Saponins are a class of naturally occurring compounds found abundantly in various plant species. These compounds are characterized by their soap-like properties, which allow them to form stable foams in aqueous solutions. Saponins are glycosides with a distinctive structure consisting of a sugar moiety linked to a triterpenoid or steroidal aglycone. Due to their unique chemical composition, saponins have been studied for their diverse biological activities and potential health benefits.
