➢ Product Name: Aloe Vera Extract
➢ Latin Name: Aloe barbadensis Miller
➢ Plant Part Used: Clear inner gel (peeled mesophyll) of Aloe barbadensis Miller leaves of Asphodelaceae
Manufactured from transparent inner gel of Aloe barbadensis Miller leaves via sterilization-filtration, low-temperature concentration and spray-drying processes. Enriched extract can also be obtained by ethanol-water extraction and resin purification. It retains natural active components including aloe polysaccharides, aloin, flavonoids and organic acids, without artificial monomer blending or extra exogenous auxiliary materials. It exhibits anti-oxidation, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory repair activities, widely adopted in food-grade dietary supplements and cosmetic raw-material fields. Compared with ordinary aloe dry powder, enriched extract delivers higher concentration of active ingredients with multi-component synergistic effects, suitable for product development of gastrointestinal care and skin-care related formulas.
➢ Raw Material Source: 100% extracted from aloe vera gel, free of starch, dextrin and other exogenous additives.
➢ Processing Grade: Low-temperature first-grade refined extract. High-temperature-induced degradation of aloe polysaccharides is controlled; no artificial blending. Impurities, solvent residues, heavy metals and pesticide residues are strictly controlled to meet raw-material safety limits.
➢ Core Indicators: Aloe polysaccharides 10%-40%, aloin content adjustable upon demand, total polyphenols 2%-10%; de-bitter and de-anthraquinone grades are available.
➢ Physical and Chemical Properties: Light yellow to off-white fine powder. Polysaccharides are highly hygroscopic; encapsulation modification is available to improve stability for multiple dosage-form development.
➢ Applicable Dosage Forms: Tablets, capsules, solid beverages, pressed candies, compound powders and others.
➢ Storage Properties: Sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof. Store in cool and dry place, strictly prevent moisture absorption to secure polysaccharide activity.
➢ Authentic Raw Material, High-purity & High-activity:
Select mature aloe vera leaves, peel off rind strictly and adopt inner gel part with high intrinsic aloe-polysaccharide content to guarantee raw-material activity foundation from the source.
➢ Low-temperature Activity Lock, Natural Components:
Adopt low-temperature concentration and spray-drying technologies to avoid thermal damage to heat-sensitive polysaccharides, preserve natural component ratio of gel. The synergistic performance of natural compound system outperforms single-polysaccharide monomer.
➢ Zero-adulteration Purity, Safe & Compliant:
Free of blending, fillers, pigments, flavors, preservatives and harmful auxiliaries. Residues and microorganisms are strictly controlled complying with domestic food-raw-material regulations, USP and EP quality standards.
➢ Strong Compatibility, Full-scenario Adaptation:
Good water-solubility. Can be used alone or compounded with other botanical extracts. De-anthraquinone grades are available for different application scenarios of food and cosmetics.
➢ Standardized Production, Stable Batch Quality:
Produced in 100,000-class GMP workshop. Tested by HPLC and UV dual-methods. Key indicators of aloe polysaccharides and aloin are strictly controlled for uniform batch quality and full traceability.
Uniform fine powder from light yellow to off-white with natural plant color, loose, delicate and good fluidity. It has light characteristic aloe herbal odor, free of mildewed, fermented or scorched peculiar odor. Conventional grades are well water-soluble, forming pale yellow aqueous solution with strong hygroscopicity. De-anthraquinone products show obviously reduced bitterness. Encapsulated modified products feature improved moisture resistance, with better overall quality than whole-leaf aloe powder.
Multi-component synergistic system centered on aloe acetylated polysaccharides, supplemented by anthraquinones, flavonoids and organic acids. Aloe polysaccharides are heat-sensitive and hygroscopic substances, prone to degradation under high temperature and high humidity. Micro-capsule encapsulation significantly enhances thermal-humidity resistance and remedies the defect of easy deactivation caused by moisture absorption for ordinary aloe powder.
Good formulation compatibility. Conventional water-soluble grades are mainly applied in solid beverages and instant foods; high-purity grades fit for tablets and capsules; de-anthraquinone versions are preferred for long-term-consumption food formulas. Moisture-proof design shall be considered for high-humidity-environment formulas. Compatible with most solid-dosage industrial processes to satisfy mass-production and high-end customized development.
Food-grade high-barrier light-proof packaging isolates oxygen, moisture and light to slow down polysaccharide degradation and moisture caking. Store at cool room temperature without freezing. Use up promptly after opening. Flexible packaging specifications support lab-scale R&D, pilot test and large-scale production.
Aloe active complex, mainly acetylated aloe polysaccharides, together with aloin, aloe-emodin (anthraquinones), quercetin-type flavonoids and organic acids. Synergy of multiple components forms the material basis for anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory repair.
Polysaccharides and flavonoids contain phenolic hydroxyl groups, which directly scavenge reactive-oxygen free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. They up-regulate activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes including SOD and glutathione to build anti-oxidant defense barriers and alleviate cell damage induced by oxidative stress.
Modulate NF-κB signaling pathway, down-regulate release of pro-inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-6, inhibit local chronic low-grade inflammatory responses and mitigate inflammatory damage triggered by oxidative stress.
Aloe polysaccharides can form protective films on mucosal surfaces, maintain integrity of gastrointestinal mucosa, assist mucosal-damage repair and regulate local micro-environment.
Macromolecular aloe polysaccharides deliver favorable water-holding capacity, repair skin barrier and reduce damage induced by external irritation, widely used for external skin-care applications.
Active polysaccharides and polyphenols act on cell membranes, mitigate free-radical attack against membrane lipids, maintain cell-membrane structural integrity and reduce cell damage induced by external oxidative stimuli.
Can be used as health-food raw material for capsules, tablets and solid beverages, targeting consumers with gastrointestinal-care and anti-oxidation demands.
Note: For food applications, gel raw materials shall be strictly distinguished from whole-leaf raw materials, anthraquinone content shall be controlled and comply with domestic regulatory limits.
Commonly-used raw material for overseas dietary supplements, featured with gastrointestinal care and anti-oxidation. Developable into tablets, capsules and compound powders for overseas consumer markets.
Applied in pressed candies, solid beverages and instant powders. Often compounded with inulin and fructooligosaccharides to manufacture gastrointestinal-care functional foods.
For scientific-research institutes and enterprise new-product development. Customized raw materials with different polysaccharide contents and de-anthraquinone modification are available to support high-end compound-product development for gastrointestinal care and anti-oxidation purposes.
Meets quality requirements of USP and EP. Complete test documents are available for bulk export to global markets. It is one of mainstream botanical raw materials in international markets.
Safety assessment on anthraquinones shall be fully performed for pet formulas. After safety evaluation, limited addition is allowed in pet nutritional tablets and powders for gastrointestinal-care directions.
