Abstract

Aloe vera juice containing pellets are formed by a dispersion of aloe vera juice in a matrix, principally comprising a skeleton builder namely collagen, gelatin, fractionated gelatin, a collagen hydrolysate, gelatin derivative, plant proteins, or plant protein hydrolysates. They are shelf stable and their cosmetic as well as pharmacological properties are substantially unchanged in comparison to the native extracts. They may be produced by a simple process in which a solution of the skeleton former is mixed with aloe vera juice extract, the dispersion of the skeleton former and the aloe vera juice into a very cold inert fluid, suitably liquid nitrogen, to form the pellets and the thus formed pellets dried.
