“…Interestingly, unlike emulsions, extreme pH values did not significantly affect foam stability; in fact, foam stability increased at these extreme pH values (2 and 10). This behavior contrasts with findings from other saponin extracts, such as Xanthoceras sorbifolium leaves [47] and Glycyrrhiza glabra roots [45], where no significant changes or increased stability were observed under extreme pH conditions. This suggests that the influence of the ionic state of carboxylic groups on foam stability may be less pronounced compared to its effect on emulsion stability.…”

“…The influence of ionic strength appeared to be more pronounced than that of sucrose on foam characteristics. This aligns with the findings of Chen et al [47], who tested a saponin extract from X. sorbifolium leaves (comprising triterpenic mono-and bidesmosidic saponins) for industrial applications. They observed that the extract exhibited high foam stability in sucrose solutions up to 30%, suggesting its potential use in the formulation of desserts with reduced sugar content, while retaining their rheological and organoleptic characteristics.…”

When replanting an asparagus field, the roots of the previous crop are crushed and incorporated into the soil, creating problems of autotoxicity and fungal infections. Asparagus roots can be considered as a valuable byproduct, since they are very rich in saponins (3–6%), compounds currently considered as bio-emulsifiers. The objective is to evaluate the emulsifying and foaming capacity of a saponin extract from asparagus roots (ARS) and compare it with other commercial extracts. ARS was obtained using a process patented by our research group. The results have shown that ARS has activity similar to Quillaja extract. Its critical micellar concentration falls between that of Quillaja and Tribulus extracts (0.064, 0.043, and 0.094 g/100 mL, respectively). Both emulsifying and foaming activities are affected by pH, salt, and sucrose to a similar extent as the other extracts. Additionally, it has demonstrated an inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase, which is even better than the other two studied extracts, as indicated by its IC50 value (0.7887, 1.6366, and 2.0107 mg/mL for asparagus, Quillaja, and Tribulus, respectively). These results suggest that ARS could serve as a natural emulsifying/foaming agent for healthier and safer food products and as a potential aid in treatments for obesity and hyperlipidemia.
