In response to increasing natural surfactant demand and environmental concerns, natural
plant-based surfactants have been replacing synthetic ones. Saponins belong to a class of …

Saponins are a group of compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Due to their
amphiphilic characteristic structure, saponins have high surface activity and self-assembly …

Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn., also called the washnut, is a tropical tree of the Sapindaceae

Because of their hydrophilic tendencies, the modification of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is
needed for applying them as a hydrophobic drug carrier. Previous studies have investigated …

This review discusses recent progress in physicochemical understanding of the action of the
saponin β-aescin (also called β-escin), the biologically active component in the seeds of the …

Saponins are plant based biosurfactants that are obtained from a wide variety of plant
species. They are surface active glycosides with a hydrophobic group, which is commonly a …

Saponins are a diverse group of compounds (triterpenoid and steroid glycosides), widely
