Opis

The book examines Aloe vera cultivated in Algeria, focusing on its morphological and physicochemical characteristics. The leaves are fleshy, adapted to the Mediterranean climate, and produce a satisfactory gel yield that is rich in water and organic matter, with stable pH and good resistance to oxidation. A detailed analysis of physicochemical parameters (gel yield, moisture content, organic matter, ash content, turbidity, viscosity, acidity, Brix degree, and potential color change) from plants in the Skikda region revealed some differences compared to international studies, which may affect its medical, cosmetic, and food applications. Algerian Aloe vera thus shows qualities comparable to global standards while maintaining local specificities.
