How Saponin Have The Ability Of Generate Stable Foam

Saponin have the ability to generate stable foam because of their amphiphilic nature (Moghimipour et al., 2014),this confirmed Our results which showed that, a stable persistent froth was observed when extract shaken with water. The present study showed that thin layer chromatography (TLC) of extracted saponin from sea cucumber, Holothuria thomasi has one type of saponin. our results were in agreement with Amini et al.,(2014) who isolated saponin from Persian Gulf brittle star, Ophiocoma erinaceus and also, Hussien and Awad ( 2014) who isolated one type of triterpenoid saponin of hederacoside C .Moreover, Abraham et al.,(2002)isolated different types of saponin with RF values of 0.47,0.67, 0.65,0.77 and 0.73 from different species of sea cucumber, Actinopyga echinites, A. miliaris, Holothuria atra and H. scabra holothurian extracts have been reported to contain 25 or more glycosides, all derivatives of saponin(Sarma et al.,1987). The identification of hydroxyl, alkyl, ether and ester groups of isolated triterpenoid saponin hederacoside C in the FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of saponin (Hussien and Awad, 2014; Amini et al.,2014).These confirmed our obtained data which showed that, a long sharp peak at 3400.10 cm-1 indicates the presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH), and the peak at 2928.85 cm-1 represents alkyl groups (C-H), C=C at 1408, C=O stretching of carbonyl group at 1641 sharp beak and Oligosaccharide linkage absorption to sapogenins, that is C-O-C wereShow MoreRelatedHow Saponin Have The Ability Of Generate Stable Foam Because Of Their Amphiphilic Nature Essay1473 Words   |  6 PagesDISCUSSION Saponin have the ability to generate stable foam because of their amphiphilic nature (Moghimipour et al., 2014),this confirmed Our results which showed that, a stable persistent froth was observed when extract shaken with water. From the results of Fig.(1),thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) of extracted saponin indicated that, sea cucumber, Holothuria thomasi has one type of saponin. our results were in agreement with Amini et al.,(2014) who isolated saponin from Persian Gulf brittle star
