영문 초록

Tea saponins are triterpenoid saponins from Camellia plants, and consist of a sapogenin, glycosides and organic acids. Up to 2013, at least 93 tea saponin monomers from the seeds, roots and flowers of tea plants have been isolated and identifined. Tea saponins are excellent natural biosurfactant, and possess a variety of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, hypolipidemic and gastric mucosal protection. In addition, tea saponins can be used for the recovery of heavy metals from wastewater and contaminated soils due to their high binding capacity with metal ions. These properties make tea saponins can be applied in pesticides, feed, aquaculture, textile, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, building materials and environmental modification.Therefore, this article reviews the latest studies on tea saponins, and discuss the comprehensive utilization of tea saponins in the future
