Endophytes are a group of bacteria, fungi and/or actinomycetes that live near intercellular or intracellular tissues of a host plant without causing any disease symptoms. Both endophytes and host plant manifest their reciprocal relationship by providing a spacious shelter, nutrients as well as a shield system against pests and animals. Almost all living plants that grow in many parts of the earth are resided by endophytes, including Aloe vera. This plant owns exceptional biological profiles, which are evidenced by antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antiviral properties. As per a current report, more than 75 actives are isolated from A. vera. These include polysaccharides, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals, and phenolic substances. A unique communication between A. vera and endophytes has permitted the microbial occupants to mimic the production of these bio-actives. In respect of pharmaceutical significance, this event promises a high potency to novel drugs discovery. Thus, several currently isolated bioactive compounds and their therapeutic values from A. vera and its endophytes have been chosen in this review. The discovery of novel bioactive compounds may become an excellent foundation against lethal diseases in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sclerotium rolfsii is a broadly-host pathogen that causes disease in various plants, including Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f., and is commonly controlled with fungicides. Other alternative control methods using bacteria antagonists are worth studying. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) trapped on solid agar on the growth of S. rolfsii. The bacterial isolates, i.e., Serratia sp. S108 and Brucella sp. BE60 were streaked on nutrient agar, covered and sealed with trapping agar media and then incubated for 3 days at 28 °C. The trapping media used were water agar (WA) 1.75%, and WA enriched with active carbon (WAC), i.e., 0.25%, 0.375%, and 0.5%. Clove oil (1 ml) was used as a standard VOCs control. The treated trapped agar media were then inoculated with S. rolfsii and incubated for three days at 28 °C. The growth diameter of fungus on the trapped agar was compared with non-treated WA. The experiment was designed completely random, with three replications. Also, the trapped VOCs agar media were seeded with surface sterilized seeds of Brassica juncea L. to know its effect on seed growth. The study showed that the trapped VOCs agar media of WA and WAC inhibited the radial growth of S. sclerotium and B. juncea. The study implies that the trapped VOCs of bacterial isolates could be further investigated as an alternative method to control fungus; however, it should be borne in mind that the VOCs also repressed seed growth.

Aloe vera is one of the living collections of Purwodadi Botanic Garden and planted in vak XIV.G.I. It has been scientifically proven to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. However, there is no clear mechanism regarding the anti-diabetic property of A. vera. Using an in silico approach, we attempted to reveal how A. vera works in the treatment of type 2 DM. Phytochemical compounds information of A. vera was searched through literature studies. In silico screening of its anti-diabetic property was carried out using molecular docking protein method between 6 phytochemicals of A. vera and protein targets in drug development of type 2 DM, i.e., 11β Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD), fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (FPA), and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 (PTP 1β). For comparison, we also performed a docking analysis between 6 commercial diabetes drugs with protein targets. The results showed that both A. vera compounds and DM drugs interacted with the protein targets but with different binding affinities. A. vera compounds expected to play an important role in anti-diabetic activity are aloe emodin, chrysophanol, and isorabaichromone. Aloe emodin interacted strongly with 11βHSD and FPA with binding affinities of -8.8 and -7.9 kcal/mol. Chrysophanol had binding affinities of -8.9 and -7.8 kcal/mol with 11βHSD and PTP 1β, while isobaichromone interacted with 11βHSD with a binding affinity of -8.8 kcal/mol. Commercial drugs that have been used so far also have almost the same effectiveness. Among the 6 drugs tested, the effectiveness of GLP-1-receptor agonist 3 can best be explained because it interacted strongly with all three protein targets. Thus, A. vera has the potential as a more efficient alternative treatment for type 2 DM because it has at least 3 anti-diabetic compounds that work synergistically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was conducted to utilize natural anthraquinone and p-allylphenol as disinfectants to prevent the transmission of viruses and bacteria through hand contact. Both natural compounds are obtained from aloe vera gel and betel leaf. Some samples were made in the laboratory using the main material components for making hand sanitizers as recommended by the world health agency. In addition, the disinfectant performance was improved by adding natural anthraquinone and p-allylphenol obtained domestically. The addition of them influences the pH value, so it is expected to increase its performance. The experimental results proved that the addition of 2.4% betel leaf, or 11.4% of a mixture of betel leaf and aloe vera, obtained a sample with a pH of 5.6. The addition of aloe vera alone produces a sample with a pH of 6.3. The three additive compositions will produce the pH required by health organizations for skin health between 4.5 and 6.5 and are considered effective and safe for practical use.

They are more environmentally friendly, have better biocompatibility, and cost less because of their increasing popularity. The calcination procedure at 250°C was used to study the extraction of natural hydroxyapatite from natural sources (fish bones and cockle shells) to construct a natural hybrid composite matrix (aloe vera gel+alginate+hydroxyapatite). There were no secondary compounds formed during the calcination process, which means there were no impurities in the extracted hydroxyapatite. The results also showed that the ratios used to create a natural hybrid compound matrix were appropriate and that the method of sustainable mixing was correct because it had no effect. Most significant elevational changes. The hydroxyapatite derived from oyster shells crystallized well thanks to the calcination process parameter, however, the hydroxyapatite collected from fish bones crystallized poorly due to oily components. Hydroxyapatite crystallization was not affected by polymeric additions, however the quality of the material was enhanced and a consistent structure was achieved. In addition to the Nano-grain size, the extracted hydroxyapatite exhibits a regular crystal structure, indicating a successful calcination procedure. The polymer has a consistent and homogenous dispersion of hydroxyapatite particles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has many advantages over conventional physico-chemical methods and has extensive applications in the field of medicine and biology. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO-NP) nanoparticles were synthesized from aloe vera leaf extract. 0.25M zinc sulfate was used as the zinc precursor. The presence of white precipitation from the reaction indicated the formation of ZnO-NP. The characterizations of ZnO-NP were determined using a variety of analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-discharge scanning electron microscope (FESEM), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The UV peak was formed at 380 nm while the XRD diffractogram corresponded to the JCPDS card for crystalline ZnO, confirming the presence of pure ZnO-NP. FESEM analysis revealed agglomerated ZnO-NP in irregular shapes whereas TEM showed nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 20 to 90 nm. The results of this study indicated that plant-based ZnO-NP synthesis is feasible and can be an excellent strategy for developing versatile and environmentally friendly products.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been extensively used in various biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental and electronics applications. In the study, Ag NPs were facilely synthesized by a green method using Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) extract and AgNO3 using simple heat treatment. An aqueous Aloe vera peel extract acted as natural reducing agents of silver ions resulting in formation of Ag NPs without additional toxic chemicals. Instead of using hazardous chemicals, the use of plant extract has led to eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of Ag NPs. The ratio of AgNO3 and crude Aloe vera extract was varied from 8:2 to 2:8 by volume. The particle content, pH and UV-VIS characterization were used to prove the successful generation of Ag NPs. The Ag NPs synthesized at the ratio of 4:6 was achieved with the highest particle content of 8.7±0.37 mg/ml. To examine the antibacterial activity of Ag NPs, disc diffusion method was used to evaluate their antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus). The results revealed that the antimicrobial activity against E. coli by Ag NPs (ratio 8:2) was relatively greater than those of other ratios and Aloe vera extract. Meanwhile, the antimicrobial activity against S. aureus by Ag NPs was slightly higher than that of Aloe vera extract. The antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus was also evaluated after 4 months to determine the stability of Ag NPs. The Ag NPs kept for 4 months still revealed the similar antibacterial activity against both bacteria to those freshly prepared. The biosynthesis method of Ag NPs using Aloe vera peel extract is eco-friendly, low cost and efficient technique. The prepared Ag NPs can be exploited for their pharmaceutical usage as well as a large scale commercial production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There have been reviews on the synthesis, characterization, modification, and application of TiO2 over the past 10 years in about 30,000 journals from the Sciencedirect.com website as a data source investigating capping agents and sensitizers from natural materials. The process of searching for data sources was continued with a filtering process according to several key words, namely "capping agent, sensitizer, natural, green, plant, extract" then obtained 25 selected articles that specifically reviewed the potential of plant extracts as capping agents and sensitizers in the synthesis of titanium oxide. The results of the review concluded that the shape and size of titanium oxide using a capping agent in the form of plant extracts such as starch, temulawak, soybean, aloe vera, curry tea, hibiscus rosa sinensis is spherical in shape with a size range of 7-160 nm and an average particle size of up to 30 -50 nm. Natural pigments and dyes such as anthocyanins and chlorophyll have been used as sensitizers in the last ten years. This review shows that the use of biomass as a source of capping agent and sensitizer increases efficiency because of the band gap and surface area. The plant extracts will provide several levels of efficiency in producing titanium oxide with various morphological variations and applications with band gap control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the fact that natural biomaterials are becoming more and more interesting, they are environmentally friendly, have higher biocompatibility, and cost less. Extraction of natural Calcium carbonate from eggshells was studied using calcination process at 250c, as a reinforcement added to aloe Vera gel with alginate to prepare Natural Hybrid composite matrix (aloe Vera+alginate+ Calcium carbonate). The results showed extracted Calcium carbonate is of high purity and no impurities were resulting from the calcination process, as no secondary compounds appeared and that the ratios of Natural Hybrid composite matrix formation were appropriate and the sustainable mixing method was correct, as it did not affect the main peaks. And the parameter used in the calcination process is very successful and high crystallinity of Calcium carbonate was obtained. In addition, the polymeric additives did not affect the crystallinity and purity of Calcium carbonate, but on the contrary, increased the purity of the material and a uniform structure was obtained. Also, the extracted Calcium carbonate has a regular crystal structure, which indicates the success of the calcination process well, in addition to the fact that a Nano-granular size was obtained. The distribution of Calcium carbonate particles within the polymer was uniform and homogeneous. The Natural Hybrid composite matrixproved that it can inhibit some types of bacteria and fungi, but failed against others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Premium in creating biodegradable composite film that can join bioactive substances and have dynamic part in food packaging, has been hiked in the most recent many years. Curcumin, known for its antimicrobial and cell reinforcement action has been proposed as a functioning particle that can be consolidated into biodegradable film. This work proposes the turn of events and portrayal of composite film produced using potato starch and Aloe Vera gel fused with curcumin-incorporated starch nanoparticles. The impact of the curcumin-incorporated nanovehicles on the mechanical, hindrance, and thermal properties of the composite film was considered. In this sense, the examination noticed that consideration of exceptionally hydrophobic curcumin prompts a decrease of the penetrability of water vapour while improving the film's rigidity. At last, from the delivery profiles of curcumin from the composite film in various food simulants, it is seen that it is conceivable to control curcumin discharge in various foods by changing the qualities of the nanovehicles incorporated.

The edible coating is a thin layer of material that can be consumed. It can be applied to fruits/vegetable surfaces to replace waxy coatings such as carnauba wax, candelia wax, etc., and to provide a barrier to moisture, oxygen, solute movement, microbes from the external environment. Herbal extracts such as Aloe vera, neem, lemon grass, tulsi, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, etc are now being used for the edible coating for fruits & vegetables because of their beneficial properties. Recently, aloe vera based edible coating was used due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties. Aloe gel was mainly composed of polysaccharides and it has the property of film-forming. The advantage of using aloe based edible coating was biologically safe, biodegradable, environmentally safe, and for its antimicrobial properties. To improve the performance of aloe vera edible coatings, Bermuda grass extract has been incorporated. Bermuda grass extract is found to have an antimicrobial property and that was used as a bio-based additive. The combination of aloe gel and Bermuda grass extract will increase the shelf life to the great extent. A study of Aloe based edible coatings was carried out to evaluate for its antimicrobial property, reduction of the postharvest loss of fruits/vegetable quality. Physical, chemical, sensory characteristics will be analyzed at regular intervals during the storage period. The coated sample will control the physiological loss in weight, chemical changes, color, softening of fruit/vegetable tissue, and decay. So, the shelf life of fruits/vegetables can be increased to a great extent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of polymer electrolyte materials for energy generating and energy storage devices is a challenge today. A new type of blended green electrolyte based on Poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) and Aloe-vera has been prepared by solution casting technique. The blending of polymers may lead to the increase in stability due to one polymer portraying itself as a mechanical stiffener and the other as a gelled matrix supported by the other. The prepared blend electrolytes were subjected to Ac impedance studies. It has been found out that the polymer film in which 1 gm of PVA was dissolved in 40 ml of Aloe-vera extract exhibits highest conductivity and its value is 3.08 × 10-4 S cm-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Synthesis and characterization of talc/ZnO nanocomposites with the assistance of aloe-vera are investigated by structural and morphological studies. The crystal structure and the phase analysis of ZnO and talc are characterized and confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The average crystallite size estimation from the Scherrer formula and the particle size analysis clearly predicts that the size of the ZnO declines when aloe-vera is used as a capping molecule in comparison to the commercially available ZnO. The reduced crystallite size of ZnO renders a stable cohesion with the talc composition and the presence of distinct functional group pyridines/ammonia in the synthesized nanocomposites enriches the good adhesion between the as-synthesized material and cotton fabric. The adhesion and homogeneous distribution of talc/ZnO nanocomposites on the cotton fabric are inferred from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results. The basic studies and characterizations would pave way for futuristic bio-medical application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
