Two new saponins were isolated from faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) by column chromatography (Sephadex LH-20 and ODS) and semi-preparative HPLC. Tlieir molecular weights determined by FAB-MS were 980 and 964, respectively. Results of TLC analyse showed that these compounds are similar to soya saponin group B. The presence of separated saponins was confirmed by TLC for seeds of four cultivars of faba bean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
