Aloe vera cultivation/extraction process

Having healthy and proliferous are Aloe Vera plants, Leaves are green and juicy. The crop is abundant. It is harvested, replanted and grown again and again. Also you can see the process of harvesting, cleaning and extracting the leaves to obtain Aloin, Aloe Vera Gel & Juice, Aloeride is purely an aloe vera product.

The cultivation, harvesting, extraction and the other process are carried out by a group of healthy, educated and efficient experts and they are trained to do the job. In the first instance, each plant, rather each leaf of the plant, is cleaned with water in the field to remove the adhering dust, microbes, insects if any. The water contains 5-10 ppm chlorine to assure that water is free from pathogen etc. This again gives plants and surrounding sterile and aseptic. The leaves are next cut transversally at the bottom. The experts are well equipped and provided with adequate aprons, hand-glows, nose-masks and head guards  to avoid bacterial, viral or other infections from human body to plants and vice-a-versa.

Soon after cutting, the leaves are brought to a washing pond, where each and every leaf is further cleaned manually, first with water and then with a solution containing 0.001 to 0.005 ppm formalin and finally with clean water. The cleaned leaves are brought to a tray 4ftx4ft, with about 1ft height. The leaves are stacked vertically with cut at the bottom to drain-off.

The leaves are next cut once again at the bottom about two to three cms. Above the bottom and fed to the juicing machine. The feeding operation is manually done but the Aloe vera juice extraction is carried out in a power driven machine. Thus, leaves are continuously squeezed/crushed and extracted Squeezed liquor is collected  in front and the extracted leaves at the rear end of the machine. Residual juice from the squeezed leaves is also drained and collected.

The viscous clear transparent juice is then passed through a filtration-cum-homogenizing unit to get clear, water white, transparent juice. Adequate preservative, sodium benzoate plus potassium sorbate, for example are added. The leaves are dried under aseptic conditions and ground.

 The aloe vera juice is cooled to 0-5 degrees C and transported for concentration and freeze drying. The freeze dried powder 200x is packed under nitrogen.

The pioneer place where organic farming, forestation, medicinal plants cultivation, extraction and manufacture of value added products along with variety research activities  are carried out with the full fledged laboratory work is done according to the given procedure and plan this is how the Extraction or cultivation process of aloe vera is carried out for Aloeride. Read more
