In this work we present the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectra of Aloe maculata ( A.maculata )(“ maculata” = with spots ) gel after elimination aloin fraction. The analyzed samples were harvested from two zones different heights in northern Argentina. From FTIR measurements it was possible to identify presence pectin gel, where an analysis degree esterification done on basis ch...

The encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and structural changes within the Anthraquinones-encapsulated casein micelles (CM) powders were evaluated in this study. For purpose, anthraquinone powder extracted from Aloevera, its freeze-dried (FDP) whole leaf Aloe vera gel (WLAG) has been encapsulated CM through ultrasonication prior to spray dying produce nanocapsules: (CMAQP), (CMFDP) Whole aloe (CMWLAG...

Skin aging involves degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in both the epidermal and dermal layers, it leaves visible signs on the surface of skin and the physical properties of the skin are modified. Chronological aging is due to passage of time, whereas premature aging occurred due to some environmental factors on skin produces visible signs such as irregular dryness, dark/light pigmentati...

Edible coatings (EC) with mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica or Aloe arborescens are promising to extend the shelf life fresh-cut fruit products by reducing weight loss and microbial spoilage. In this work, kiwifruits (cv. Hayward) were coated in solutions extracted from (MC) A. (AL). We used three alternative treatments AL MC, MC+AL, distilled water as control, stored passive atmosphere at 5 °C ...

The ripe fruit pulp of Cassia fistula Linn. (Fabaceace), which is locally called Khun or Ratchaphruek in Thailand, has long been used as a traditional laxative drug due to its anthraquinone glycosides constituent. Rhein is the major anthraquinone in the fruit pulp while minor constituents are aloin and sennosides. The aims of this study were to develop and validate a high performance liquid chr...

The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a preclinical model widely used for vascular and anti-vascular effects of therapeutic agents in vivo. In this study, we examine the suitability of CAM as a predictive model for acute toxicology studies of drugs by comparing it to conventional mouse and rat models for 10 FDA-approved anticancer drugs (paclitaxel, carmustine, camptothecin, cyclop...
