Atiku Maryam Lawal, Abdullahi Abdulqadir, Halima Salisu.


Abstract
The study identified phytoconstituents, evaluated the antioxidants and wound healing activity of Morinda citrifolia (Noni) juice. The tested juice contains alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, reducing sugar, flavonoids, anthraquinones, terpenoids, steroids, and phenols. The juice demonstrated antioxidant activity of about 47.09% measured via its ability to scavenge free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH). Thus, it was recommended that effort should be made to conserve and make this plant available in Zaria, Nigeria to take advantage of its inherent potential for medical applications.

Key words: phytochemicals, Morinda citrifoli, antioxidant activity, DPPH,
