Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Aloe vera is a perennial draught resistant plant containing more amount of gel in fluctuating amount to different season. Aloe plant is containing a variety of mineral elements and calcium, iron, and zinc. Aloe gel also contains polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, sugars, minerals, phenolic compounds, glucomannan and acemannan. Its composition accelerates wound healing, activating macrophages, stimulating immune system as well antibacterial and antiviral effects. Acemannan is effect as indirect anti-microbial activity through its ability and stimulate phagocytic leukocytes. Such types, it has more antimicrobial value like medicines. The aim of this study are evaluating antimicrobial activity of aloe vera gel such as antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity to which solve human problems in life. Aloe vera (A. barbadensis Miller L.) is most biologically active among 400 species [1-4]. The genus Aloe belonging to family Alliaceae is a succulent plant of 80-100cm in height which matures in 4-6 years and survives for nearly 50 years under favorable conditions. The plant is native to southern and eastern Africa along the upper Nile in the Sudan, and it was subsequently introduced into northern Africa and naturalized in the Mediterranean region and other countries across the globe. Aloe is commercially cultivated in Aruba, Bonaire, Haiti, India, South Africa, the United States of America, and Venezuela [1] while the finest quality of Aloe is grown in desert of Southern California.
