Aloe vera is a medicinal plant used worldwide to treat a variety of conditions and, as such, has important commercial value. Aloin is a principal component of aloe vera leaves and is used for quality control of products containing it. A semiquantitative thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) method for determining the concentration of aloin in aloe-based products was validated. The results were similar to those of a validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method; therefore, TLC, which is a simple, sensitive, specific, rapid, and cheap method, may be ideal for use in any laboratory for routine analysis of commercial products containing aloe vera.
芦荟是一种在全球范围内用于治疗多种病症的药用植物，因此具有重要的商业价值。芦荟素是芦荟叶的主要成分，用于含芦荟素产品的质量控制。一种用于测定芦荟基产品中芦荟素浓度的半定量薄层色谱（TLC）方法得到了验证。结果与经过验证的高效液相色谱法的结果相似；因此，TLC作为一种简单、灵敏、特异、快速且廉价的方法，可能非常适合在任何实验室用于对含芦荟的商业产品进行常规分析。
