Taste testings and saponin estimation by a simple afiosimetric method showed that quinoa containing 0.1 1 % saponins or less (corresponding to foam heights of 1.0 cm or less) can be considered sweet. A variation of the standard afiosimetric method is described which reduces total analysis time fiom

A simple and sensitive method for the colorimetric determination of reducing sugars in plant materials is proposed. The procedure is based on reduction under alkaline conditions of potassium ferricyanide by the reducing groups of the carbohydrates, followed by colour development as the o-phenanthrol
A new method by which the authentic hemolytically active steroidal sapogenins can be detected by tic is described. The method is based on previous findings that saponin-induced hemolysis is preceded by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds. In this method the aqueous plant extract is incubated with bov
