Anti-bacterial substances

Acubin, L. asperuloside, alizarin and some substances antraquinon been proven as an anti-bacterial substances. Substances contained in the Noni fruit has been proven to show strength against bacterial infection group: Pseudonzonas aeruginosa, Proteus morganii, Staphylo ¬ coccus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli.

Tests later showed that the activities of anti-bacterial substance in Noni fruit can control two groups of deadly bacteria (pathogens), namely: Salmonella and Shigella. The discovery of anti-bacterial substances in Noni juice supports its usefulness for treating diseases of skin infections, colds, fevers and a variety of health problems caused by bacteria.

Some type of acid

Ascorbic acid that is in the Noni fruit is the source of vitamin C are remarkable. Vitamin C is one of the great antioxidant. Beneficial antioxidants to neutralize free radicals (harmful particles formed as a by product of metabolism that can damage genetic material and damage the immune system). Kaproat acid, caprylic acid and acid kaprik including fatty acid groups. Kaprik kaproat acid and acid is what causes the sharp stench on Noni fruit.

Complete nutrition

Overall Noni is a food that is nutritionally complete. Nutrients the body needs such as: carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and essential minerals are also available in the Noni fruit and leaves. Selenium is one example of the many minerals contained in Noni and is a great antioxidant.

Scopoletin

In 1993, University of Hawaii researchers managed to separate the substance scopoletin from the Noni fruit. Scopoletin these substances have medicinal properties and in addition the experts believe that scopoletin is one of the substances contained in Noni fruit that can bind to serotonin, one of the important chemical substances in the human body.
Scopoletin serves to widen the blood vessels that are narrowed and blood circulation. In addition scopoletin have also been shown to kill certain types of bacteria, are fungicides against Pythium sp and is also anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic.

Anti-cancer substance (damnacanthal)
Some of the latest research on Noni conducted to determine the content of substances anti ¬ cancer (damnacanthal). Four Japanese scientists discovered an anti-cancer substance in Noni extract when they are looking for substances that can stimulate the growth of the normal structure of cell-cell ¬ abnormal K-ras-NRK (pre-cancerous cells) on 500 types of plant extracts. Apparently anti-cancer substance in Noni most effective against abnormal cells.

Xeronine and proxeronine

One of the important alkaloids found in Noni fruit is xeronine. Xeronine also produced by the human body in a limited number that serves to activate enzymes and regulate the function of proteins within the cell.

Xeronine was first discovered by Dr. Ralph Heinicke (biochemist). Although Noni fruit contains very little xeronine, but contain ¬-forming material (precursor) xeronine, namely proxeronine in large numbers.

Proxeronine is a type of colloid acid that contains no sugars, amino acids or nucleic acids such as colloid-colloid others with relatively large molecular weight, more than 16,000. When we consume xeronine proxeronine the levels in the body will increase. In the human body (intestinal) proxeronase enzymes and other substances will change proxeronine into xeronine. Xeronine main function is to regulate the shape and rigidity (hardness) specific proteins contained in the cell. It is important to remember when these proteins to function abnormally then our body will experience health problems

substance Dyes
Noni plant root bark contains a dye (red), named morindon and Morindin.
