Aloe vera for Clean‐Label Innovation

“

Market data reflect strong consumer demand for natural ingredients, and the plant‐based preservatives segment is expanding rapidly. Plant extracts and essential oils are increasingly used as generally recognised as safe (GRAS) natural preservatives and active‐packaging components to control the release of antimicrobials /antioxidants into the food microenvironment. Our literature presents Aloe vera's functional food applications, its food preservation efficacy with regulatory safety and analytical standardization. Importantly, we present its translational readiness (TRL) considerations relevant to real‐world food systems. A. vera‐based edible coatings and formulations have been presented in alignment with evolving regulatory positions across major jurisdictions.
