Yhteenveto:Saponins are secondary metabolites produced naturally by plants due to biotic stress. Plants of the Yucca genus are considered source of saponins, particularly steroidal glycosides. Due to their chemical structure, they are molecules with diverse functional properties and biological activity. This document critically explores the reported technological procedures to obtain saponins and saponin rich extracts from species of the Yucca genus, as well their properties, bioactivity and current applications. Yucca saponin extracts are considered to have potential for industrial application in various areas, particularly in food technology, health and agriculture.
