This research focuses on the physicochemical characteristic of fermentation of Aloe Saponaria. The fermentation process applied in this study had 2 variation, depends on the aloe part as the materials (bottom, middle, and tip) and the initial sugar content (24% and 0%) used. Tests are conducted using uinkin fermented powder, sugar, salt, and distilled water as fermenting agent. The results indicate that change in physicochemical properties of aloe's skin was larger than in aloe's gel as fermentation materials. In contrast, there was no significant change in aloe's leaf during the process. A lso, aloes with intial sugar condition of 24% show better results than which without sugar addition in fermentation.
