“…In this sense, Blanca de Jericó and Tunkahuan were considered sweet materials (Heights less than 0.5 cm Table 2) and Amarilla de Maranganí, Negra de la Colorada and Dorada were bitter because they had heights between 6.9 and 8.5 cm according to the standard afrosymetric (MAE) and fast methods (MAR) (Figure 1). Similar results were obtained by other researchers (Bonilla et al, 2019), who evaluated Hualhuas and Recuay varieties with the afrosymetric method and classified them as sweet and bitter genotypes with foam heights of 0.5 cm and 7.5 cm, respectively.…”

Afrosymetric method for quantifying saponins in Chenopodium Quinoa Willd. from Colombia

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal that, in addition to presenting good nutritional characteristics in the grain, has secondary metabolites in the episperm of the seeds and, within them, saponins. Saponins are characterized by being emulsifying, foaming and generating a bitter taste. This metabolite has not been completely studied in quinoa materials from Colombia. For this reason, the objective of this research was to quantify the content of saponins present in quinoa materials from the department of Boyacá using three afrosimetric methods. For this, a completely randomized design (CRD) was implemented with a factorial arrangement of 3 (afrosimetric methods) x 5 (quinoa materials). From the quantification of saponins, it was determined that the Amarilla de maranganí genotype, was the one that presented the highest content in all the evaluated methods; the standard afrosimetric method being the most efficient. Finally, the conglomerate analysis allowed to discriminate the materials in sweet quinoas such as Tunkahuan and Blanca de Jericó with saponin contents lower than 0.06%, and in bitter quinoas (Negra de la Colorada, Dorada and Amarilla de Maranganí) with contents higher than 0.11%. The biochemical characterization of the germplasm will allow a selection of genotypes suitable for consumption and for the industry, given the potential use that saponins currently have.

“…Nas plantas que possuem saponina, as principais funções biológicas envolvem atividades anti-inflamatória, larvicida e antifúngica (PELAH et al 2002). Em pesquisa realizada por Bonilla et al (2019) foi considerado que as saponinas estavam relacionadas com a atividade inseticida de quinoa em larvas de Drosophila melanigaster. Andrade et al (2021), testaram extratos de Phyllanthus acuminatus Vahl (Phyllantaceae) sobre A. aegypti e atribuíram às saponinas a morte das larvas, podendo ter atuado em nível de membrana causando asfixia, ou ter causado uma desorganização das células das brânquias, atuando na regulação osmótica desses organismos, levando ao desequilíbrio quanto à absorção de íons da água.…”

Aedes aegypti is capable of transmitting arboviruses. Bioinsecticides are an option to be added to the integrated control of this vector. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the larvicidal potential of aqueous extracts of fresh and dry leaves of Eruca sativa on A. aegypti, and to carry out a preliminary chemical analysis of this plant. In the extraction, infusion, decoction and maceration methods were used; and for bioassays crude leaf extract (EBF) and diluted leaf extract (EDF) were used in a 1:1 ratio. As for larval mortality, in fresh leaf extracts, with 24 hours of exposure to the treatments Infusion (EBF and EDF), Decoction (EBF and EDF) and Maceration (EBF) there were 10.64%, 4.66%, 5.33%, 0.66% and 0.66%, respectively. In the extracts of dried leaves, in 6h of exposure, Decoction treatment (EBF) there were 88.66% and in the EDF 56.66%. With 10 h of exposure, in Decoction extracts (EBF and EDF) there were 100% and 84.66%, and in Maceration (EBF) 29.33%. With 24h, in Decoction (EDF) and Maceration (EBF) there was 100%, in Infusion (EBF) 51.33% and Maceration (EDF) 60.66%. With 48h, in Maceration (EDF) 100% of mortality was observed, and in EBF and EDF Infusion 82.66% and 77.33%, respectively. In the chemical analysis, saponins, catechins, tannins and anthocyanic heterosides were observed. It was concluded that aqueous extracts of Eruca sativa leaves are toxic to A. aegypti larvae, with greater potential being observed in dry leaves, and that the bioactive compounds found are indicative of insecticidal activity.

“…In addition, there are bioactive elements in lentils such as saponins. Saponins are glycosidic substances considered as anti-nutrients and are found in the seed shell (Bonilla et al, 2019) [57]. Saponin is the cause of some gastrointestinal problems, such as bloating, diarrhea, and flatulence in some people who consume legumes (Carolina et al, 2014) [58].…”

It is necessary to propose educational interventions in the population due to economic, social, and environmental situation. Thus, in this research, a transdisciplinary model of educational intervention to increase lentil consumption was proposed. Population was known based on their lifestyle characteristics, health, and pro-health habits, including lentil consumption. The types of lentils marketed in Mexico zone were investigated and characterized in terms of their quality attributes: sanitary, physical and saponins, choosing the best option. food dishes were formulated to teach their preparation and sensory evaluate preferences. As part of the intervention strategy, food dishes were formulated. Training was provided in their preparation and awareness was raised about the importance of lentil consumption for sustainable development. The changes of the participants were evaluated, and they indicated that their changes were mainly attributed to economic aspects, health reasons and care for the environment. The lentil dishes were accepted by the focus group.
