Abstract: A composition and process for generating an anthraquinone rich aloe product from aloe leaves comprising the steps of: removing one or more rind parts from the aloe leaves comprising a top rind, a bottom rind, or both by filleting the aloe leaves on a filleting table into a mucilage layer below the rind parts of the aloe leaves to remove the top rind, the bottom rind, or both from an internal fillet or a gel layer; and separating the internal fillet or the gel layer from the rind parts; removing a mucilage layer attached to the one or more rind parts by scraping, heat-treating the rind parts and the extracted mucilage; and adding one or more preservatives to the heat-treated mucilage after cooling, wherein the extracted and heat-treated mucilage comprises the anthaquinone rich aloe product.

Abstract: A process for preparing a stabilized aloe vera gel which includes separating the clear gel from the whole leaf of the aloe vera plant, by grinding and mixing the whole leaf with a cellulose dissolving compound. Clear aloe vera gel is obtained through a series of filtration steps. A selected quantity of an oxygen scavenging enzyme, such as glucose oxidase is added to the mixture to remove oxygen from within the gel and inhibit the growth of aerobic bacteria therein, and ultra-violet light is used to sterilize the gel without the addition of heat thereto. The material can be passed through a final organic filter to remove any remaining bacteria.

Abstract: The clear gel of aloe vera leaves is processed to provide a durable preparation preserving the therapeutic qualities of the fresh gel while essentially eliminating the rare but important idiosyncratic sensitivities encountered from stabilized aloe vera gel of the prior art. The process includes mechanically separating the aloe vera gel matrix from the leaf itself and thereafter adding a catalytic amount of a non-toxic oxidant to the fresh gel which is brought to a temperature of from about 35 degrees C. to about 80 degrees C. Ascorbic acid is then employed as a non-toxic antioxidant to arrest catalytic oxidation and a non-toxic buffer is then added in order to maintain the pH of the stabilized gel composition in a range of from about 4 to about 6.
