New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre? (2010, background): “Saponins have a wide range of biological activities (about fifty are listed by Güçlü-Üstündag & Mazza(370)), such as anticarcinogenic and hypocholesterolaemic(374), stimulation of the immune system(375,376) and cholesterol-lowering(377).”
Dietary Phytochemicals and Microbes (2012, background): “Different extraction procedures and storage may affect the antimicrobial action of saponins probably due to chemical transformation of saponins (Guclu-Ustundag and Mazza 2007 ) .”
Influence of environmental biotic factors on the content of saponins in plants (2011, background): “…by their structure containing a steroidal or triterpene aglycone and one or more sugar chains (Hostettmann and Marston 1995; Osbourn 2003; Güçlü-Üstündağ and Mazza 2007; Vincken et al. 2007), occur constitutively in many plants and, everting various biological activities, may be…”
