Aloe vera plants also known as Aloe Vera are an agricultural commodity that has the potential to be developed, ranging from foodstuffs, shampoo, soap, or hand sanitizers. The Lestari Women's Farmer Group (KWT) is one of the groups that developed aloe vera, but in general, it is still sold raw. Seeing its development potential, this service activity aimed to improve the welfare of KWT members through the development of processed aloe vera products in the form of soap. The methods used are counseling, training, and mentoring. This activity runs smoothly and can produce a soap with the brand "Lesta", both liquid and solid. The enthusiasm of KWT members and administrators is the benchmark for the success of this service activity. The follow-up plan is to market this soap product widely which can be started from the network owned by the group. As well as the medium term with content testing and product permits.

Evaluation of Acemannan in Different Commercial Beverages Containing Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) Gel.

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) gel is a frequently used ingredient in many food pro-ducts, particularly beverages, due to its reported health benefits. Studies have identified acemannan, a polysaccharide rich in mannose units which are partially or fully acetylated, as the primary bioactive compound in Aloe vera gel. The acemannan content and its degree of acetylation (DA) were measured in 15 different commercial beverages containing Aloe vera at varying concentrations (from 30% to 99.8%) as listed on the label. Other biopolymers such as pectins, hemicelluloses, and cellulose were also evaluated. Flavoured beverages (seven samples labelled as containing from 30% to 77% Aloe vera) presented low levels of acemannan (<30 mg/100 g of fresh sample) and were fully deacetylated in most cases. These samples had high levels of other polymers such as pectins, hemicelluloses, and cellulose, likely due to the addition of fruit juices for flavour. Unflavoured beverages (eight samples, with Aloe vera concentrations above 99% according to their labels) had variable levels of acemannan, with only three containing more than 160 mg/100 g of fresh sample. In fact, four samples had less than 35 mg acemannan/100 g of fresh sample. DA levels in all but one sample were lower than 35%, possibly due to processing techniques such as pasteurization causing degradation and deacetylation of the acemannan polymer. Legislation regarding Aloe vera products is limited, and manufacturers are not required to disclose the presence or quality of bioactive compounds in their products, leaving consumers uncertain about the true properties of the products they purchase.

Assessment of cost and effect of integrated application of granular nutrient-rich poultry organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizers on biomass yield of Aloe barbadensis in agro-climatic zone of Kabul, Afghanistan

Integrated application of organic and inorganic fertilizers needs a specific formulation to enhance plant performance and reduce fertilization costs. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the cost and effects of inorganic or organic fertilizers and their integrated forms, while containing the same levels of major nutrients, on Aloe barbadensis performance under the agro-climatic conditions of Afghanistan. The treatments were: control; 200 kg ha−1 N, P2O5, and K2O each, in the form of inorganic fertilizer (IF-200); 200 kg ha−1 N, P2O5, and K2O each, in the form of nutrient-rich organic fertilizer (NrOF-200); 200 kg ha−1 N, P2O5, and K2O each, in the form of 50% IF and 50% NrOF (IF + NrOF-200); 400 kg ha−1 N, P2O5 and K2O each, in the form of 50% IF and 50% NrOF (IF + NrOF-400); and 400 kg ha−1 N, P2O5 and K2O each, in the form of IF (IF-400). The results revealed that the IF + NrOF-200 treatment led to significantly increased fresh and dry biomass yields compared to the control. The yield was also greater when the same levels of major nutrients were applied in the combined organic and inorganic forms (IF + NrOF-200) than when applied in the inorganic (IF-200) or organic (NrOF-200) forms alone. This study also reveals that, despite doubling the major nutrient levels in the IF + NrOF-400 and IF-400 treatments, the IF + NrOF-200 treatment with half the nutrient amount showed a similar result, indicating its cost effectiveness in Aloe vera production in Afghanistan.

Determination of heavy metals from Aloe vera by- product in golden mullet (Liza aurata); A consumer health risk assessment.

Heavy metals have become subject of concern in the recent years because of its potency to cause cardiovascular diseases and other toxic health effects. Therefore, this research was assumed to investigate the level of toxicity in terms of heavy metals accumulation in the fish samples and its benefits and risk for human consumers health and also evaluate the partial replacement of plant sources by canarian Aloe vera diets as a pure product or like a by-product on toxicological effects on the golden mullet (Liza aurata) fillet and whole body. In this study risks arising from fish metal content has been measured using various parameters as Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Maximum Safe Consumption (MSCA), Target Hazard quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI) Carcinogenic risk of As (As- CR), the Value Selenium Health Benefit (Se HBV) and also the Nutritional Values has been evaluated. The results showed that all heavy metal levels in the fish tissue and diets were below the confirmed safe limits for consumption. In case of diets, it is obvious that with the exception of As, Hg, and Se, the presence of heavy or essential metals in both whole fish and raw fillet in golden grey mullet given experimental diets revealed that the whole fish had the highest concentration. Thus, it can be concluded that Aloe vera product and byproduct were in safety limits for fish and also for humans through food chain. Various risk and benefit assessment measures established by national and international authorities concluded that Liza aurata use was mostly safe.

S3333 Aloe Vera: A Boon or Bane

Introduction: Aloe Vera is derived from a cactus-like plant, a member of the Lily family that grows best in arid climates. Aloe Vera products are derived from the leaf and contain over 75 identified substances including anthraquinones, vitamins (A, C, E), enzymes, minerals, sugars, fatty acids, amino acids, salicylic acid and hormones. Aloe has been widely used in phytomedicine and is described as a herb which has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, anti-aging effects. Case Description/Methods: 54-year-old male with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Gilbert's syndrome, came to ER with RUQ abdominal pain. He used to drink 4-5 glasses of wine everyday and quit 3 months ago. Also reported dark urine and a 4 pound weight loss over a month. He has been taking Aloe Vera supplements for gut motility for 4 months. Had scleral icterus and hepatosplenomegaly on exam. Labs showed elevated total bilirubin of 8.1 with direct hyperbilirubinemia(5.3) , ALP of 163, ALT 2790, AST 1892. Work up ruled out acetaminophen toxicity, viral and autoimmune hepatitis. Abdominal US showed hepatic cyst and small amount of sludge in the gallbladder without biliary ductal dilation. Liver biopsy showed an acute hepatitis pattern of injury with no fibrosis/cirrhosis. Aloe Vera supplements were discontinued and LFTs started trending down and repeat values after 10 days showed total bilirubin of 3.4, ALP 133, ALT 1308, AST 506. LFTs have almost normalized after 1 month. Discussion: Cases of Aloe Vera-induced hepatotoxicity have been reported since 2005 but its pharmacokinetics and toxicity are poorly described in literature. It has been reported in multiple countries with the most in Switzerland. Injury typically arises between 3 and 24 weeks after starting oral Aloe Vera. Typical pattern of injury is hepatocellular and the clinical course resembles acute viral hepatitis. Injury is rarely severe and fatal cases have not been reported. Most cases of hepatotoxicity from Aloe Vera have been self-limiting upon discontinuing it. Few cases have been severe or prolonged, but no instances leading to liver transplantation, chronic hepatitis, or vanishing bile duct syndrome. Rechallenge has led to recurrence of injury in at least one published case report and should be avoided. Our case was one of the examples of rare cases of acute toxin induced liver injury secondary to herbal products. Though Aloe Vera has its benefits, patients should be discouraged from using OTC supplements containing this product as the data on the safety is scarce.

ALOE VERA BECOMES A FAMILY BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Aloe vera is a plant that has long been known to the public, but it is still a wild plant that is not cultivated properly. The development of science and technology changes the image of aloe vera into a plant that has many benefits, and becomes a business opportunity. This motivated the community service team from the Faculty of Agriculture, Wijaya Kusuma University, Surabaya to provide assistance to economically non-productive mothers to take advantage of this business opportunity. The team's optimism is supported by the local potential of the aloe vera plant, as well as encouragement from village government agencies and the community. It was carried out in Wonoanti Village, Gandusari District, Trenggalek Regency by using the PRRA (Participatory Rapid Rural Appraissal) and RRA (Rapid and Rural Appraissal) methods. Through this activity, the target is equipped with practical business management and marketing knowledge, entrepreneurial motivation, as well as practical activities and assistance for cultivation, processing of aloe vera products, so that the target is to master cultivation techniques and appropriate technology (TTG) processing aloe vera products into processed products that are developed. as a profitable and sustainable entrepreneurial activity

Dry but Not Humid Thermal Processing of Aloe vera Gel Promotes Cytotoxicity on Human Intestinal Cells HT-29.

Aloe vera products, both in food and cosmetics, are becoming increasingly popular due to their claimed beneficial effects, which are mainly attributed to the active compound acemannan. Usually, these end products are based on powdered starting materials. High temperatures during the drying process to obtain the starting materials have several advantages, like shortening the drying time, eliminating toxic aloin and reducing bacterial contamination. Nevertheless, there are two major drawbacks: first, at temperatures of 80 °C or higher, structural changes in acemannan, especially its deacetylation (>46%), are triggered, which does not happen at lower temperatures (14% at 60 °C); secondly, a toxic principle is formed at higher temperatures, resulting in a higher cytotoxicity. Thus, two temperature-dependent but opposing effects cause with a median cytotoxic concentration of CC50 = 0.4× a peak of cytotoxicity at 80 °C; at 60 °C this cytotoxic substance is not formed and at 100 °C aloin is more readily eliminated, resulting in a CC50 = 1.1× and CC50 = 1.4×, respectively. The cytotoxic substance generated by dry heat at 80 °C is not a modified polysaccharide because its polysaccharide-enriched alcohol-insoluble fraction is with CC50 = 0.9× less cytotoxic. Moreover, this substance is polar enough to be washed away with ethanol. Additionally, when Aloe gel is heated at 80 °C under humid conditions (pasteurization), the cytotoxicity does not increase (CC50 = 1.6×). Finally, to produce powdered starting materials from Aloe gel, it is recommended to use temperatures of around 60 °C in order to preserve the acemannan structure (and thus biological activity) and the low cytotoxicity.

METABOLIC SYNDROME &amp; ITS DIETARY MANAGEMENT; A REVIEW

Metabolic Syndrome or MetS is a multifactorial disease consisting of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. It’s common in 25% of the general population in the Northern US and Western Europe. In Pakistan, the statistics of MetS are unknown, however, it is expected to be twice that of the US. The middle age group and the geriatrics population have the highest number of MetS cases with risk factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol, inadequate, inadequate sleep, and a non-vegetarian diet. The complications of MetS include obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular events. A Meditteranean diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and olive oil as the source of fat is considered to be the only effective dietary management in MetS. Moreover, a high lean protein, low and complex carbohydrate and moderate unsaturated fats have also shown positive progress in MetS, especially with long-term weight reduction. Micronutrients requirements also increase in MetS. Fulfilling these increased requirements has been shown to regulate and improve the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin C and E, flavonoids, vitamin D, conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals such as magnesium and chromium, α-lipoic acid, phytoestrogens, and dietary fiber all have been studied to support the treatment of MetS along with aloe vera and other herbal products, yoga and aerobic exercises.

Safety evaluation of Aloe vera soft capsule in acute, subacute toxicity and genotoxicity study.

Aloe vera has been widely used in health and nutritional supplements in Chinese herbal medicine. Furthermore, Aloe vera production has been an emerging industry for making cosmetics and functional food. However, the reported adverse effects raised questions as to whether Aloe vera and its products were safe enough to be used in medicine and health care. In view of this, the safety evaluation of Aloe vera products before marketing is very important. The present study aimed to assess the toxicological profile of Aloe vera soft capsule (ASC), through acute, subacute toxicity and genotoxicity tests. Male and female ICR mice were received by oral gavage 15000 mg/kg bodyweight of ASC in the acute toxicity test. Male and female SD rats were fed on diet blended with different doses of ASC (equivalent to 832.5, 1665 and 3330 mg/kg bodyweight of ASC) for the subacute toxicity test. In the acute toxicity study, no mortality or behavioral changes were observed, indicating the LD50 was higher than 15000 mg/kg bodyweight. In the subacute toxicity test, no significant changes were observed in bodyweight, food consumption, hematological, biochemical or histopathological parameters in the rats exposed. These data suggested that ASC used in this study did not produce any marked subacute toxic effects up to a maximum concentration of 3330 mg/kg bodyweight. In the genotoxicity study, ASC showed no mutagenic activity in the Ames test and no evidence of potential to induce bone marrow micronucleus or testicular chromosome aberrations in ICR mice exposed to 10000 mg/kg bodyweight. Collectively, ASC could be considered safe before it was marketed as a laxative and moistening health food.

Effect of Aloe vera as a local drug delivery agent in the management of periodontal diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background:Aim of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of Aloe vera in various forms such as gel, mouthwash, and dentifrice on gingival and plaque index (PI) in comparison to various allopathic products such as chlorhexidine, metformin, chlorine dioxide, fluoridated toothpaste, and alendronate.Materials and Methods:A comprehensive electronic search was conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, and HAND SEARCH of reference list of archived articles published till January 2020. Randomized controlled trials were searched comparing the Aloe vera product with other products which used PI and gingival index (GI) to evaluate the outcomes. Finally, nine studies assessing PI and four studies evaluating GI were considered for the meta-analysis. After extracting the information, a risk of bias was estimated. The standardized mean differences (SMDs) and fixed and random effect models were obtained from the mean treatment differences.Results:The estimates of SMD of PI from fixed effects (SMD = 0.271, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.00134–0.407, P < 0.001) and random effects (SMD = 0.288, 95% CI = 0.048–0.529, P = 0.019) were found slightly different, the models showed consistent results yielding positive and significant treatment effects. For GI fixed effects (SMD = 0.27, 95% CI = −0.035–0.575, P = 0.0803, not significant) and random effects (SMD = 0.259, 95% CI = 0.049–0.469, P = 0.016, significant) were found slightly different and positive. However, one model showed significant and another model showed nonsignificant treatment effects.Conclusion:Results from our meta-analyses confirmed the beneficial effects of A. vera in improving the periodontal parameters and hence may be considered as a safe alternative drug delivery agent for the management of periodontal diseases in future.

Relationships Between Health and Environmental Information on the Willingness to Pay for Functional Foods: The Case of a New Aloe Vera Based Product.

There is an increasing interest in healthy and sustainable product characteristics. Consumers determine their dietary intake and frame production systems with their choices. However, little is known about the relationships between health and environmental information in influencing these choices, especially when considering functional foods. This study assessed the influence of health-related and environmental-friendliness-related product information on the willingness to pay (WTP) for functional foods. To this end, a WTP elicitation experiment was set up using a jam-like fruit compote enriched with Aloe vera gel. Participants were provided with different messages related to the health and environmental benefits of Aloe vera products, and were also asked to taste the product. Results indicated that providing new information significantly increased the WTP for the enriched compote. This increase was significant for both health and environmentally based benefits, with the health message leading to a higher WTP. Combining health and environmental messages produced an additive effect on WTP which was independent of the sequential order in which the two messages were given. Results contrasted the view that health messages are the main drivers of WTP, and open a broader range of communication in terms of marketing strategies and sustainable policy objectives.

INCOME IMPACT OF PASTORALIST WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN ALOE VERA SOAP PRODUCTION IN SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA

Commercial opportunity for indigenous Aloe Vera products appear to be increasing as there is a sustained demand from international as well as African market with high participation of women. However, its income impact on the livelihood of household is not yet addressed. Therefore, this study evaluated the income impact of pastoralist women participation in Aloe Vera soap production in Yabello district, Borana zone of Oromia, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were collected from 200 sample households using semi-structured questionnaire. To analyse the data both descriptive and inferential statistics and Propensity Score Matching model were applied. The Propensity Score Matching was applied the required matching processes, covariate balancing and sensitivity analysis tests. The result shows that participation of women in Aloe Vera soap production has insignificant result with impact on household income. However, the propensity score matching also indicates average treatment effect on treated income is 45.693 Birr. Result of sensitivity analysis further shows that the estimated effects are insensitive to unobserved selection bias within gamma level used. Thus, Aloe Vera soap production should be encouraged for the pastoralist social wellbeing.

VISITORS’ SATISFACTION OF AGRITOURISM AT AGRIBISNIS ALOE VERA CENTER

Aloe Vera is one of prime farming products in Pontianak so that the city government established Aloe Vera Center as the center for research and development of Aloe Vera product. In 2002, Aloe Vera Center also added an agritourism service there. Agritourism in Aloe Vera Center is expected to keep developing and face the challenge to attract visitors. For a unit of government under service sector, visitor is the most important parameter to make development planning. Therefore, as a basis of development planning, a research is needed to measure satisfaction variable in order to analyze visitors’ satisfaction. This study aims to determine the satisfaction variable of visitors who have the highest and lowest values and which variables are the main problems of visitors so that policy makers can use this research as a basis for planning development facilities, infrastructure and further service improvement. There are 100 respondents with the determination of samples from visitors who came. Conducted with non-probability sampling through convenience sampling method. There was a screening at the beginning of the questionnaire where the visitors who were used as respondents were visitors who had finished visiting. This research used Important Performance Analysis method and Customer Satisfaction Index. Research findings showed that from 5 dimensions and 27 variables analyzed, it was obtained that CSI score was 78,54%, which means that the satisfaction level of the visitors of Agribisnis Aloe Vera Center at whole is at the minimum limit, research finding is on the range 77%&lt;X&lt;80%. It means that, if there were no improvement on the attributes, the satisfaction of the visitors would also deteriorate. Besides, from Cartesian coordinate system, it was found that there were five prioritized variables that need to be improved. The researcher concluded that the Aloevera Manager must be giving attention to the parking area. More improving the cleanliness, comfort, neat location. Providing repairs to the Gazebo Facility and adding wudhu place, prayer mats and mukena as a prayer room facility. This needs to be done to increase customer satisfaction and increase visits. Managers must also make satisfaction analysis as a reference for preparing the following year’s budget.
