Article Abstract
Aloe vera has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its diverse medicinal properties, especially its antibacterial effects. This review comprehensively analyzes various extraction techniques of A. vera, including traditional hand-filleted processing, whole leaves processing, and modern methods like hot water extraction, centrifugation-based gel extraction, freeze-drying, and solvent extraction. The chemical composition of A. vera, such as anthraquinones, saponins, and polysaccharides, is closely related to its antibacterial and other medicinal activities. However, issues like lack of standardization in extraction procedures, unclear optimal dosage for antibacterial activity, and limited knowledge about its stability and shelf life still exist. Future research should focus on isolating pure chemical constituents, evaluating their bioactivity, and conducting more human clinical trials. By addressing these challenges, A. vera could be better utilized in clinical and commercial applications, especially in combating bacterial resistance.

Food combinations featuring specific functional components represent one of the effective intervention strategies for alleviating functional gastrointestinal disorders induced by dietary and environmental factors. Honey and aloe vera have both been recognized as natural agents with laxative effects, yet the synergistic effects of their combination in alleviating constipation and the underlying regulatory mechanism remain to be elucidated. This study formulated a honey-aloe paste by employing honey as the primary ingredient compounded with aloe vera gel and investigated its preventive effects on loperamide-induced slow-transit constipation through a comprehensive analysis of gastrointestinal function and intestinal microenvironment.

In this study, aloe emodin and β-d-glucose pentaacetate were added into potato starch/polyvinyl alcohol for the construction of colorimetric/fluorescent dual-pass intelligent response labels. Inspired by the lotus leaf structure, retained the advantages of the label itself and solved the hydrophilic problem of the label, and further developed a multi-functional dual-channel smart label with hydrophobicity and self-adhesion. The water contact angle of the prepared T-AEB label was 120.
