Soyasaponin gamma-A
Definition
Soyasaponin gamma-a, also known as soyasaponin gamma-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 gamma-a is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Soyasaponin gamma-a can be found in soy bean, which makes soyasaponin gamma-a a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
