Saponins are a class of chemical compounds naturally found in plants, and have a foamy appearance.
As phytonutrients, saponins, found in red wine, peas, beans, lentils, peanuts, soybeans, alfalfa, ginseng, fenugreek, wild yam, soapwort, paprika, oats, spinach, garlic, leeks, onions, chives, tea, sugar beet, quinoa, licorice, capsicum peppers, eggplant, tomato seeds, asparagus, and bean sprouts, lower blood cholesterol, decrease risk of cardiovascular disease, prevent cancer cells from growing and mutating, neutralize free radicals to prevent disease, stimulate your immune system by increasing the production of antibodies, fight bacterial and fungal infections, reduce inflammation, lower blood glucose responses, prevent dental caries, protect against bone loss, and increase the effectiveness of certain vaccines.
Identification tests for saponin glycosides include foam test (formation of stable foam when shaken with water), hemolytic test (lysis of red blood cells), and Lieberman-Burchard test (formation of red color with acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid). Additionally, thin-layer chromatography and spectroscopic methods can be used for further confirmation of saponin glycosides.
Classification of glycosides according to therapeutics effects such as : 1. CHF and cardiac muscles stimulators Such as : sennoside A,B,C,D 2. Laxative group of glycosides 3. Local irritant group of glycosides 4.Ati inflammatorygroup
Glycosides are compounds that consist of a sugar molecule bonded to a non-carbohydrate entity, such as an aglycone. Common examples of glycosides include cardiac glycosides like digoxin, which are used to treat heart conditions, and salicin, found in willow bark and converted by the body into salicylic acid, a precursor to aspirin.
Glycoside hederin is a triterpenoid saponin compound found in Hedera helix (English ivy) plants. It has been studied for potential medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Glycoside hederin is known for its saponin-like properties, which are compounds often used in traditional medicine for various health benefits.
cardiac glycosides ( Digoxin -Digitoxin ) used to treat Congestive heart Failures , by inhibting the Na-K ATPase channels on the cardiac muscles so increase the intracellular Na and Ca so increasing the inotropic Force of contraction and Eject more stroke Volume .
Saponin triterpenoid glycosides, or commonly called ginsenocides.
Saponin triterpenoid glycosides or chemicals commonly called ginsenocides.

Additionally, thin-layer chromatography and spectroscopic methods can be used for further confirmation of saponin glycosides.
Borax is used in the Schotten-Baumann reaction to identify anthraquinone glycosides because it reacts with the anthraquinone to form a precipitate. This reaction is specific for anthraquinone glycosides and does not occur with other types of glycosides.
Phytochemical screening - is a process of tracing plant constituents. For example you want to found out if a certain plant contains alkaloids (a plant constituent) then, you will be performing a phytochemical screening procedures for alkaloids (in this case mayer's and Wagner's test). There are general plant constituents that can be performed with a standard test. And these are screenig for: Alkaloids Saponin glycosides Cardenolides and Bufadionolides Flavonoids Tannins and Polyphenolic compounds Anthraquinones Cyanogenic glycosides Carbohydrates Fixed oils, Fats, and Volatile oils.

saponin is not a dye rather it is a surfactant produced by plant.

Saponins are naturally occurring compounds found in various plants. They are classified as glycosides due to their chemical structure, containing a sugar moiety attached to a non-sugar component called aglycone. Saponins have surfactant properties, creating foam when shaken with water, and are known for their potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating effects.
