ALOE VERA’NIN GIDA ENDÜSTRİSİNDE KULLANIMI

Öz

Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera); doğal tedavi edici özelliklerinin geniş çaptaki çeşitliliği nedeniyle, eski medeniyetler tarafından binlerce yıldır kullanılan şifalı bir bitkidir. Yanıkların tedavisinde ve yaraları iyileştirmede kullanılan Aloe vera; ayrıca çeşitli vitaminler, mineraller, amino asitler ve enzimler içeren yapısıyla besleyici özelliğe de sahiptir. Aloe vera’nın besin değeri yüksek gıda katkı maddesi olarak; gıdaların kalitesini arttırmak ve raf ömrünü uzatmak amacıyla kullanılmasının yanı sıra, doğal yenilebilir film ve kaplama materyali olarak da değerlendirildiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Aloe vera’nın gıda endüstrisinde doğal antioksidan ve antimikrobiyal madde olarak kullanımı hakkında bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmış olup, gıda sanayinde Aloe vera’nın kullanımı ile ilgili son yıllarda yapılan araştırma sonuçları derlenmiştir.
