Introduction | saponin, also known as "saponin", "glucoside", is the plant kingdom (Rosaceae, Caryophyllaceae, dioscoreae, etc.) widely distributed a class of complex structure of glycoside compounds (glycoside). Its aqueous solution can produce a permanent foam similar to soap liquid, so called. According to the basic chemical structure of sapogenin produced after the hydrolysis of saponin (sapogenin), generally can be divided into steroidal saponin (exists in the plants of the Digitalis family, has a strong heart effect) and triterpenoid saponin (exists in the soap root, soap skin, no cardiotonic effect) two kinds. |
Application | , daily chemical used as emulsifier, detergent, foaming agent, also used in pharmaceutical.|
preparation | a process method for cleaner production of saponin from Dioscorea zingiberensis, which is realized by the following process steps:(1) pretreatment of raw materials: the yellow ginger is washed, crushed with a crusher, and then ground with a mill to form a slurry, so that the particles in the slurry reach 30 mesh, and the mass percentage concentration is 30%;(2) extract saponin slurry: the starch was separated by a variable frequency differential horizontal screw discharge sedimentation centrifuge to obtain saponin slurry. (3) the saponin slurry was placed at room temperature for 36 hours of natural fermentation. Acid hydrolysis: the fermented saponin slurry is put into the hydrolysis tank, acid hydrolysis is carried out with sulfuric acid, and the pressure is controlled at 0.2MPa to obtain the hydrolyzed saponin slurry;(5) Acid washing and water removal: Acid washing and water removal are carried out on the filter press to obtain filter residue; At the same time, sewage is produced;(6) drying: the filter residue is put into a vacuum dryer with steam through the interlayer for drying, and the water content of the filter residue is controlled at 3-5%;(7) the dried filter residue is put into an extraction tank, and 120 gasoline is added, the mass ratio of saponin slurry to gasoline is 5:6, heated to 90 degrees Celsius, and the extraction time is 2 hours to obtain the saponin gasoline mixture; At the same time, the insoluble fiber is separated;(8) the saponin gasoline mixture is concentrated and crystallized to obtain a finished product;(9) the sewage produced in step (5) is discharged into the neutralization tank and reacted with lime, and then enters the electrolytic device for electrolysis, and then into the hydrolysis anaerobic tank for anaerobic biological treatment, Then it enters into three push-flow aeration tanks used in series for biological reaction treatment, and finally enters the sedimentation tank for precipitation. The treated water is completely up to standard, and is recycled for step (1). Neutralization in step (5). |
Application | application in light industry, chemical industry, pesticide, feed, breeding, textile, oil extraction, mining, building materials and highway construction and other fields saponin can be used for the determination of blood oxygen capacity and oxygen content in clinical tests; The Flame Atomic Absorption spectrophotometric determination of metal in milk detergent; the tumor cells were found in the blood around the white blood cells by electron counting. A secondary metabolite that facilitates the penetration of proteins through cell membranes. It is used as emulsifier, foaming agent and preservative, and is also an intermediate in the manufacture of steroid hormone drugs. Saponin is an amphiphilic glycoside and surfactant. |
