234 Abstract— The growth and health status of plants can be accessed from the electrical properties of its limbs such as leaves and stem. Present investigations were carried out to study the electrical impedance of Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe-vera) leaves for investigating the effect of external ac current on its tissues Impedance was estimated over the frequency ranging from 500 Hz to 20 kHz...

Medicinal plants such as Aloe arborescens Miller and Aloe barbadensis Miller are used by the general population to treat various diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimutagenicity of these two species using a methG1 system in Aspergillus nidulans and the comet assay in rats. The animals were treated with the plants at concentrations of 360 and 720 mg/kg body weight ...

Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) has a Crassulaceae acid metabolism which grants the plant great tolerance to water restrictions. Carbohydrates such as acemannans and fructans are among the molecules responsible for tolerating water deficit in other plant species. Nevertheless, fructans, which are prebiotic compounds, have not been described nor studied in Aloe vera, whose leaf gel is known ...

The polysaccharide and flavonoid concentrations of two-, three-, and four-year-old Aloe vera were determined, and their antioxidant activities were evaluated compared to BHT and alpha-tocopherol by the DPPH radical scavenging method and the linoleic acid system at 100 microg of soluble solids per mL of ethanol. The results showed that three-year-old Aloe vera contained significantly higher leve...

The synthesis of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) using plant extracts as additives has been developed to modify the morphology, particle size, chemical purity, and stability PCC be used for a variety potential applications. In this study, aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) was an additive PCC. carried out tubular column reactor under temperatures 30, 50 100℃ performed without with extract...

This study reports on the induction of oxidative stress in aerobic cell systems by Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) juice using the salt water crustacean Artemia franciscana as a model. A consistent pattern was observed in which Artemia franciscana nauplii responded to Aloe vera juice exposure with a decrease in the overall activity of redox related enzymes. Exposure of Artemia franciscana t...
