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...

For the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) herbal monograph draft of Cassia angustifolia Vahl. and Cassia senna L. leaves and pods, a safety limitation of aloe-emodin and rhein was proposed, due to toxicological concerns. A quantitative, analytical method of the anthraquinone aglycones in all Ph. Eur. monographed herbal laxatives is of interest. A rational method development for the aglycones al...

The objective of the study was to develop buccal adhesive tablets of Simvastatin using mucoadhesive polymers. Simvastatin has short biological half-life (3hr), high first-pass metabolism and poor oral bioavailability (5%), hence an ideal candidate for buccal delivery system. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique using xanthan gum, guar gum, chitosan and aloe gum. Aloe gum wa...

The toxicity profile of the methanol extract of the Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) gel was studied in Wistar rats. A multiple oral administration of the extract at single dose of 4, 8, 16g/kg body weights for 14 days did not produce signs of toxicity, behavioral appearances, changes on gross appearance. The sub-acute toxicity was determined by administration of graded doses (1, 2, 4, 8 and 16g/kg...

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 ...

Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) is an herbal remedy promoted to treat a variety of illnesses; however, only limited data are available on the safety of this dietary supplement. Drinking water exposure of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice to an Aloe vera whole-leaf extract (1, 2, and 3%) for 13 weeks resulted in goblet cell hyperplasia of the large intestine in both species. Based upon this observ...

A selected group of 14 medicinal plants was screened for antiproliferative activity against two human leukaemia cell lines Jurkat T and Wil 2 in vitro. The Trypan Blue assay was used to assess antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity. The five most potent medicinal plants showed the following order of potency against Wil 2 cell line: Parinari curatellifolia > Aloe barbadensis > Croton gratissim...

in this research the effect of conventional and ohmic pasteurization and storage time at different temperatures on some bioactive components of aloe vera gel juice was investigated. aloe vera gel juice was pasteurized conventionally and ohmically at 90 ºc for 1 min. the effect of pasteurization on vitamin c, total phenolic content  and juice color was evaluated. the samples pasteurized conventi...
