	  abstract     = {Aloe vera has been used worldwide both for
pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to the plethora of
biological activities of some of its metabolites. The aim of this study
was to evaluate the antifungal and antioxidant activities of the leaf
extract. The antifungal activity was determined by the agar-well
diffusion method against plant and human fungal pathogens. The
methanol and ethanol portions of the extracts studied were more
bioactive than ethyl acetate portion. It was also observed that the
activity was more pronounced on plant pathogen than human
pathogen except Candida albicans. This is an indication that the
extract has the potential to treat plant fungal infections. The Aloe
extract showed the significant antioxidant activity by the DPPH
radical scavenging method. Therefore, the Aloe extract provided as
natural antioxidant has been used in health foods for medical and
preservative purposes.},
