Glycosides

GLYCOSIDES

Objective

• To extract saponins form the ginseng

root and determine a few of its

physical and chemical properties

Short info about

Sennosides

Glycosides happen to be

compounds that yield one

or more sugars and a non-sugar aspect as the

products with their

hydrolysis.

• Simply, glycosides are called glucose ethers.

• When sennosides undergo hydrolysis, they will develop 2

parts: the aglycone or genin and a glycone.

• Agyclone – non-sugar part

• Glycone – glucose component

• Glycosides enjoy an important function in the life of the herb and these types of roles will be:

REGULATORY, PROTECTING and SANTIARY functions

What are

Saponins?

• Saponins are glycosides

that form colloidal

alternatives in normal water that

polyurethane foam upon nervous-looking.

• They have a bitter, penetrating

taste and they are generally

irritating for the mucous

membrane layer.

• They will destroy reddish blood

skin cells by hemolysis.

• They may be mostly used since

fish harmful toxins.

• Upon hydrolysis, that they yield an aglycone regarded

as a " sapogenin”.

• The sapogenin may be of two chemical substance classes:

• Steroidal – neutral saponin (on pH)

• Triterpenoid – acid saponin (on pH)

• Generally, saponins are lipophilic because they

have many carbon atoms that

varies from C27 to C30.
