The Proximate composition involves the moisture content, crude protein, crude fibre, crude fat, ash content and carbohydrate. Phytochemicals determined were Saponins, Glycosides, Cardiac glycoside, Saponin glycoside, Alkaloids, Balsams, Volatile oil, Anthraquinone, Tannin, Steroid and Flavonoids. Aloe barbadensis was found to be rich in Carbohydrate (78.88%), so it can be used as a good source of Carborhydrate. The Protein and Lipid content were found to be relatively low (0.613 and 3.5% respectively). But Aloe barbadensis can still be used as a source of Protein and Fat. It was also discovered that Phytochemicals are present in quantities of 31.067 g/100 g, 10.67 g/100 g, 25.66 g/100 g and 0.060 g/100 g for Alkaloids, Saponins, Tannins and Glycosides respectively. This is an indication of cosmetic and medicinal value of Aloe barbadensis. The Sample was also found to be a rich source of minerals. Sodium and Potassium content (10.00 and 55.00 PPM), respectively indicate the tendency of A. barbadensis to be able to regulate or control the osmotic balance of the body fluid as well as body pHs. Aloe barbadensis is also found to be rich in Phosphorus (5.69 Mg/kg), which is essential for bone formation. Magnesium (1.0 Mg/kg) is also present, which could help to lower the blood pressure. The overall data suggest that A. barbadensis has some Nutritional and Medicinal Properties. Keywords: Aloe barbadensis, Phytochemicals, Proximate analysis.
