Saponins are natural detergents found in many plants. Saponins have detergent or surfactant properties because they contain both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. They consist of a fat-soluble nucleus, having either a steroid or triterpenoid structure, with one or more side chains of water-soluble carbohydrates (Figure 1).

Saponins: Properties, Applications and Processing
TLDR
This review provides an update on the sources, properties, and applications of saponins with special focus on their extraction and purification, and is the recent literature on the effect of processing on saponin structure/properties and the extraction and Purification of sapogenins.
Saponins and Phenolics of Yucca schidigera Roezl: Chemistry and Bioactivity
Yucca schidigera (Agavaceae) is one of the major commercial source of steroidal saponins. Two products of yucca are available on the market. These include dried and finely powdered logs (yucca…
Steroidal saponins from the stem of Yucca elephantipes.
Furostanol saponins from Yucca gloriosa L. rhizomes
TLC fingerprint of phenolics and saponins in commercial extracts of Yucca schidigera Roezl.
TLDR
A method to obtain unique fingerprints of commercial products of yucca using a single-thin layer chromatography (TLC) system and two visualization reagents for the detection of phenolics and saponins, as a tool for the preliminary quality assessment of the products.
Secondary Metabolites of Saponin and Tanin in Trembesi (Samanea saman) and Potential as Ruminant Feed
The purpose of this study was to examine the content of secondary metabolites of saponins and tannins in Trembesi (Samanea saman) plants so that their potential as ruminant animal feed could be…
TRITERPENOID SAPONINS: A REVIEW ON BIOSYNTHESIS, APPLICATIONS AND MECHANISM OF THEIR ACTION
TLDR
The review discusses the biomedical and pharmaceutical importance of triterpenoid saponins as they possess different activities including antimicrobial, haemolytic, hypolipidemic, immunomodulating and cytotoxic activities.
Saponin in Poultry and Monogastric Animals: A Review
TLDR
The present review had made an attempt to compile the information’s on one of the important PSMs, saponin in poultry production, which is becoming very popular practice now days.
Saponins: Effects on Rumen Microbial Ecosystem and Metabolism in the Rumen
Saponins are triterpene and steroidal glycoside compounds in which aglycone (sapogenins) are attached to one or more sugar moieties. They are polar compounds and have great diversity in their…

Effect of quillaja saponins on in vitro rumen fermentation.
TLDR
This work investigated effects of quillaja bark saponin on rumen fermentation characteristics using the Hohenheim in vitro gas method to investigate effects of saponins among antinutritional factors.
Antimicrobial Saponins of Yucca schidigera and the Implications of Their in Vitro Properties for Their in Vivo Impact
TLDR
Although these saponins inhibited microbial growth at low cell densities, their impact was associated with adsorption to the microbes and they had no effect on dense microbial populations.
IN VITRO STUDIES ON SAPONIN‐MINERAL COMPLEXATION
The possibility that certain saponins produce growth depression by complexing minerals was studied. Saponins tested included digitonin, ammoniated glycyrrhizin, quillaja saponin and…

The Effects of saponins from Sapindus Rarakfruit on rumen microbes and host animal growth
TLDR
Feeding treatments were conducted for 14 weeks including 2 weekadaptation period and rumen liquor of all animals were collected in the third week and measured.
Effect of Quillaja saponaria saponins and Yucca schidigera plant extract on growth of Escherichia coli
TLDR
The results suggest that quillaja sap onins from various sources differ in their biological activity, although all three saponins had the same content of vanillin‐sulphuric acid reactive moieties.
Degradation of quillaja saponins by mixed culture of rumen microbes
TLDR
The content of QS did not decline when incubated for 24 h in the medium containing autoclavedrumen liquor, suggesting that rumen microbes have enzyme(s) capable of degrading QS, and its beneficial effects mediated by binding to ammonia is studied.
Effects of Fractions Containing Saponins from Yucca schidigera, Quillaja saponaria, and Acacia auriculoformis on Rumen Fermentation

Saponins as anticarcinogens.
TLDR
Electron microscopy indicated that soybean and gysophilla saponin alter cell morphology and interact with the cell membrane in different ways, and soybean saponins did not increase cell membrane permeability in a dose-dependent fashion, whereas gypsophilla Saponin, a nondietary sap onin, increased permeability with increasing concentrations.
