1. Introduction

Tea saponin is a class of saponin compounds extracted from the Theaceac plants (such as tea, camellia, camellia oleifera). It has strong hygroscopicity, is insoluble in cold water and easily soluble in hot water. The aqueous solution was dark brown. It has certain physiological activity and surface activity such as foaming, decontamination, emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, etc., so it is widely used in many fields.

2. Functions

2.1 Detergent

The aqueous solution of tea saponin has surface activity, can reduce the surface tension of water, produce long-lasting foam, and has strong decontamination ability, and is not affected by the hardness of water. Using tea saponin cleaner to wash wool or silk fabrics can keep the bright colors of the fabrics and prolong the service life of the fabrics. At the same time, saponin is a natural compound that is easily decomposed into non-toxic substances by enzymes and will not pollute the environment. Tea saponin has the advantages of looseness, smoothness, anti-dandruff, antipruritic, etc., and has the effect of cleaning hair, so tea saponin is also a high-quality raw material for the production of shampoo.

2.2 Emulsifier

Tea saponin has its unique advantages as an emulsifier. Some people have carried out an emulsification test on surfactants such as tea saponin, ammonium oleate, sodium alkanesulfonate, and sodium oleate with the same specifications of paraffin. Sex is the best. In recent years, my country has successfully developed a paraffin emulsifier for tea saponin (TS-80IL emulsifier), and it has been popularized and applied in the wood-based panel industry.

2.3 Foaming agent

Tea saponin has strong CO2 absorption properties, and can be used as a foaming aid in the production of refreshing beverages and beer, as a foaming agent for foam rubber in the rubber industry, and as a foaming agent for foam fire extinguishers.

2.4 Medicine

Tea saponin can stimulate the bronchial mucosa and increase secretion, so it has the effect of expectorating phlegm and relieving cough. Tea saponin can also be used as a diuretic, an emulsifier for milky cod liver oil, as well as anti-edema and anti-inflammatory.

2.5 Protective agent for crab and shrimp culture

Tea saponin is more toxic to fish, even if the concentration is very low, it is toxic. With the increase of water temperature, the fish poisoning activity of tea saponin will also enhance. Tea saponin will be hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions and lose its activity, so it will naturally degrade after 48 hours in slightly alkaline seawater and will not pollute sea water.

The mechanism of tea saponin in fish poisoning: one is to destroy the blood gill tissue; the other is to enter the microvessels from the gills, thereby causing hemolysis, resulting in the  poisoning and death of fish. Tea saponin is non-toxic to prawns that breathe through gills, mainly because: the structure and epidermis of prawn gills are chitin and protein, which are different from fish gills; and the oxygen-carrying carrier in fish blood is heme, and its core is Fe2+, while the prawn is hemocyanin, and its core is Cu2+.

ea saponin has a destructive effect on animal red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis. Tea saponin only produces hemolysis on red blood cells (including nucleated fish blood, chicken blood and non-nucleated human blood), but has no effect on white blood cells. Therefore, it has a toxic effect on fish, but has no toxic effect on crustaceans such as shrimp and crab. The premise of hemolysis is that tea saponin must be in contact with blood, so it is non-toxic when taken orally by humans and animals.

It can kill wild fish, loaches, snails, leeches, mussels, frog eggs, tadpoles, earthworms and some aquatic insects.

3. Applications

It can be widely used in light industry, chemical industry, pesticide, feed, aquaculture, textile, oil extraction, mining, building materials and highway construction and other fields.
