Question

Difference between triterpenoidal and steroidal saponin

Answer 1

Answer:

TRITERPENOID AND STEROIDAL SAPONINS. ... Because of the large size of the saponin molecules, what results is that one end of the molecule (where the glycone is attached) is hydrophilic and the other end (the head of the aglycone) is hydrophobic. As a result of this, saponins act as emulsifying agents and detergents.

Answer 2

Answer:

Triterpenoidal Saponin are pentacyclic molecules that are ultimately synthesis from isoprene.

Steroidal Saponin are tetracyclic molecules that are ultimately synthesized from acetyl enzyme.
