Four new alkaloids, nonialkaloids A-D (1-4) and six known analogues (5-10) were isolated from the noni juice. Among the new compounds, 1 and 2 are indole alkaloids with a seven-membered fused N-heterocyclic ring, 3 and 4 are quaternary ammonium derivatives. The structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS analysis, while the absolute configurations of the stereogenic carbons were established based on quantum-chemical electronic circular dichroism calculations or the modified Mosher's method. All the isolates were tested for α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Compounds 1 and 3 displayed potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase with the IC values of 413.7 and 364.4 μM, respectively.

Peroxidase-mediated enzymatic browning during the process of noni fruit juice causes major color deterioration and precipitation, which negatively affects consumer acceptance of the juice. The purpose of this study was to understand the browning and precipitate formation mechanisms in noni fruit juice and improve its quality. Peroxidase was isolated from noni fruit via gel separation purification and characterized for its kinetic properties.

Article Synopsis
- Cyclophosphamide (CYL) is a commonly used cancer chemotherapy drug that can lead to severe memory impairment due to its toxic effects from free radical generation.
- A study explored the protective effects of noni fruit juice (NJ), known for its antioxidant properties, against memory issues caused by CYL in Swiss albino mice.
- Results showed that while CYL treatment caused short-term memory impairment, combining NJ with CYL significantly improved memory and biochemical markers associated with oxidative stress and neuroprotection in the mice.

Spray drying fruit juice powders poses challenges because sugars and organic acids with low molecular weight and a low glass transition temperature inherently cause stickiness. This study employed a hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film to mimic the surface of the drying chamber wall. The Central Composite Design (CCD) using response surface methodology investigated the impact of power (X1, Watt) and the duration of oxygenated plasma treatment (X2, minutes) on substrate contact angle (°), reflecting surface hydrophobicity.

Article Synopsis
- Morinda citrifolia (noni) juice demonstrates potential antioxidant properties and may help prevent cancer by blocking carcinogen-DNA adduct formation.
- The study tested both in vitro (breast cancer cells) and in vivo (mice) to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of noni and its interaction with the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide (CYL).
- Results showed that noni improves the cytotoxic effects of CYL, enhances overall tumor inhibition, and alleviates adverse effects on blood parameters and biochemical markers associated with CYL treatment.
