Abstract: The distribution of main nutritional and functional components and nutritional value of Morinda citrifolia fruit and leaves were analyzed in the study,helping develop Morinda citrifolia food. The results showed that Morinda citrifolia fruit and leaves have higher nutritional value. The protein,fat,water content,essential amino acids and trace elements contents in the leaves are significantly higher than in the fruits (p<0.05),while VC and reducing sugar contents are significantly lower those that of the fruit (p<0.05). Both the fruit and the leaves have rich trace elements,and their contents are higher in the leaves. In the same variety,the main nutrional and functional components are different in different parts. The nutritional and functional value of Morinda citrifolia fruit and leaves showed that they have promising development prospect.
