A Chemical Investigation of Aloe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free amino acids, free monosaccharides and total saccharides released upon hydrolysis, sterols, and triterpenoids of the leaves of Aloe barbadensis Miller leaves were determined. Some seventeen amino acids, D-glucose, and D-mannose were present in the water-soluble fraction. Cholesterol, campesterol, β-sitosterol, and lupeol were found in substantial amounts in the lipid fraction. An unknown(s) alkaloid was detected using Dragendorff's reagent.
