“…To date, 33 aglycones have been described as part of the saponins found in the Yucca genus [6,7,11,12,14,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], including spirostanic and furostanic saponins (Figure 2).…”

“…In addition to glucose, 22 different sugar chains have been described in Yucca. These are linked to aglycones on the C-3 position [6,7,11,12,14,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The chains described in this genus possess up to seven monosaccharides.…”

“…Ten of them have the same core, which consists of a β-D-galactopyranose and two β-D-glucopyranoses, to which β-D-glucopyranoses, β-D-xylopyranoses or α-L-ramnopyranoses are linked at different positions to form the actual polysaccharide. On the other hand, other polysaccharides, such as S4C [25], S4D [18], S5G [24] and S5H [26], which present structures that do not follow this pattern have also been described (Figure 8), however their characterization was carried out, in some cases, using the non-fully developed structural elucidation techniques that were available for saponins before the early 1990s. Hence, the sugar chains S4C, S5G and S5H were reported in different publications on the saponins present in Y. aloifolia [24][25][26].…”

“…106 spirostanic and furostanic saponins (Table 1) have been reported in the species of the Yucca genus that have been studied, namely Y. gloriosa, Y. glauca, Y. schidigera, Y. aloifolia, Y. desmetiana, Y. elephantipes Y. macrocarpa, and Y. smalliana [6,7,11,12,14,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Only a few of these have been studied in depth, which lead us to conclude that the saponins from the Yucca genus remain a rather underexplored field.…”

Yucca is one of the main sources of steroidal saponins, hence different extracts are commercialized for use as surfactant additives by beverage, animal feed, cosmetics or agricultural products. For a deeper understanding of the potential of the saponins that can be found in this genus, an exhaustive review of the structural characteristics, bioactivities and analytical methods that can be used with these compounds has been carried out, since there are no recent reviews on the matter. Thus, a total of 108 saponins from eight species of the genus Yucca have been described. Out of these, the bioactivity of 68 saponins derived from the isolation of Yucca or other genera has been evaluated. Regarding the evaluation and quality control of the saponins from this genus LC-MS technique is the most often used. Nevertheless, the development of methods for their routine analysis in commercial preparations are needed. Moreover, most of the studies found in the literature have been carried out on Y. schidigera extract, since is the most often used for commercial purposes. Only eight of the 50 species that belong to this genus have been studied, which clearly indicates that the identification of saponins present in Yucca genus is still an unresolved question.
