“…Sapindus mukorossi of Sapindaceae family, commonly famous for soapnut, washnut, reetha, or ritha, is a well-known, handsome, deciduous, and valuable tree species. It is indigenous to the hilly areas of China and Japan below an altitude of 1000 m and is widely cultivated in North India [1,2]. As it is rich in valuable saponins (possessing the property of outstanding surface activity), S. mukorossi is an ecofriendly and promising alternative material of biosurfactant for producing shampoos, cosmetic cleansers, and detergents in sanitary and cosmetic products [3].…”

“…It may be possible that the bioactive compounds within the plant may not be the solitary product of the plant, but products of the microbes that exist in association with the host plant [10]. The selected medicinal plants are Sapindus trifoliatus, Millettia pachycarpa, Oroxylum indicum, and an unidentified vine plant which is used in traditional fermentation [11,12]. S. trifoliatus has been used for the treatment of ulcers, external wounds, inflammation, epilepsy, dental caries, arthritis, joint pain, gout and rheumatism.…”
