The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ozonated Aloe Vera gel on the growth inhibition of Enterococcus faecalis according to application time. It was quasi-experimental, longitudinal and applicative. In a first instance, the Aloe Vera gel was collected. Once obtained, it was subjected to ozonation, for which the ozonation patterns of the water are taken. It was then applied to Enterococcus faecalis samples by means of diffusion disks and applied directly. The results were not very encouraging, showing inhibition halos no larger than 10 mm and 0 mm in diameter in several cases. For this reason, Aloe Vera gel was diluted in 70° alcohol and chloroform, obtaining better results. The sample consisted of Petri dishes incubated with Enterococcus faecalis, at a rate of 35 Petri dishes for each study group and application time. The gel was applied to the samples by diffusion of filter discs and by direct application. After several tests, the ozonated gel at 24 hours showed the best results with inhibition halos of 40-45 mm. In conclusion, the Ozonized Aloe Vera gel is a product that demonstrated a high effectiveness when applied on Enterococcus faecalis to extract its greatest properties, it is necessary to dilute them in 70° alcohol and chloroform, so it presents a high level on the bacteria. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar la efectividad del gel de Aloe Vera ozonizado sobre la inhibición del crecimiento de Enterococcus faecalis según tiempo de aplicación. Fue de tipo cuasi-experimental, longitudinal y aplicativo. En una primera instancia se procedió a la recolección del gel de Aloe Vera. Una vez obtenido fue sometido a ozonización, para lo cual se toman los patrones de ozonización del agua. Luego fue aplicado sobre las muestras de Enterococcus faecalis mediante discos de difusión y aplicado de manera directa, los resultados no fueron muy alentadores mostrando halos de inhibición no mayores a 10 mm y 0 mm de diámetro en varios casos. Por este motivo el gel de Aloe Vera fue diluido en alcohol de 70° y cloroformo obteniendo mejores resultados. La muestra estuvo constituida por placas Petri incubadas con Enterococcus faecalis, a razón de 35 placas Petri por cada grupo de estudio y tiempo de aplicación. Se aplicó el gel sobre las muestras mediante difusión de discos de filtro y por aplicación directa, tras varias pruebas el gel ozonizado a 24 horas mostró los mejores resultados con halos de inhibición de 40-45 mm. En conclusión, el gel de Aloe Vera Ozonizado es un producto que demostró una efectividad alta al ser aplicado sobre Enterococcus faecalis para lograr extraer sus mayores propiedades es necesario diluirlos en alcohol de 70° y cloroformo, por lo que presenta un nivel alto sobre la bacteria.

New Perspectives on Aloe will cover research studies of aloe by the CAP (Creation Aloe Pharmaceuticals) team, which studied various aspects of aloe over a period of more than 10 years. The team was organized into two groups: the isolation and analysis group, which purified many components in terms of low molecular weight compounds, carbohydrates, proteins present in aloe, and the assay group, which determined the efficacy of those components. This type of target-oriented, organized research provides a model of how to conduct multidisciplinary research. The contents include a brief introduction of aloe, isolation, purification, and structural analysis of components, and various physiological effects of those components for possible use as health foods or drugs. Various functions identified were wound healing, angiogenesis, anti-allergy, skin whitening, stimulation of cell proliferation such as liver or kidney, protection against nephrotoxicity, and immune modulation. Moreover, we suggest standardization and quality control procedures for manufacturing raw aloe, and how to develop related products for successful application of aloe. This is important in Korea because last year the Korean government listed aloe as a health food for which the government establishes regulatory laws. Therefore, many scientists in Korea who are interested in studying health foods would be interested in this kind of text. Other major fields related to this kind of research will be medicine, biology, pharmaceutics, natural products and analytics.

Microgreens garner immense potential for improving the nutrition of the human diet, considering their high content of healthy compounds. On the other hand, they are becoming known not only for their nutritional value but also for their interesting organoleptic traits and commercial potential. In this Special Issue we aim to publish high-quality research papers covering the state-of-the-art, recent progress and perspectives related to production, post-harvest, characterization, and the potential of microgreens. A broad range of aspects such as cultivation, post-harvest techniques and packaging, analytical methods, nutritional value, bioaccessibility and prospects are covered. All contributions are of great significance and could stimulate further research in this area.
