Medical uses
Saponinsare being promoted commercially as dietary supplements and nutriceuticals.There is evidence of the presence of saponins in traditional medicinepreparations, where oral administrations might be expected to lead tohydrolysis of glycoside from terpenoid (and obviation of any toxicityassociated with the intact molecule).
Usein animal feeding
Saponinsare used widely for their effects on ammonia emissions in animal feeding.Themode of action seems to be an inhibition of the urease enzyme, which splits upexcreted urea in feces into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Animal trials haveshown that a reduced ammonia level in farming operations causes less damages tothe respiratory tract of animals, and may help to make them less vulnerable todiseases.Foodchem International Corporation, located in Shanghai City, is specialized in manufacturing and supplying food additives and food ingredients.
