Saponaria officinalis L. extract: Surface active properties and impact on environmental bacterial strains
Abstract
An extract from Saponaria officinalis containing saponins (gypsogenin, hederagenin, hydroxyhederagenin and quillaic acid aglycones) demonstrated good emulsification properties and modified bacterial cell-surface properties, decreasing hydrophobicity and increasing membrane permeability, characterising soapwort's natural-surfactant activity.
