Saponin CAS 8047-15-2

Product Name: Saponin

CAS Number: 8047-15-2

Description

Saponin (CAS 8047-15-2) is a naturally occurring glycoside compound found widely in the plant kingdom, often extracted from sources like Soapbark (Quillaja saponaria), Soapwort, or Yucca. These compounds possess amphipathic properties, meaning they have both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. This unique structure gives Saponin excellent surfactant, emulsifying, and foaming characteristics, making it valuable across diverse industrial applications. Our Saponin is carefully processed to ensure high quality and consistency for your formulation needs.

Properties

Property Description
CAS Number 8047-15-2
Chemical Nature Plant-derived Glycoside
Appearance Typically a yellowish to brown powder or liquid extract
Solubility Soluble in water, forms colloidal solutions

Usage

Saponin’s primary function stems from its surface-active properties. It is widely used as:

  • A Natural Foaming Agent: Creates stable foam in beverages (like root beer and mixers), fire extinguisher formulations, and cosmetics (shampoos, cleansers).
  • An Emulsifier: Helps to mix oil and water-based ingredients in food products, cosmetics (creams, lotions), and industrial formulations.
  • A Wetting Agent/Dispersant: Improves the spreading and penetration of liquids in agricultural sprays or industrial processes.
  • Potential Adjuvant: Certain purified saponins (especially from Quillaja) are researched and used as adjuvants in vaccines to enhance immune response (Note: Specific use requires specific grades and regulatory compliance).
  • Natural Detergent: Used in some eco-friendly cleaning products due to its natural surfactant properties.

Packaging and Transportation

Our Saponin is supplied in securely sealed containers, such as poly-lined drums, bags, or smaller containers depending on the quantity ordered, to protect it from moisture and contaminants. Transportation follows standard regulations for non-hazardous or mildly irritant chemicals, ensuring safe delivery.

Storage

Store Saponin in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption1 and maintain product integrity.
