Abstract

Morinda citrifolia, locally named Mengkudu, Pace, Tibah etc. originated in Indonesia, has been utilized as traditional medicine for thousands years, and its 100% squeezed fruit juice is now most popular and consumed as alternative and functional beverage in Japan.

From our analyses of active ingredients such as scopoletin and medium chain fatty acids, we can conclude that matured yellowish fruits are the best for juice production rather than immature small and green fruits, or over ripened fruits.
