Research on the production of noni (<i>Morinda citrifolia</i> L) fruit powder and application of noni fruit powder to make syrup

Noni syrup has became a popular product in the health and beauty industry thanks to its numerous potential benefits. First, noni syrup contains high levels of antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals in the body, thereby preventing aging and protecting cells from damage. The study tested different ratios of dissolving the Noni fruit powder in water (1:99, 2:98, 3:97, 4:96 g/mL). Noni fruit extract was mixed with different sugar concentrations (50, 55, 60° Brix) and citric acid levels 0.3, 0.35, 0.4% (w/v). Additionally, Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) was added at concentrations of 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2% (w/v). The results indicated that the best ratio for producing noni syrup was 3 g of Noni powder dissolved in 97 mL of water. For optimal sensory value, a sugar concentration of 55%, citric acid concentration of  0.35%, and CMC concentration of 0.15% were recommended. Overall, the study concluded that the noni syrup had an appealing sweet and tangy flavor, as well as an attractive color.
