Abstract
This study was carried out to purify and to characterize various bioactive material acemannan from Aloe vera. Purified acemannan was mannose (67%) and acetyl group (23%), and the rest of glucose was galactose that consists of long chain polydispered beta-(1, 4) linked mannan polymers. The sugar and acetyl group in the molecule were linked by molar ratio of 3 : 1. This polysaccharide from Aloe vera may provide functional flood and potential drug source with antiviral and immunomodulating properties.
