Descripción

General description

Saponins are steroid or triterpenoid glycosides. They are biosurfactants that have several uses in the food and cosmetic industry.

Application

Saponin from Quillaja bark has been used:

• to stain fertilized oocytes
• in the analysis of intracellular cytokine production
• to permeabilize dendritic cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Saponins solubilize the low density lipoprotein (LDL) fraction of cholesterol in micelles, thus lowering their concentration. Saponin from Quillaja bark is used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages. This saponin has been shown to enhance immune-cell proliferation in vitro.

Potent hemolytic when injected i.v.; surfactant that enhances penetration of proteins and other macromolecules through cell membranes; it also has been used as an adjuvant for vaccines.

Preparation Note

Purified to remove low molecular weight contaminants
