Saponins Analysis Services

Saponins are a diverse group of secondary metabolites widely found in plants and certain marine organisms, recognized for their characteristic foaming properties and notable biological activities. With amphiphilic structures composed of a hydrophobic aglycone linked to one or more hydrophilic sugar chains, saponins contribute to plant defense mechanisms and hold significant value in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries.

At Alfa Chemistry, we offer comprehensive saponins analysis services designed to accurately identify, quantify, and characterize saponins from complex matrices. Backed by advanced instrumentation and an experienced analytical team, our platform delivers dependable analytical results to support research, product innovation, and quality assurance.

Analytical Capabilities

Our saponin analysis combines modern chromatographic and spectrometric techniques to achieve high sensitivity and precision:

  • Qualitative and Quantitative Determination – High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) enable detailed profiling and quantification.
  • Structural Characterization – LC–MS/MS, ESI–MS, and NMR spectroscopy reveal molecular structures and distinguish between triterpenoid and steroidal saponins.
  • Sample Preparation Optimization – Customized extraction and purification workflows adapted to different sample types such as roots, leaves, seeds, and plant extracts.
  • Comprehensive Data Reporting – Deliverables include chromatographic data, concentration levels, and identification of principal saponin components.
