20229 citationsOpen accessAbdelmalek Essaâdi University

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.
