Tea
saponin
( belong to saponin family),
is
one kind of glycoside compound,
which is extracted from camellia seeds. It is not only effective
in decontamination,
foaming,
emulsification, decentralization and saturation, but also with function of
diminishing inflammation, easing pain and resisting epiphyte, which is
widely used in food, drink, chemical, medicine, pesticide, rubber, film,
building materials, extinguish
material,
hair care products and so on. So, tea saponin can also be named:
surfactant, woemulsion, detergent, pesticide,
foaming
agent and antiabrasive agent. |
| Camellia
seeds contain 11 to 15% tea saponin, which can be extracted from virgin
camellia oil or tea seed cake with special organic solvent. |

Chemistry and physics
characteristic: |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Tea
saponin’s basic structure is composed by sapogenin (C30H50O6), aglycon
and organic acid, which is a kind of pentacyclic triterpene saponin.Its molecular formula is C57H90O26,molar
weight is 1191.28. |
| Pure tea saponin is colorless, minute
columnar crystalloid. Melting point is 223~224℃(433.4~435.2℉). Can be easily dissolved in hydrous
methanol, hydrous ethanol, ethanol, n-butylalcohol, glacial acetic acid,
acetic anhydride, pyridine and other organic solvent, but can not be
dissolved in ether, chloroform, acetone and so on. |

| 1. |
Emulsifier:
The tea saponin paraffin emulsifier(TS-80 emulsifier) has been widely used
in building board industry. Because of small granularity emulsion, level
off degree and good stability ,the emulsion's character is much better
than general emulsifier such as: alkyl sodium sulfonate, sodium oleate and
ammonium oleate. |
| 2. |
Detergent:
It is a natural nonionic surfactants, be non-poisonous compound after
enzymolysis, which can avoid polluting the environment. Tea saponin is a strong
decontamination without limitation of Water hardness. Be made
shampoo to protect hair, wash hair, eliminate inflammation and stop
itching. When it is used as detergent to wash cloth, woolen sweater and
fabric, it possesses not only cleansing ability, but also make the cloth
fadeless, fresh, bright and soft. |
| 3. |
Foam:
With strong ability of absorbing carbon
dioxide, tea saponin not only can be used as foam for foam
rubber in rubber industry, for foam fire extinguisher in fire industry,
but also can be replacement of other industry material, such as foam
stabilizer in concrete industry to deduct manufacturing cost,
accelerating-foam for cold drink and beer industry. |
| 4. |
With
function of relieving a cough and dispelling phlegm, tea saponin can stimulate human windpipe mucous
membrane, increase secretion. It can also be used as diuretic and medicating
emulsifier. |
| 5. |
Besides,
it can also be nature and organic pesticide in agriculture industry. |
