Rakesh Mehta, Saroj Mawase, Zea Ul Hasan

Abstract :

Aloe vera is a stemless or very short–stemmed succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 inch), spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey–green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces like other Aloe species. Aloe vera forms a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil with applied of farm yard manure. Antioxidants are the substances in Aloe vera which can prevent or slow oxidative damage to cells. These agents are able to remove the deleterious effects of free radicals within cells. Solvent extraction methods are widely used for extracting antioxidants in food and other sources.
