Abstract
Extractions of Aloe vera chloroform and water were processed to measure the biochemical yields to identify their main constituents of active compounds. By using soxhlet obtained yields for chloroform extraction was 8.4% while the aqueous extract was 5.5%. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, carbohydrates and alkaloids while saponins, antiquinones, glycosides and steroids been absent. The occurrence of these biologically active chemicals in A. vera may justify their wide usage in traditional and advanced medicine
