“…Many authors have studied the biological properties of saponins on animal and human nutrition (Cheeke, 2000;Francis et al, 2002). It has been reported that saponins when supplemented in diets reduce cholesterol content in blood and tissues in monogastric mammals, such as rats, gerbils and humans (Sidhu and Oakenfull, 1986;Potter et al, 1993;Harris et al, 1997).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of saponins from Quillaja saponaria on fatty acid (FA) composition and cholesterol content in muscle Longissimus dorsi of lambs. A total of 24 Barbarine lambs were assigned to four dietary treatments: control diet (C) consisting of oat hay ad libitum and 400 g of concentrate (80% barley, 17.5% soybean meal and 2.5% vitamin and mineral supplement); C diet plus 30 ppm of Q. saponaria L. (QS30); C diet plus 60 ppm of Quillaja (QS60); C diet plus 90 ppm of Quillaja (QS90). Saponin supplementation reduced the concentration of C14:1 cis-9 (P 5 0.001) and of its desaturation index (P 5 0.002). None of the FA intermediates of ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) was affected by Quillaja saponin supplementation (P . 0.05). The concentration of C20:4n-6 was higher in the meat of animals receiving 60 ppm of Quillaja than C and QS30 groups. Supplementing 60 ppm of Quillaja reduced the ratio between a-linolenic and linoleic acids compared with the C group (P 5 0.023). We did not find any significant effect of Quillaja saponins on muscle cholesterol level. Further investigations are necessary to assess the metabolic fate of saponins in the rumen and to understand whether there is an effect of saponin on D 9 -desaturase enzyme activity, ruminal BH and cholesterol metabolism in ruminants. Supplementing up to 90 ppm of Quillaja saponins did not produce detrimental effects on the overall meat FA profile.

“…It is known that Yucca saponins have steroids lopophylic nucleus and one or more water-soluble carbohydrate side chains and for that reason, it is used as a feed additive to reduce ammonia and fecal odors in animal excreta, showing beneficial properties in animal production (Cheeke 2000). The Yucca extract capacity to reduce the NH 4 has been documented in freshwater and seawater fish (Tidwell et al 1992, Santacruz-Reyes andChien 2010).…”

“…The Yucca schidigera extract have been used as a feed additive to reduce ammonia and fecal odors in animal excreta (Cheeke 2000). It has been proved that this substance can reduce ammonia buildup produced by biogenic sources, hydrogen sulfide and other compounds affecting fish health in both fresh and seawater recirculating aquaculture systems (Kelly andKohler 2003, Santacruz-Reyes andChien 2010).…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto del extracto líquido de Y. schidigera sobre la calidad del agua y prevención de la mortalidad del pargo rojo del Pacífico L. Peru, durante la transferencia del medio silvestre a condiciones del laboratorio. Se utilizaron tres tratamientos: extracto líquido concentrado 100% de Y. schidigera natural fue administrado en baja concentración (0,25 mg L -1 ) y alta concentración (0,75 mg L -1 ), además de un grupo control sin extracto. El extracto líquido fue administrado cada 72 h durante 28 días. Se encontró que el extracto Y. schidigera reduce la concentración de amonio producto de la excreción de los juveniles y la mortalidad del huachinango durante la aclimatación en un sistema de recirculación. Se recomienda el uso del extracto de yuca en una concentración de 0,75 mg L -1 para reducir el amonio y para una densidad máxima de 10,9 kg m -3 y con aireación.Palabras clave: Yucca schidigera, reducción de amonio, pargo, supervivencia. SUMMARYThe goal of this study was to determine the effect of the liquid extract of Yucca schidigera on water quality and survival of Pacific red snapper Lutjanus peru during its transfer from wild to laboratory conditions. Three experimental groups (0.00; 0.25 and 0.75 mg of Y. schidigera liquid extract per liter of culture) were tested with four replicates using water recirculating systems. The liquid extract was dispensed every 72 h during 28 days. It was proved that Y. schidigera extract could be effective to reduce ammonia nitrogen caused by biogenic source (excretion of fish juveniles) diminishing mortality of Pacific red snapper during acclimatization process. It is recommended the use of yucca extract concentration at a dose of 0.75 mg L -1 to reduce ammonia concentration in marine water for holding red snapper juveniles.

“…Saponins have detergent or surfactant properties because they contain both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. They consist of a fat-soluble nucleus, having either a steroid or triterpenoid structure, with one or more side chains of water soluble carbohydrates [28]. Recently, there have been a tremendous commercially driven promotion of saponins as dietary supplement and nutraceuticals and there is evidence of the presence of saponins in traditional medicine preparation [29].…”

Abstract-Banana is one of the most widely distributed and consumed fruit in tropical and subtropical countries. Considering to nutritional aspects, it is one of the worlds leading food crops with a high source of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenolic compounds etc. The current study was performed to evaluate the bioactive compound and antioxidant activity in Mauli Bananas (Musa sp) stem. Mauli bananas stem exctract contain a biocative compound with tannin has a highest level and followed by ascorbic acid, saponin, -carotene, total flavonoid, lycopene, alkaloid and flavonoid. The chellating effect of ferrous iron in Mauli bananas stem had a highest antioxidant activity than hydroxyl scavenging activity and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The data obtained Mauli bananas stem contained a lot of biocative compound and also have moderate to potent antioxidant and/or free radical scavenging activity.Index Terms-Antioxidant, antioxidant activity, Mauli bananas, musa sp.
