Effect of UV-C radiation on chemical profile and pharmaceutical application in vitro of Aloe vera oil.

ABSTRACT: The uncontrolled exposure to ultra violet (UV) radiation have many adverse impacts on human health. UV could be divided into three main classes according to wave length range where UV-C (200-280) is one of these classes. Aloe vera oil is a common product in markets with many cosmetic and medicinal applications. The purpose of this investigation is to expose the oil to UV-C at a dose of 17.0 mJ/cm² (254 nm) for 0, 30, and 60 min to examine the impact of change of exposure periods on the alteration in chemical composition of Aloe vera oil as well as its various biological activities. GC-MS examination of various oil forms reveled the proportional elevation in the number of compounds in the oil with increasing time of exposure to UV-C where linoleic acid ethyl ester and ethyl oleat
