Background: Aloe vera has a long antiquity as a medicinal herb with varied therapeutic applications. It has been used as remedies in different form as gel, Elva, juice etc. Among the different forms, Elva is found to be as a constituent in several Ayurvedic formulations but still its standard operating procedure is not mentioned yet. Aim was to develops a standard operating procedure for Elva by preparing it with two different methods.
Methods: The study was carried out by preparing Elva with two different methods, first by water extract (Elva sample I) of aloe vera leaves and secondly by pulp (Elva sample II) of the same.
Results: Elva sample I and II have 4.65% and 2.2% yield respectively. Also, by HPTLC identification, Elva sample I found to be more genuine by taking British Pharmacopoeia as reference standard.
Conclusions: Elva sample I have comparatively better yield and found to be more acceptable by HPTLC.
