    Hi, I was wondering if I could get some insight on my research idea, which is whether or not aloe vera plants lose vitamins or antioxidants when they get put into powder form

    Answer

    Dear jou749, powdered items have vastly increased surface area for light, heat, and oxygen to react with vitamins and antioxidants. There is little doubt that powdering would have some affect in this arena. I'm sure if you do a web search on research articles you will find studies on this supporting your idea. Best wishes.
