Saponins: Properties, Applications and Processing (2007, background): “The toxicity of saponins to insects (insecticidal activity), parasite worms (anthelmintic activity), molluscs (molluscicidal), and fish (piscidal activity) and their antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial activity are well documented (Lacaille-Dubois and Wagner, 1996; Milgate and Roberts, 1995; Fr”
Use of phytogenic products as feed additives for swine and poultry. (2008, background): “, from Yucca schidigera) are proposed to reduce intestinal ammonia formation, and thus aerial pollution of housing environment, which is considered an important health stress, especially for young animals (Francis et al., 2002).”
Novel advances with plant saponins as natural insecticides to control pest insects (2007, background): “Saponins are known to have noticeable effects on each of these groups; but those have been described elsewhere (for a review, see Francis et al. 2002; Sparg et al. 2004; Tava and Avato 2006).”
Antimicrobial activity of plant-food by-products: A review focusing on the tropics (2016, background): “These impede protein digestion as well as vitamin and mineral uptake in the gut, leading also to hypoglycaemia, and they can act as antifungal and antiviral agents, affecting animals in both positive and negative ways (Price et al., 1987; Francis et al., 2002; Sparg, 2004).”
Influence of environmental biotic factors on the content of saponins in plants (2011, background): “Huge research was made on the harmful or beneficial impact of plant saponins on living organisms (Lacaille-Dubois and Wagner 1996; Francis et al. 2002; Sparg et al. 2004), however, currently also the opposite influence is studied.”
Saponin-Based, Biological-Active Surfactants from Plants (2017, neutral): “They have been included in a large group of protective molecules found in plants named ‘phytoanticipins’ or ‘phytoprotectants’ [7].”
Effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal on growth performance, apparent digestibility, digestive organ size and carcass yield in broiler chickens (2014, neutral): “oleifera leaves (Francis et al., 2002).”
