Preliminary compositional nutrient diagnosis norms in Aloe vera L. grown on calcareous soil in an arid environment

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on functional properties and quality characteristics of Aloe vera gel (Aloe barbadensis Miller)

“…), respectively. Similar results were reported for Aloe vera by Femenia et al (1999) and García-Hernández et al (2006). The Aloe vera gel without treatment stored for 35 days presented a significant decrease (p-value < 0.05) in mineral content of approximately three times more compared to the initial value of the fresh gel (zero day storage), except for phosphorus.…”

“…García-Hernández et al (2006) reported similar results for the mineral content of Aloe vera; moreover, they suggested that the plant has a greater efficiency in terms of these inorganic elements, because plants grown in nutrient-rich soils do not tend to accumulate these minerals in their leaves.…”

“…The P content was estimated using a phospho-vanadium-molybdenum complex at 466 nm (Shimadzu Instruments, Inc., Spectrophotometer UV-120-02) as described by García-Hernández et al (2006) and Femenia et al (1999). All determinations were done in triplicate.…”

“…Nevertheless, the mineral content may vary widely among vegetables, depending on several factors such as ripeness, variety, soil type, the use of fertilizers, intensity and exposure time to sunlight, temperature, rain, and cultivation area (Costa et al, 2003;García-Hernández et al, 2006). García-Hernández et al (2006) reported similar results for the mineral content of Aloe vera; moreover, they suggested that the plant has a greater efficiency in terms of these inorganic elements, because plants grown in nutrient-rich soils do not tend to accumulate these minerals in their leaves.…”

“…El Aloe vera contiene la mayoría de sus carbohidratos en forma de polímeros de manosa (accemananos), vitamina A, vitaminas B 1 , B 5 , B 6 y vitamina C (Lawrence, 1998;Scheer, 1998;García-Hernández et al, 2006). El Aloe vera por si solo a diferentes concentraciones tiene capacidad bacterioestática y bactericida contra patógenos causantes de infecciones como Salmonella sp.…”
