Aloe Vera processing · Kenya
Low heat for fragile polysaccharides.
Aloe’s commercial value sits in heat-sensitive polysaccharides that conventional drying degrades, and open-air processing introduces contamination.
Processing challenges
- Commercial value sits in heat-sensitive polysaccharides.
- Open-air processing introduces contamination into a cosmetic/nutraceutical product.
- Traditional methods are labour-intensive and variable.
- International buyers apply strict specifications.
System configuration
- Low-temperature 30–45 °C operation preserving bioactive polysaccharides.
- Food-grade hygienic construction preventing contamination.
- Enclosed environment excluding airborne impurities.
- Solar-hybrid options for sustainable operation.
- Process documentation supporting client regulatory submissions.
Product applications
- Whole leaf — complete-plant utilisation with fibre separation, ground for bulk ingredient supply.
- Gel processing — rapid stabilisation, aloin management, polysaccharide preservation.
- Cosmetic ingredient grade — ultra-clean processing with colour consistency.
Outcomes
- Polysaccharide and bioactive retention.
- Microbial counts reduced to demanding thresholds.
- Reduced labour and processing time.
- Consistent international-spec quality with certification documentation.
