The History of Makassan Trepang Fishing and Trade

The Malayan term trepang describes a variety of edible holothurians commonly known as sea cucumbers. Although found in temperate and tropical marine waters all over the world, the centre of species diversity and abundance are the shallow coastal waters of Island Southeast Asia. For at least 300 years, trepang has been a highly priced commodity in the Chinese market. Originally, its fishing and ...

A Rapid Method to Analyze Saponin Precursors in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)

A rapid and efficient analytical method was developed to distinguish and to quantify two major saponin precursors in soybeans; soyasapogenol A, contributing to the undesirable sensory characteristics, and soyasapogenol B, representing group B and E saponins, which have chemoprotective properties. Aqueous ethanolic extraction (80 % v/v) yielded the highest recovery of saponin from finely ground ...

Saponin: Properties, Methods of Evaluation and Applications

Saponins are secondary metabolites with high molecular weight. They present in a wide range of plant species and are distributed throughout the bark, leaves, stems, roots and even flowers. Saponins are bitter in taste and in recent years, they have received considerable attention because of their various biological activities including hepatoprotective, anti-ulcer, anti-tumor, antimicrobial, ad...

Preparation and characterization of PLGA nanospheres loaded with inactivated influenza virus, CpG-ODN and Quillaja saponin

  Objective(s): The purpose of this study was preparation and evaluation of PLGA nanospheres containing the influenza virus and different adjuvants, Quillaja saponin (QS) and CpG-ODN.   Materials and Methods: Nanospheres were prepared using the double emulsion-solvent evaporation method.
