Soyasaponin beta-A
Definition
Soyasaponin beta-a is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpene saponins. Triterpene saponins are glycosylated derivatives of triterpene sapogenins. The sapogenin moiety backbone is usually based on the oleanane, ursane, taraxastane, bauerane, lanostane, lupeol, lupane, dammarane, cycloartane, friedelane, hopane, 9b,19-cyclo-lanostane, cycloartane, or cycloartanol skeleton. Soyasaponin beta-a is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Soyasaponin beta-a can be found in soy bean, which makes soyasaponin beta-a a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
