Aloin Content Determination In Aloe Vera With Its Physicochemical Properties Along With Its Physicochemical And Phytochemical Evaluation In Piper nigrum

Abstract

Abstract-India has a vast diversity of herbs. Around 3,000 years before, these herbs were acknowledged and use as medicinal plants and helpful for treating people. New scientific research has established that some plants and herbs have presence of many active compounds and possess specific pharmacological properties. Aloe vera (ghritkumari) and Piper nigrum (black pepper or maricha) are the oldest plants which are used as a medicinal herb as well as in household. Aloe vera or Ghritkumari species are currently used by cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Aloe vera has antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic properties which help to treat skin-related problems. Piper nigrum is a species that is used in various medications since very old times. They have also been used as domestic medicine against various infections, a quality attributable to the existence of certain chemical moieties in them. Physicochemical analysis and bioactive compound evaluation of the medicinal plants in essence ofAloe veraandPiper nigrum was undertaken in this study.In physicochemical analysis of aloe vera, many parameters were tested against pulp extract and leave extract (i.e., pulp and leave); parameters are color, odour, taste, total solid, total ash value, total dissolved solid, specific gravity, PH, refractive index. For aloin content evaluation, High-Performance Layer Chromatography techniques were used in the Aloe vera plant. In physicochemical analysis, many standardization parameters like alcohol soluble extractive values, water-soluble extractive values, loss on drying, total ash value, acid insoluble ash and total ash value of P. nigrum fruits were analysed. For phytochemical screening, following a 6-stage extraction process is performed, the extracts collected fromP.nigrum were exposed to a number of preliminary biochemical and phytochemical tests. The presence of tannins, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, and alkaloids wastested in the chloroform and aqueous extract which is used in the following investigation. However, from the aggregation of all our results, we concluded that the presence of these phytochemicals and bioactive component in these medicinal plants indicates potential therapeutic properties for welfare of humans.
