Campione

"silene spp"

Last year we referred to this plant as soapwort.Soapwort does contain saponins.

In many plants saponins are anti-feedants. Saponins have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity.

Saponins are used to form a lather in water that is a gentle but effective cleaner. A number of plants contain quite high concentrations of saponins and have been used as an alternative soap.

Noun Biochemistry- any of a group of amorphous glycosides of terpenes and steroids, occurring in many plants, characterized by an ability to form emulsions and to foam in aqueous solutions, and used as detergents.
