SMPR of Aloe Identification Key Points

Selectivity

100% correct identification of  acetylated glucomannan  polysaccharides derived from Aloe  vera  in the presence or absence of  potential adulterants listed in table  3.*

Selectivity  Study

*100% correct analyses are expected. Some aberrations may be acceptable if the  aberrations are investigated, and acceptable explanations can be determined  and communicated to method users.

SMPR of Aloe Polysaccharide Quantitation Key Points • Quantitation of water soluble Aloe vera  polysaccharides and the following organic acids  (acetic acid, lactic acid, malic acid and isocitric acid)    including the matrix(es) in which the polysaccharides  and the acids are found); • Any analytical technique that meets the method  performance requirements is acceptable;   • It is expected that more than one technique will be  required; • May require developing aloe polysaccharide  standards for quantitation;
