Abstract
Saponins have been studied for more than four decades, and their relevance is due to their numerous biological and chemical activities. Indeed, saponins are attracting attention for their industrial exploitation in connection with their pharmacological properties. Saponins also find many applications in the food and cosmetics industries due to their foaming and emulsifying properties. On the other hand, depending on the type of saponin, the species that ingest it, and the context, they are more or less toxic to the body. This article describes a number of investigations work carried out on saponins to determine the impact of saponins on health.
期刊介绍:
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience, bioscience and applied chemistry. Submissions are solicited in all topical areas, ranging from basic aspects of the science materials to practical applications of such materials. With 6 issues per year, the first one published on the 15th of February of 2011, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an open-access journal, making all research results freely available online. The aim is to publish original papers, short communications as well as review papers highlighting interdisciplinary research, the potential applications of the molecules and materials in the bio-field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
