Popis: Morinda citrifolia L., commonly known as noni or ‘Ahu’ in Sri Lanka, has traditionally been used for medicinal and black magic practices. However, noni also has therapeutic benefits and is used in various products like fresh juice, nutraceuticals, wine, powder, and puree. This study aimed to compare the bioactive compounds and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic potential of dried noni fruit and seeds using spectroscopic methods. Noni seeds exhibit significant antioxidant properties like dried noni fruit. They also possess antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory potential, making them valuable for food production, suggesting their utilization alongside noni-fruit-based products in Sri Lanka.
