The American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) has released its quality control standards for the botanical dietary supplement materials aloe vera leaf, aloe vera leaf juice and aloe vera inner leaf juice. Each AHP monograph establishes standards for assuring authenticity, purity, and quality control of the monographed botanical and represents one of the most comprehensive standards for aloe vera leaf juice and inner leaf juice GMP compliance in the English language. Each monograph addresses the historical use of the botanical along with multiple methods of analysis for ensuring botanical authenticity that include both physical and chemical tests appropriate for individual dispensaries or small or large companies.
The AHP monograph was supported by the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) and establishes independent standards for the identity, purity, quality, and potency of aloe vera juices that limit the concentration of potentially carcinogenic phenolic compounds (aloins) while ensuring a minimum requirement of polysaccharides, the putative beneficial constituents of the juice products. Additionally, the monograph provides detailed analytical testing methods for the detection of adulterants that appear in commercial aloe vera leaf and inner leaf juice products.
