Aloe vera leaves were dried at different temperatures in hot air oven and powdered. The percent powder yield was found 2.60%, 2.60%, 2.55% and 2.52% at 50, 60, 70 and 80°C respectively. Powder samples had the pH (1% solution) 3.51, 3.53, 3.52 and 3.53 with the rise of drying temperature in the selected range. Statistically, yield and pH indicated no significant difference (p<0.5) due to drying temperature variation. Wettability of powder at 70°C was 32s as compared to 35, 35 and 37s in the samples obtained at 50, 60 and 80°C respectively. Water absorption capacity of powder at 70°C was 359% as compare to 351%, 354% and 356% of 50, 60, and 80°C powder samples. The HPLC chromatogram obtained for the sample dried at 80°C shows that as the temperature increased from 50 to 80°C, aloin content decreased from 10.6 to 1.7ppm. The “a” values were found 2.028, 2.226, −0.282 and 2.531 for the samples obtained after drying at 50, 60, 70 and 80°C respectively. Samples obtained at 70°C showed negative “a” value indicated that the sample was more greenish in colour as compared to other samples.
