The aloe plant is the source of two herbal preparations: aloe gel (AG) and aloe latex. Aloe gel is often called “aloe vera and refers to the clear gel or mucilaginous substance produced by parenchymal cells located in the central region of the leaf. Diluted aloe gel is commonly referred to as “aloe vera extract. The gel is composed mainly of water (99%) and mono- and polysaccharides (25% of the dry weight of the gel).
The most prominent monosaccharide in AG is mannose-6-phosphate, and the most common polysaccharides are called gluco-mannans (beta-(1,4) acetylated mannan). They are long-chain sugars containing glucose and mannose. A prominent gluco-mannan named acemannan has been isolated and is being marketed as Carrisyn. Recently a glycoprotein with antiallergic properties, called alprogen, was isolated from AG. In addition, a novel anti-inflammatory compound, C-glucosyl chromone, has recently been isolated from AG.
