti and purified to > 98%. E. coli PQ37 was incubated in LB medium in a 96-well plate at 37 °C in the presence of DAA or AA for 2 hours. The DAA and AA concentrations tested were 7.81 , 15.6, 31.2, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, and 1000 g mL "1 . Samples were evaluated in triplicate. Following incubation with the samples, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-p-D-galactopyranoside was added to the wells to detect β-galactosidase enzyme activity, which is induced during SOS repair of damaged DNA. Nitrophenyl phosphate is also added to the wells to measure alkaline phosphatase activity, an indicator of cell viability. The samples were again incubated and the absorbances of the samples, blanks and controls were measured at 410 and 620 nm with a microplate reader. Vehicle blanks and positive controls, 1.25 μg mL " 1 4-nitroquinoline 1 -oxide (4NQO), were included in this test. The induction factor of each material was calculated by dividing the absorbance of the sample at 620 nm by that of the blank, while also correcting for cell viability. Induction factors less than two indicate an absence of genotoxic activity.

2.6 Anti-genotoxicity test in E. coli PQ37

The primary DNA damage test was performed again, similar to the method described above. However, the method was modified to include incubation of E. coli PQ37 in the presence of both 1.25 μg mL "1 4NQO and 250 μg mL " 1 DAA or AA. Induction factors were calculated in the same manner as described above. The percent reduction in genotoxicity was determined by dividing the difference between the induction factor of 4NQO and the blank (induction factor of 1 ) by the difference between the induction factor of 4NQO plus DAA or AA and the blank.

2.7 Statistical analyses

Means and standard deviations were calculated for each set of analytical results obtained from the different batches. In both the primary DNA damage test and the anti-genotoxicity test, intergroup comparisons were made with Student's t-test. 3. Results and discussion

The nutrient composition of processed noni fruit puree is summarized in Table 4. Proximate nutritional parameters are within the typical ranges for fruits in general. Processed noni fruit puree contains 2 g lOOg "1 dietary fiber. Noni fruit does not contain a significant quantity of protein or fat. However, all but one essential amino acid, tryptophan, as well as histidine, essential for infants, were detected in the puree (Table 5). Aspartic acid was the most predominant amino acid.

Vitamin C is the most prominent vitamin in noni fruit puree, with a mean content of 1.13 mg " 1 g. At this concentration, 100 g of puree provides 251 % of the recommended daily vitamin C requirement for adults (FAO/WHO, 2001 ). Noni fruit puree contains appreciable quantities of β-carotene. As calculated from β-carotene concentration, the mean vitamin A content per 100 g of puree is 318.17 retinol equivalents (RE). The joint FAO/WHO recommendation for average vitamin A daily intake by adults is 270 RE for females and 300 RE for males (FAO/WHO, 1998). As such, noni fruit puree appears to have the potential to be a significant dietary source of vitamin A. The niacin content of processed noni fruit is great enough to have some nutritional impact, but will only be significant when larger quantities are consumed. At 100 g, the puree provides 18 to 21 % of the recommended niacin intake for adults (FAO/WHO, 2001 ). Thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin B 12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, and vitamin K were below detection limits. Processed noni fruit puree contains, but is not a significant soprce of, vitamin E and biotin.

Potassium appears to be the most abundant mineral in processed noni fruit puree. It is more than four times the concentration of calcium, the next most abundant mineral, although neither is present in nutritionally significant quantities. Only two minerals are present in nutritionally significant amounts. In 100 g of noni puree, manganese and selenium contents would meet approximately 18 to 26 % of the recommended daily allowance for adults (Institute of Medicine, 2000; Institute of Medicine, 2001 ).

The phytochemical analyses reveal that iridoids are the major secondary metabolites produced by noni fruit and are present in significant quantities following processing (Table 6). Scopoletin, rutin, and quercetin were also present after processing. The total iridoid content was 20 times greater than the combined concentrations of the other three phytochemical s. Deacetylasperulosidic acid accounted for 78% of the total iridoid content. Due to their prevalence in noni fruit, both iridoids may be used as markers for identification of products containing authentic noni ingredients. Bioactivities of iridoids from noni fruit juice and noni fruit extracts may ionclude antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and hypolipidemic activities.

No deaths or symptoms of toxicity were observed in the acute toxicity test. Animals also gained appropriate weight (Table 7). The LD50 of noni iridoids was determined to be >340 mg/kg bw. In the primary DNA damage test in E. coli PQ37 (Table 8), the mean induction factors for DAA and AA, at 1000 μg mL "1 , were 1.07 and 1 .09, respectively. At all concentrations tested, DAA and AA did not induce any SOS repair at a frequency significantly above that of the blank. Statistically, induction factors were no different than that of the blank, and all results remained well below the two-fold criteria for genotoxicity. SOS-chromotest results have a high level of agreement (86%) with those from the reverse mutation assay (Legault et al., 1994). Therefore, the SOS-chromotest has some utility in predicting potential mutagenicity, in addition to primary DNA damage. The lack of DAA and AA toxicity in these tests are consistent with the results of toxicity tests of noni fruit juice (West et al., 2009 a; West et al., 2009 b; Westendorf et al., 2007).

In the anti-genotoxicity test, 4NQO, exhibited obvious genotoxicity, inducing SOS repair more than 8-fold above that of the vehicle blank. But the induction factors of 4NQO plus DAA or AA, were the same as those of DAA or AA alone (Table 9), with no statistical difference from that of the vehicle blank. The reductions in genotoxicity from 250 μg mL "1 DAA and AA were 98.96 and 99.22 %, respectively. Therefore, the genotoxic activity of 4NQO was almost entirely abolished by the addition of either iridoid.

A double-blind human clinical trial revealed that ingestion of noni fruit juice reduced the amount of aromatic DNA-adduct formation in the lymphocytes of current heavy cigarette smokers. 4NQO exhibits genotoxic activity in E. coli through the formation of 4NQO-guanine and 4NQO-adenine adducts. These DNA lesions lead to the induction of the SOS repair mechanism. As such, the reduction in 4NQO genotoxicity by DAA and AA equates to a reduction in DNA adduct formation. Therefore, the results of the current anti-genotoxicity test suggest the possible involvement of these iridoids in noni juice's DNA protective effects.

4. Conclusion

Processed noni fruit puree is a potential dietary source of vitamin C, vitamin A, niacin, manganese, and selenium. Vitamin C is the major nutrient present, in terms of concentration. The major phytochemicals in the puree are iridoids, especially DAA. The iridoids in noni did not display any toxicity. On the other hand, these iridoids did display potential anti-genotoxic activity. Even though processed noni fruit puree contained an appreciable quantity of vitamin C, the average DAA content was approximately 22 % greater than that of vitamin C. These findings suggest that DAA may play an important role in the biological activities of noni fruit juice that have been observed in vitro, in vivo, and in human clinical trials.

Noni is a medicinal plant with a long history of use as a folk remedy in many tropical areas, and is attracting more attention worldwide. A comprehensive study on the major phytochemicals in different noni plant parts, such as fruit, leaf, seed, root and flower is of great value for fully understanding their diverse medicinal benefits.

Moreover, the diversity of geographic environments may contribute to the variation of

noni's components.

Objective - This study quantitatively determines the major iridoid components in different parts of noni plants, and compares iridoids in noni fruits collected from different tropical areas worldwide. Methodology - The optimal chromatographic conditions were achieved on a Ci 8 column with gradient elution using 0.1 % formic acid aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile at 235 nm. The selective HPLC method was validated for precision, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), and accuracy. Results - Deacetylasperulosidic acid (DAA) was found to be the major iridoid in noni fruit. In order of predominance, DAA concentrations in different parts of the noni plant were dried noni fruit > fruit juice > seed > flower > leaf > root. The order of predominance for asperulosidic acid (AA) concentration was dried noni fruit > leaf > flower > root > fruit juice > seed. DAA and AA contents of methanolic extracts of noni fruits collected from different tropical regions were 13.8 - 42.9 mg/g and 0.7 - 8.9 mg/g, respectively, with French Polynesia containing the highest total iridoids and the Dominican Republic containing the lowest.

Conclusion - Iridoids are found to be present in leaf, root, seed, and flower of noni plants, and were identified as the major components in noni fruit. Given the great variation of iridoid contents in noni fruit grown in different tropical areas worldwide, geographical factors appear to have significant effects on fruit composition. The iridoids in noni fruit were stable at temperatures used during pasteurization and, therefore, may be useful marker compounds for identity and quality testing of commercial noni products. Introduction

Noni Morinda citrifolia Linn.) is a popular medicinal plant indigenous to a wide range of tropical areas, such as southern Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands. This study aims to quantitatively determine the major iridoids in different parts of noni (fruit, leaf, root, seed, and flower), and comparatively analyze the iridoids in different noni fruits cultivated and collected worldwide, by using a validated HPLC-PDA method.

Chemicals and standards

HPLC grade acetonitrile (MeCN), methanol (MeOH), and water (H 2 0) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Analytical grade formic acid was purchased from Spectrum Chemical Mfg. Corp. (New Brunswick, NJ, USA). The chemical standards deacetylasperulosidic acid (DAA) and asperulosidic acid (AA) were isolated from authentic noni fruit in our laboratory. Their identification and purities were determined by HPLC, Mass spectrometry, and NMR to be higher than 99% (data not shown). The chemical structures of DAA and AA are listed in Figure 4. They were accurately weighed and then dissolved in an appropriate volume of MeOH to produce corresponding stock solutions. The working standard solution of DAA and AA for the calibration curve was prepared by diluting the stock solution with MeOH in seven concentration increments ranging from 0.00174- 1.74 and 0.0016-0.80 mg/mL, respectively. All stock and working solutions were maintained at 0 °C in a refrigerator. The calibration curves of the standards were plotted after linear regression of the peak areas versus concentrations.

Conditions and instrumentation

Chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters 2690 separations module coupled with 996 PDA detectors, equipped with an C I 8 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm; 5 μηι, Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). The pump was connected to two mobile phases: A; MeCN, and B; 0.1 % formic acid in H 2 0 (v/v), and eluted at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase was programmed consecutively in linear gradients as follows: 0-5 min, 0% A; and 40 min, 30% A. The PDA detector was monitored in the range of 210-400 nm. The injection volume was 10 μL· for each of the sample solutions. The column temperature was maintained at 25 °C. Data collection and integration were performed using Waters Millennium software revision 32.

Materials and sample preparation

Fresh noni fruit juice (sample A, Figure 5) was squeezed from the noni fruit originally collected from the French Polynesia (Tahitian islands). One gram of the fresh fruit juice was diluted with 5 mL of H 2 0-MeOH (1 : 1), and mixed thoroughly; the solution was collected into a 5 mL volumetric flask for HPLC analysis. Dried fruit, seed, root, leaf, and flower (samples B-F, Figure 5) were collected from the Tahitian islands. These were grounded into powder, and extracted with MeOH-EtOH ( 1 : 1 ) twice with a sonicator for 30 min each time. The extracts were combined, filtered and then dried in a rotary evaporator under vacuum at 50 °C. The dried extracts were re-dissolved with MeOH for HPLC analysis.

The raw noni fruit samples (Figure 6) were collected from different areas, including the Tahitian islands, Tonga, Dominican Republic, Okinawa, Thailand, and Hawaii. The fruit samples were stored below 0°C before use. The fruits were thawed and mashed. Two g of each mashed fruit was extracted twice with MeOH (125 mL, 30 min each) using a sonicator. The MeOH extract was dried under vacuum in a rotary evaporator. The dried MeOH extracts were re-dissolved with 10 mL of MeOH. Voucher specimens of noni samples are deposited in our lab.

Analytical method validation

The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were defined as the lowest concentrations of analytes in a sample that can be detected and quantified. These LOD and LOQ limits were determined on the basis of signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) of 3: 1 and 10: 1 , respectively. The working solutions DAA and AA standards, for LOD and LOQ determinations, were prepared by serial dilution. The intra- and inter-day precision assays, as well as stability tests were performed by following the method applied to the sample analysis for 3 consecutive days. Repeatability is the degree of agreement between results, when experimental conditions are maintained as constant as possible, and is expressed as the relative standard deviation (RSD) of replicates.

In the study, intra- and inter-day precisions of the HPLC method were measured by triplicate injections of samples on 3 consecutive days. Accuracy of the method (recovery) was assessed by the recovery percentage of DAA and AA in the spiked samples. The noni fruit juices were spiked with standards at three different concentrations (equivalent to 50%, 100% and 150% concentration of DAA and AA in the samples). The recovery percentage was calculated using the ratio of concentration detected (actual) to those spiked (theoretical). Variation was evaluated by the relative standard deviation (RSD) of triplicate injections in the HPLC experiments.

Analytical method validation

The validation of the developed HPLC chromatographic method was conducted on the fresh noni juice to determine LOD, LOQ, linearity, intra-day and inter-day precisions, and accuracy (Tables 10- 13). The selected MeCN-H 2 0 gradient exhibited a good separation and symmetrical peak shapes of target analytes in the HPLC chromatograms. The LODs (S/N=3) and LOQs (S/N= 10) for DAA and A A are 10.6 and 9.7 ng, and 34.8 and 32.0 ng, respectively. The linear regression equations for DAA and AA were calculated as: y = 1.443 x 10 7 - 17342.2 and y = 1.537 x 10 7 - 40804.7, respectively, where x is the concentration and y is the peak area. The results showed good linearity with correlation coefficients of 0.9994 and 0.9999 for DAA and AA, within the range of concentrations investigated. The intra- and inter-day precisions, as RSD' s, of DAA and AA were less than 0.86% and 3.0%, respectively, indicating that DAA and AA were stable during investigation period. Under the established experimental conditions, percent recoveries of analytes DAA and AA were from 90.49% to 105.32%, with RSD ranging from 0.40-2.66 % (Table 12). The results of the experiments are within tolerance ranges recommended in the guideline for dietary supplement issued by the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC International, 2002). The characterization of iridoids DAA and AA in noni samples were conducted by comparing their HPLC retention times and UV maximum absorptions with these of standards (Table 10).

Characterization and quantitation of DAA and AA in noni different plant parts

Iridoids have been identified in noni fruit, leaf, and root previously. In our preliminary experiments, DAA and AA appear to be the major iridoids in most parts of the noni plant. As such, these two iridoids were employed for the quantitation and comparison of iridoid contents in different noni parts. The typical HPLC chromatograms of noni fruit, leaf, root, seed, and flower are shown in Figure 5. The experimental results (Table 13) indicated that the DAA content in various parts of the plant are, in order of predominance, dried noni fruit > fruit juice > seed > flower > leaf > roots. For AA contents, the rank is dried noni fruit > leaf > flower > root > fruit juice > seed. Among the different plant parts, noni fruit (juice) seems a good source of iridoids. Iidoids, specifically deacetylasperulosidic acid and asperulosidic acid are the major secondary metabolites in noni fruit. As such, these may be responsible for its diverse health effects. For example, DAA and A A may have many biological activities, including anticlastogenic, antiarthritic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, cancer-preventive, and anti-tumor effects. Toxicity tests suggested DAA and AA are non-genotoxic in mammalian cells.

Comparison of iridoid contents in noni fruits from different areas

To evaluate the impact of geographical environments (soil, sunlight, temperature, precipitation, etc.) on the iridoid contents in noni fruit, analyses were performed on noni fruits cultivated and collected from different tropical regions worldwide. Ripe noni fruit samples were kept frozen during shipment. Further, MeOH extracts were analyzed to control for moisture variations. Figure 6 shows a comparison of DAA, AA, and total iridoids (DAA + AA) in different noni fruits. The concentration ranges of DAA and AA in the MeOH extracts were 13.8 - 42.9 mg/g and 0.7 - 8.9 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, noni fruit collected from French Polynesia had the highest amount of the total iridoids, and noni fruit from the Dominican Republic contained the least. The results showed that geographical factors have significant effects on the iridoid contents in noni fruits. As such, different pharmacological activities may be expected to noni fruits collected from various areas.

The impact of pasteurization on DAA content

Noni fruit juice is usually subjected to heat pasteurization during commercial processing. Pasteurization is usually employed in noni industry, i.e., heating up to 87.7 for several seconds. In this study, the stability of DAA was conducted. DAA was exposed to 90 °C at pH 3.3 for one minute to determine its thermal stability at acidic conditions. The results indicated that there was no difference in the DAA contents before and after heating, indicating that DAA is stable under the pasteurization conditions.

Conclusions

A selective analytical HPLC method has been developed and validated for analysis of iridoids in noni. Iridoids, specifically deacetylasperulosidic acid and asperulosidic acid, are identified as the major components in noni fruit, and also present in leaf, root, seed, and flower of the noni plant. Geographical factors seem to influence iridoid content of the fruit. Noni iridoids are stable during pasteurization. Therefore, the method reported herein may provide an accurate and rapid tool in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of noni and its commercial products.
