Patent ID: 8507016

Claim:
A method for producing aloe powder, wherein a molecular weight of polysaccharides contained in the aloe powder is 3,000,000 dalton or more, and wherein an aloin content ratio of the aloe powder is not more than 25 ppm, characterized in that said method comprises the steps of: immersing a gel of aloe vera in water for a time period of 16-28 hours, wherein the gel of aloe vera is in either a state where only a skin of the aloe vera is removed, or in a state where the skin is removed and the gel of aloe vera is divided into pieces, without crushing and agitating the gel of aloe vera, thereby reducing the aloin content ratio of the gel of aloe vera to not more than 25 ppm; drying said gel of aloe vera under a reduced pressure of 4 kPa to obtain a dried gel of aloe vera; and crushing said dried gel of aloe vera to obtain aloe powder having a molecular weight of 3,000,000 dalton or more.
