Abstract

Highlights: [•] Markets for Aloe leaf mesophyll or ‘gel’ are expanding in Africa. [•] We analysed leaf mesophyll monosaccharides in 31 species of Aloe and related genera. [•] Glucose, mannose and xylose are the most common monosaccharides in most species. [•] The phylogeny of Aloe is the best predictor of a species’ monosaccharides profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
