APPLICATION OF ALOE VERA PECTIN FOR SUBMICRON CURCUMIN ENCAPSULATION

Abstract

With the development trend, aloe vera is more concentrated and applied research in many fields such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other industrial purposes. In this report, pectins from Aloe vera is surrounded submicron curcumin. They are mixed with suitable aloe vera solution ratio, adding lecithin surfactant and agent gelled Ca(OH)2. Features of the system submicron pectin curcumin was evaluated through the method of determining particle size LDS
(Laser Diffraction Spectrometry).
Keywords: aloe vera, curcumin, applications of pectin, properties pectin.
