I have attached here PDF of some papers related to its uses.

For uses of flowers [if any] you kindly check Wealth of India Volume 1 revised edition. In my opinion it is one of the finest documentation. If you do not have this publication, let me know  I will check for you next week..

You should research on chemical constituent of aloevera flower then developed product accordingly. I think based on my knowledge aloevera leaves are more expensive and valuable than flower.

I have heard that markets are selling 'Aloe Vera + Honey' product here, but I wonder whether there is an 'Aloe Vera' honey, made directly from their flowers.....

Dear respected scholar,

Thank you so much Prof Dr Anoop Kumar Srivastava, Prof Dr Subir Bandyopadhyay, Dr Abhishek, Anup as well as Prof Dr Yuan-Yeu Yau for sharing the important information taking your valuable time. I was quite new to see the flower of Aloe Vera and interested to know how it can be utilized.  Prof Subir I do not have that book, please check and share here for the wider knowledge if electronic version of this book is available.

Regards

Hom

I will send you the PDF of the pages next week. This week I am on leave because of Durga Puja.

I checked Wealth of India, Volume 1, revised edition 1985 today. There is only a small piece of information: In Gujarat flower stalks are pickled (page 193).

Hello . This type in the picture is not Aloe Vera

Dear Dr Dahan, I am not sure what you are saying. It looks like Aloe Vera. I have first time seen the its flowers. The flower in my Pot a little bit different in color than shared by Dr Yau.
