The study entitled "Extraction of Essential Oil from Noni Fruit (Morinda citrifolia Linn.)" was conducted at the Physical Sciences Department in Cavite State University and at 263 San Miguel St., Indang, Cavite from October 2000 to February 2001. This study was conducted for the following reasons: (1) extract essential oil from noni fruit; (2) determine how much oil can be extracted from noni fruit; and (3) identify its physical and chemical properties.
The findings of the study revealed that oil can be extracted from noni fruit. The percentage yield was 0.36 percent. The oil was light brown in color and its odor was unpleasant. It was very soluble in ether, slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol, and insoluble in water, benzene, and chloroform. The physical and chemical properties of the oil were the following: refractive index 1.473; specific gravity = 0.82; acid value — 8.26; saponification value = 58.06; and the ester value 49.80.
