“…The wavelength between 1750 and 1670 cm -1 of the acetylated sorbent is due to carbonyl group (C=O) which indicates that acetylation has occurred with success and the peak localized in the range of 1300 and 1000 cm -1 is related to strong stretches of the coupling C-O, being more accentuated in the acetylated sorbent [10].The band from 2942.6828 -2945.5 cm -1 in figure below indicate a C-H stretch associated with cellulose which is more pronaunce in the acetylated biosorbent materials. Absorption lines located between 1166.2949 -1169.6 cm -1 could be attributed to hemicelluloses, this indicate the C=O stretching of acetyl group and 1074.3596 -1067.8 cm -1 ( C-O stretching vibration in cellulose) [8]. The intense hydrophobic bands in the acetylated spectra are as a result of subtitution of hydroxyl groups at the surface of the lignocellulose with the acetyl group.…”

The biosorption of crude-oil spill using acetylated and unacetylated Cissus populnea leave, stem and root biosorbents was investigated in this study. The acetylated and unacetylated biosorbents was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of the acetyl group while SEM morphological analysis of acetylated biosorbent showed rough macrostructure surfaces with large hollows between the strand. The effectiveness of the biosorbents was evaluated based on their ability to remove crude oil from an aqueous solution. The results sho wed that the acetylated biosorbents had higher oil sorption capacities compared to the unacetylated biosorbents. The highest oil sorption capacity was observed for the acetylated stem biosorbent, which had a sorption capacity of 30.09 g/g. The unacetylated leaves biosorbent had the lowest oil sorption capacity, with a sorption capacity of 20.4 g/g. The leaves and roots biosorbents showed intermediate oil sorption capacities. The study also showed that the biosorption capacity of the biosorbents increased with increasing initial oil concentration and contact time, while decreasing with increasing biosorbent particle size. The results suggest that acetylated Cissus populnea biosorbents have potential as an effective and low-cost alternative for the remediation of crude-oil spills.

“…This far huge variety of surfactants has been synthesized to meet the demand of the consumer. These synthetic surfactants are largely based on petrochemical raw materials [9]. Because of their petrochemical origin, they are mainly toxic and non-biodegradable, causing many detrimental effects on the environment [10,11].…”

Increasing environmental concern and consumer demand for natural, sustainable and eco-friendly products have prompted the replacement of synthetic surfactants with their natural plant-based alternatives. Saponins are the plant based natural surfactants characterized by their foam forming properties in aqueous solution. Their natural origin makes them eco-friendly, bio-degradable and non-toxic. Further, they possess better physicochemical properties than the syn-thetic ones. They are also reported to exhibit a lot of useful biological activities such as anti-cancer, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering properties. Because of their excellent surface activity, biological activities and wide distribution in nature, saponin rich plants deserve deeper insight as a sustainable source of natural surfactants as they possess the potential to replace toxic synthetic surfactants abundant today. This review article is intended to provide a brief overview on the saponins with a special notion on their surface-active properties. It encourages further studies on development of commercial formulations based on saponins for the complete replacement of the synthetic counter parts, making better use of plants sources thereby contributing to global agenda of green environment.

“…Since their excellent functional properties, health benefits, and environmental protection, plant-derived saponins have gained increased interest. These are less toxic, more biodegradable, and more reusable than other forms of surfactants [11,12]. Surface-active properties of saponin extracted from Rambutan leaves were investigated through wetting, foam formation, and cleaning test.…”

Synthetic surfactants are widely used in a wide array of cleaning products due to their ability in lowering the surface tension of water. These surfactants also come with bad effects on people's health and the environment. Plant-based surfactant, or saponin, is expected to produce the same desired effect of chemical surfactant, minus the negative effect. The purpose of the current research was to discover the surface-active properties of saponin extracted from Nephelium Lappaceum or rambutan leaves, relative to commercial surfactant, Tween 80, and SDS. Rambutan’s leaves were extracted by maceration technique and liquid-liquid extraction to remove proteins and lipids of the plant. The presence of saponin in crude rambutan leaves was verified by foam test, which showed positive results. The crude rambutan leaves extracts were further analyzed by FTIR, GC-MS, and LC-QTOF-MS. The surface-active test consisted of a wetting test and cleaning test. The results from the IR spectrum show the presence of functional groups of saponin; OH, C=O, C-H, C=C, then, C-O which indicates the glycosides linkages to sapogenins. The wetting time for leave extracts, SDS, and Tween 80 were 32.33s, 7.33s, and 17.62s respectively. The cleaning test of saponin fraction, SDS, and Tween 80 showed the percentage of 20.98, 80.40, and 37.3 respectively. Generally, Rambutan leaves extract showed promising, but lower surface activities compared to commercial surfactants. Considering that the saponin fraction was not yet in the purest or isolated form of a single compound, it can be said the potential can be further enhanced by further isolating a pure surface-active compound from the saponin fraction.
