Abstract: In Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine the leaf of Ghritkumari has been extensively used as a cathartic agent to treat severe stomach constipation. The aloe vera plant is used as food supplement and also used in cosmetic products to treat different skin problems. In order to develop reliable quality control marker to check its potential toxicity and carcinogenic activity and to check the commercial samples of Aloe vera for authenticity and purity, UV Spectroscopy analysis has been done. It has been found that aloin is present in a few commercial samples. HPLC, Infra-Red and thin layer chromatography methods have been reported for aloin determination in commercial samples. Therefore, UV Spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of aloin in commercial formulations.
