Abstract

Aloe barbadensis (aloe-vera) also famous as a first aid plant is a valuable natural medicine. Its leaves have parallel venation that contains a soothing thick gel inside it and is useful for treatment and curing of wounds and diseases. In this paper, investigations were carried out to study the effect of dc and ac resistances of the aloe barbadensis leaves. The resistance of the leaf measured shows a proportional change with the change in the length of the leaf. The resistance of the leaf tissue increases with the increased distance between the electrodes due to circumvent current path. Both, fresh and the dry leaf of a aloe barbadensis plant was taken for the investigations. For fresh leaf, the dc resistance increases steeply along the length of a leaf while ac resistance comparatively shows a very slow increase in resistance, where as the results verified some fascinating changes in resistance as the leaf dried up.
