“…In the context of chemical structure, we have given the definition of detergent plants based upon their emulsifying property from the major compounds found in these plants, which are saponins. Detergent differs from soap because of the chemical reaction between triglyceride and lye solution, the process called saponification [26]. Both detergent and soap can produce foam, which in aqueous solution, is a dispersion of air bubbles in water surface stabilised by surface-active agents such as surfactants, proteins, polymers, or macromolecules.…”

Detergent Plants of Northern Thailand: Potential Sources of Natural Saponins

2019

The natural forests of Northern Thailand are the mother source of many utilisable natural products because of their diverse flora and fauna. Northern Thai people have learned to utilise plants, in particular those of plants with cleansing properties, since the beginning of time. Several local species of detergent plants in Thailand are traditionally used by the locals and indigenous people. However, these plants may become extinct because their habitats have been replaced by industrial agriculture, and their uses have been replaced by chemically synthesised detergents. Researchers need to study and communicate the biology, phytochemistry, and the importance of these plants to conserve natural biodiversity of Northern Thailand. Of many utilisable detergent phytochemicals, natural saponins are known as bio-based surfactant and foaming agents. Their physiochemical and biological properties feature structural diversity, which leads to many industrial applications. In this review, we explained the term “detergent” from the physiological mechanism perspective and the detergent effects of saponins. We also compiled a list of Thai local plants with cleansing properties focusing on the saponin-containing plants. Future studies should investigate information relative to plant environment, ethnobotanical data, and the bioactive compound content of these plants. The knowledge acquired from this study will promote the maintenance of the local biodiversity and the conservation of the detergent plant species found in Thailand.

“…The knowledge acquired form this review will increase attention on biosurfactants; these can be used to develop local plants into new products for the industries. This resonates with the fact that the global market for herbal medicine has increased due to the contribution of the significant health and economic values of herbal products [26].…”

The natural forests of Northern Thailand are the mother source of many utilisable natural products because of their diverse flora and fauna. Among many plant species found within Northern Thai forests, detergent plants are known for its distinctive cleansing properties. Several local species of detergent plants in Thailand are traditionally used by the locals and indigenous people. However, these plants may become extinct because their habitats have been replaced by industrial agriculture, and their uses have been replaced by chemically synthesised detergents. Researchers need to study and communicate the biology, phytochemistry, and the importance of these plants to conserve natural biodiversity of Northern Thailand. Of many utilisable detergent phytochemicals, natural saponins are known as bio-surfactant and foaming agents. Their physiochemical and biological properties feature structural diversity, which leads to many industrial applications.  In this review, we explained the term “detergent” from the physiological mechanism perspective and the detergent effects of saponin.  We also compiled a list of Thai local plants with cleansing properties focusing on the saponin-containing plants.

“…Apart from the application of the seed in water purification, the seed is widely consumed by locals in Africa and Asia as a cheap source of anti-hypertension therapy (4). It is also consumed as food or used as food supplement in many part of Africa while its oil is also used for cosmeceutical purposes (5,6). Prior to the commencement of this work, there has been paucity of comprehensive detail chemical composition of the seed of M. oleifera of Nigerian origin.…”

The phytochemical composition of medicinal plants is responsible for the ethnopharmacological applications. These phytochemicals vary in plants of same species planted in various geographical locations. The seed of Moringa oleifera Lam., a widely consumed multi-medicinal plant was examined for the bioactive phytochemicals. With the aid of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1 H-NMR/ 13 C-NMR) spectrometer, Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the phytochemical investigation of the seed of M. oleifera afforded nine compounds which included niazimicin 1, niazidin 2, glucomoringin isothiocyanate 3, niazinin acetate 4, niazinin triacetate 5, niazirinin 6, glucotropaeolin 7, triolein 8, trivaccenin 9. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of a major oily fraction revealed the presence of additional ten compounds which include oleic acid (major), 13-docosenoic acid, stearic acid, p-hydroxybenzyl cyanide, α-l-rhamnopyranose and other fatty acids/esters. This is the first account of a fully acetylated niazinin (a 4-(2',3',4'-O-triacetyl-α-L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate) 5 from Moringa oleifera seed. The in silico toxicity evaluation indicated that most of the isolated compounds are either immunotoxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic. The result thus obtained could serve a basis for the pharmacological and toxicological evaluation and profiling of the seed. The result further implied the need for dosage regulation of the consumption of the seed.
