The use of plants for healing purposes has been predated long before the existence of  modern medicine. Herbal plants have formed a fundamental source for conventional medicine in discovery of single ingredient medication, including aspirin (from willow bark), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy)......

Aloe Vera has shown to express to the antibacterial infection and scavenging properties with the rate of over 75% in compared to ascorbic acid (92%) a renowned institute suggested.

Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorroeaceae, native to Sudan used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated of cholesterol, etc. The plant is very popular for commercial cultivation due to its health benefits,

Antioxidants are the set of molecules with functions in binding the production of free radicals causes of oxidative stress to the body and fighting against the invasion of bacterial organism.

According to the Monash University Malaysia, Aloe vera bioactive compounds exerted inhibited effects against numbers of bacterial strands, particular in Bacillus (20.7%), Pseudomonas (20.7%) and Enterobacter (13.8%).

Dr. Akinsanya MA, the lead author in the joint study suggested that the efficacy of Aloe Vera is the result of the production of bioactive compounds with high DPPH, (organic chemical compound with) scavenging properties (75-88%).

In fact, in vitro, the testing various phytochemicals such as total phenolic content antioxidant activity, A. vera methanolic leaf extracts exhibited a strong antioxidant activities in free radical scavenging assay, metal chelating assay, hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay.

Although, Aloe Vera may have a significant antioxidant property but different agro-climatic conditions may effect the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant potential of the plant.

The findings that Aloe Vera has exerted the antioxidant effects in various aspects, but intake of large amount should be taken with care.
