This is the first comprehensive monograph to look in depth at
saponins. Saponins are glycosides of triterpenes, steroids or
steroid alkaloids which have a very wide distribution in plants and
some marine organisms. Their biological activity includes
haemolysis and fish poisoning, and the steroid saponins are
essential for the manufacture of oral contraceptives and sex
hormones. Saponins have also been exploited commercially as soap
substitutes and in several other industrial applications. This book
gives detailed information on the occurrence and distribution of
saponins, their structural types, isolation, analysis and structure
determination. Biological and pharmacological activities are
discussed, as are aspects of commercial and industrial use. The
volume provides a valuable source of data for the different classes
of compound and includes and extensive list of references.
