Bowel preparation before surgery refers to the removal of bowel contents via mechanical cleansing with oral or rectal measures. The proposed benefits are reduced rate of surgical site infections and easier manipulation of the bowel during surgery. An ideal bowel-cleansing agent should be well tolerated by subjects, easily administered, inexpensive and produce adequate clearance. The most extensively used enema agent is soap but due to its chemical constituents it is known to cause various side effects like nausea, gastric irritation, pain, etc. In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushrutha suggests patients are to be Nivrutta Vega i.e., free from natural urges prior to the surgery. Also, the drug Arishtaka seems to have the Rechaka, natural cleansing, non-allergic and surfactant properties. Considering these qualities, a preliminary attempt was made to study the effect of Arishtaka in bowel preparation. In the current study it has shown effective results and adequate quality of bowel preparation.

“…In addition, the non-anionic surfactant is known that they can work well in hard water or brackish water. Among the saponin family, compounds extracted from the pericarp of soapnut (Sapindus Mukorossi) are often used as raw materials for the industry of hand protection products, medicines, industrial additives, and washing powders due to their anti-dandruff, antiitch, and anti-inflammatory activity, anti-bacterial properties anti-fungal and emulsifying ability and good foaming [5]. M. D. Köse et al [6] carried out the extraction of Saponins from Soapnut by using some different solvents and showed that the concentration of saponin ranged between 19-30 wt.%.…”

Improvement of Detergency Properties and Anti-Microbial Action of Biosoaps Using Saponin-Rich Extract and Α-Bisabolol Essential Oil

In this study, natural ingredients were added to bio-soaps, synthesized from castor oil, a plant-derived ingredient, to improve the detergency, anti-bacterial, and stability capabilities (saponin from Soapacean fruit and essential oil of chamomile) of such soap. The saponin from soapnut fruit was extracted by an extraction process based on ethanol extraction. The saponin concentration in the extract was determined by the UV-Vis spectroscopy method. By evaluating the height and stability of the foam column, the surface tension using the Du Noüy method, and critical micelle concentrations (CMC), we looked into the efficiency of saponin in enhancing soap properties. The results show that saponin will reduce the value of CMC and, at the same time, expand the working limit of soap in brackish water and hard water (containing Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions). In addition, the presence of saponins and α-Bisabolol essential oil enhanced the anti-bacterial properties of the soap. These results expand the possibility of using natural substances in making green products that are clean and safe for humans and the environment.

“…is a deciduous oleaginous woody tree, which is widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia (Zhang et al, 2019). Its fruit pericarp contains saponin, which is an efficient natural surfactants used for developing high-quality shampoos and detergents (Bahar and Singh, 2007;Attri et al, 2015;Bhatta et al, 2021). The oil content of its seeds and kernels is high, and the seed oil meets the standards for biodiesel production, making it as a source of bioenergy (Zhao et al, 2014).…”

Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn., an important oleaginous woody plant, has garnered increasing research attention owing to its potential as a source of renewable energy (biodiesel). Leaf structural traits are closely related to plant size, and they affect the fruit yield and oil quality. However, plant size factors that predominantly contribute to leaf structural traits remain unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the associations between leaf structural traits and plant size factors in even-aged stands of S. mukorossi. Results showed that leaf length (LL) and leaf area (LA) markedly increased with the increasing diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (TH), although other leaf structural traits did not show noticeable changes. Difference in slopes also indicated that the degree of effect of plant size factors on leaf structural traits was in the order of TH > DBH. Leaf structural traits showed no systematic variation with crown width (CW). LA was significantly positively correlated with LL, leaf width (LW), LL/LW, and leaf thickness (LT) and was significantly but negatively correlated with leaf tissue density (LTD) and leaf dry mass content (LDMC). Specific leaf area showed a significantly negative correlation with LT, LDMC, and LTD. LTD showed a significantly positive correlation with LDMC, but a negative correlation with LT. The results were critical to understand the variability of leaf structural traits with plant size, can provide a theoretical foundation for further study in the relationship between leaf structural traits and fruit yield, and regulate leaf traits through artificial management measures to promote plant growth and fruit yield.
