Abstract
The overall goal of this work was to pursue antioxidant activity, phytochemical compounds, and total phenolic contents of Aloe vera (L.) extracts. The present protocol demonstrated that anthraquinone of Aloe extracts can be used as a plant pesticide. Phytochemical analysis showed the higher amount of flavonoids present in all the three extracts water, methanol and ethanol compared to other secondary metabolites. Total phenolic content were determined by using Folin Ciocalteu method in all the three extracts. The water extract of Aloe were detected highest phenolic compounds as 42.1±2.8 gallic acid equivalent (GAE) /g fractions. However the antioxidant activity was evaluated by using phosphomolybdenum assay. The antioxidant activity of methanol extract of Aloe showed higher phosphomolybdenum reduction as 84.7 mg Tannic acid equivalent (TAE)/g compared to water and ethanol extracts. Total anthraquinone content was evaluated by using UV spectrophotometer and demonstrated that anthraquinone has an effect to acts as a potential pesticide for plants.
