20.500.12556/RUL-147518 Surface-active natural saponins. Properties, safety, and efficacy In the future, cleaning products must fulfil the principles of green chemistry while maintaining efficacy against bacteria. This study aims to evaluate the detergent properties, ecotoxicity, and anti-biofilm potential of natural saponins compared to synthetic surfactants. We tested sodium dodecyl sulphate, quillaja saponin, escin, and sapogenin for emulsifying capacity, critical micelle concentration, ecotoxicity to yeast, and antibacterial and anti-biofilm potential against bacteria. The results show that the emulsifying capacities of quillaja saponin and sodium dodecyl sulphate are similar, while the critical micelle concentration for quillaja saponin is much lower. Furthermore, the antibacterial and antibiofilm potentials are much higher for quillaja saponin than for synthetic sodium dodecyl sulphate. Moreover, we have shown that natural saponins are less toxic to the S. cerevisiae than synthetic saponin is. All these facts indicate that quillaja is a suitable candidate to replace synthetic products as it meets the requirements of efficacy and safety. natural saponins synthetic saponins detergent properties anti-biofilm potentials antibacterial properties ecotoxicity hygiene true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2023-07-07 08:27:13 2023-07-07 08:27:16 2023-12-06 08:53:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 639–648 no. 7 Vol. 33 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 613:661.185.6 0960-3123 10.1080/09603123.2022.2043252 106470915 Surface_active_natural_saponins_Properties_safety_and_efficacy.pdf Surface_active_natural_saponins_Properties_safety_and_efficacy.pdf 1 6FCD0300F157A277365B99C277AAC859 04fcf3bf64fbc323d8fa000bda26a63ec54130fa0cb44421d3a674f01f886964 3eb67983-1c8f-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=171137 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09603123.2022.2043252 0 2625deb2-1c8f-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=171136 Zdravstvena fakulteta Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
