Abstract
An Aloe vera extract is provided that can be safely ingested and, can be used as a food material for treating lifestyle diseases such as hyperglycemia. The Aloe vera extract contains an extremely low level of an anthraquinone (anthraquinone-based compound), and can be added to foods. The Aloe vera extract is produced by a supercritical fluid extraction method and contains a mixture of a cyclolanostane compound and a lophenol compound in an amount of 1.0% by mass or more. The mass mixing ratio of cyclolanostane compound:lophenol compound is 5.1:4.9 to 6.3:2.7 and/or the content of an anthraquinone-based compound is 0.001% by mass or less.
