Parimal Katolkar and Ekta Wadbudhe*
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this review article is to understand more about Aloe Vera, including its biological properties and cosmetic applications. Aloe Vera is a significant ingredient in the culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics sectors, as well as in Ayurveda medicine. Despite the lack of scientific evidence for its therapeutic value, alternative medicine (a commercial product) is sold as having restorative qualities. It can also be used as a moisturiser and anti-irritant for facial tissues. Several research has connected oral administration to clinical success. The processing of aloe Vera leaves includes washing, pre-treating, peeling, and hand filleting. To extract gel from Aloe Vera pulp, cold extraction gel and purification of Aloe Vera gel are utilised. The key operations in the manufacturing of Aloe Vera leaf gel are raw material, filleting, grinding/homogenization, addition of enzyme, filtration, addition of vitamin C and crucial acid, deaeration, pasteurisation, flash cooling, and storing. The quality parameters of Aloe Vera gel are viscosity, refractive index, optical density, stabilisation of Aloe Vera gel, and product preparation from Aloe Vera, and the timing of the leaf process, leaf harvesting and handling, flash cooling, pasteurization, concentration, freeze or spray drying, and clinical effectiveness and cosmetology are important.
