Abstract
In the present study, we have phytochemically characterized 5 different abundant Aloe species, including Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f., using silylation followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry technique and compared the data using multivariate statistical analysis. The results demonstrated clear distinction of the overall phytochemical profile of A vera, highlighted by its divergent spatial arrangement in the component plot. Lowest correlation of the phytochemical profiles were found between A vera and A aristata Haw. (-0.626), whereas highest correlation resided between A aristata and A aspera Haw. (0.899). Among the individual phytochemicals, palmitic acid was identified in highest abundance cumulatively, and carboxylic acids were the most predominant phytochemical species in all the Aloe species. Compared to A vera, linear correlation analysis revealed highest and lowest correlation with A aspera ( R2 = 0.9162) and A aristata ( R2 = 0.6745), respectively. Therefore, A vera demonstrated distinct spatial allocation, reflecting its greater phytochemical variability.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine ((JEBIM)), published previously as the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (JEBCAM) and also as Complementary Health Practice Review (CHPR). The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine (JEBIM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access, biomedical journal whose aim is to create a global platform for hypothesis-driven and evidence-based research in all fields of integrative medicine. The journal’s objective is to publish papers which impart scientific validity to Integrative Medicine methods that are indispensable and inevitable in today’s world. All papers will be peer reviewed by experts in their respective fields, and papers will be accepted based on their scientific merit. It is the goal of the Journal to help remove the “myth” and provide scientific rationale for the various methodologies and theories of Integrative Medicine. All submissions will be reviewed based on their scientific merit and only papers with sound study design, valid statistical analyses and logical conclusions will be accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to: Traditional Eastern and Western medicine Nutrition therapy and supplementation Massage Therapy Non-traditional treatments Preventative medicine Integrative health and medicine Mindfulness Yoga.
