Research and Application of Plant-derived Saponins
Saponins are a class of glycosides in which aglycones are triterpenoids or spiral steranes.They are regarded as common active ingredients and have important nutritional value,such as bacteriostasis,anti-tumor,hypoglycemic,and regulation of intestinal flora.At the same time,saponins also have many limitations,such as hemolysis,organ toxicity,low bioavailability,strong tissue irritation,which greatly limits the application of saponins in functional foods.At pre-sent,some methods are used to improve these problems.This paper reviewed the research progress of common plant-de-rived saponins in recent years.Based on their classification and structural analysis,this paper introduced their physiolog-ical activities,limitations of clinical application and solutions,aiming to provide theoretical basis for the application of plant-derived saponins in disease prevention and treatment.
