Harvesting:
While harvesting may not sound like a very important step in many natural products it sure is with Aloe Vera. Not only do you need to harvest at the right time, but the method of harvesting is also critical. Each leaf is harvested by hand and must be nicked and pulled carefully from the mother plant so as not to break the rind. Properly taken, the leaves will naturally seal themselves within a short period and the inside gel will not be exposed to oxidation or contamination. Processing plants are close to the fields which insures that the leaves will be fresher and will suffer far less bruises and other damage that can occur in transporting. Some processing companies spend several days getting their leaves to the processing plant while the aloe in Miessence is processed within a day.
Processing:
Our supplier has invested in special equipment, some that they have developed themselves, to apply as little heat to the Aloe Vera as possible in all of their processing, knowing that heat will break down some of the bio-active components. Miessence aloe supplier has invested in state of the art equipment so they can process liquid concentrate at lower temperatures to ensure that the Aloe retains as much of its natural polysaccharide profile as possible. This state of the art equipment also includes machinery to speed the processing, lessening the natural degradation of this organic product.
