What is the difference between Aloe Ferox and Aloe Vera and where can you get Aloe Ferox products?
A comparison of the chemical composition of Aloe feroxand Aloe vera was performed based on values available in the literature (Femenia 1999, Mabusela 1990). It must be noted, however, that concentrations tend to vary seasonally and geographically (Grindlay1986).The different monosaccharide components of the polysaccharides present in the Aloe ferox and Aloe vera gel are compared (expressed as mol%). {| |- | Monosaccharide Aloe vera Aloe ferox (gel) (gel) Rhamnose 1.69 3 Fucose 1.94 1 Arabinose 1.92 5 Xylose 2.34 13 Mannose 46.07 35 Galactose 4.97 5 Glucose 27.03 46|} Similarly, scientific tests comparing the differences between Aloe ferox and Aloe vera plants (whole leafs), growing side by side, were performed at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town, South Africa.The tests demonstrated the following:1. The freshly cut leaf of Aloe ferox produced approximately 20 times more bitter sap,weight by weight, than the Aloe vera.2. Aloe vera has a much softer and more translucent inner gel. It is also notably moremucinous.3. After extraction, the juice of the Aloe vera leaves decolourizes and loses its viscositymuch more rapidly than does the juice of Aloe ferox.4. The solids content of the juice in Aloe ferox were constantly greater in volume thanthose obtained from Aloe vera.5. The amino acid content of Aloe ferox is almost double that of Aloe vera (see table).{| |- | Amino Acids Aloe vera Aloe ferox(Whole Leaf) (Whole Leaf) Glutamic acid 4.7 2.8 Asparagine 3.29 14.47 Aspartic acid 1.75 1.41 Serine 1.27 1.69 Glycine 0.95 1.25 Alanine 0.91 1.04 Glutamine 0.83 3.82 Valine ** 0.36 0.56 Threonine ** 0.33 0.9 Proline 0.25 0.46 Lysine ** 0.18 0.08 Arginine 0.12 0.05 Leucine ** 0.09 0.12 Phenylalanine ** 0.08 0.07 Isoleucine ** 0.07 0.12 Tyrosine 0.06 0.05 Cystine 0.04 0.01 Histidine 0.03 0.02 Methionine ** 0.02 0.07 Tryptophane ** 0 0 Total Concentration (nMol/mg dry mass) 15.33 28.99Aloe ferox and Aloe vera contain 7 of the 8 essential (** in table) amino acids and all theother 12 non-essential amino acids.Similarly the mineral concentrations of Aloe vera (Femenia 1999) were compared to typicalconcentration measured in Aloe ferox (expressed as % of dry matter).Minerals Aloe vera Aloe ferox (Whole Leaf) (Whole Leaf) Calcium (Ca) 3.58 8.82 Magnesium (Mg) 1.22 1.68 Sodium (Na) 3.66 3.08 Potassium (K) 4.06 6.3 Phosphorus (P) 0.02 Iron (Fe) 0.1 0.54 Copper (Cu) 0.06 0.04 Zinc (Zn) 0.02 0.8It is evident that Aloe ferox contains a higher concentration of these minerals, which can potentially ascribed to its harvesting in its natural habitat and not in domesticated fields. As can be seen the chemical composition of Aloe verais comparable to that of Aloe ferox.---- More links on Aloe Ferox and Aloe Ferox Products Available:African Cures :: Alofe Aloe Ferox Products :: FeroxAloe.com |}
