Relationship Between Growth Parameters and Aloin Content in Aloe Vera

Dr. G. Alagukannan, Dr. S. Ganesh

Abstract :

Aloin is a biologically active molecule synthesized in small sheath cells surrounding the vascular bundles and stored in large paranchymatous cells of Aloe vera leaves which has the laxative and purgative properties. The relationship among growth parameters like leaf length, leaf width and latex colour with aloin content was established in twenty one Aloe vera accessions. The accessions with own and red colour latex showed the highest aloin content irrespective of its leaf length and width. However, the highest aloin yield per leaf was obtained from the accession named AV17 in which the leaf length and width was the highest and inturn they could posses more number of small sheath cells surrounding the vascular bundles where aloin is synthesized.
