Tea saponin is a kind of good performance of natural surface active agent, it can be widely used in light industry, chemical industry, pesticide, feed, aquaculture, textile, oil, mining, building materials and highway construction, and other fields

1 tea saponin of physical and chemical properties

   Tea saponins are triterpene saponin, with spicy, stimulate cause sneezing, nasal mucosa is tasted for white fine columnar crystal, hygroscopicity strong, the methyl red acidic, hardly soluble in anhydrous methanol, ethanol, not soluble in ether, acetone, benzene, petroleum ether and other organic solvents, soluble in water, aqueous ethanol, methanol and glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride, pyridine, etc. Tea saponin solution with hydrochloric acid, acidity, saponins on precipitation. Melting point: 224 ℃.

2 the application areas of tea saponin

  (1) pesticide field

pesticides with refined tea saponin as the main body in the field of environmental protection pesticides auxiliaries can be widely used in pesticide, fungicide, and herbicide, etc. To achieve synergies, solubilization, the purpose of the attenuated, as wettability pesticide wetting agents, not only can obviously improve the wetting properties of pesticide, and can effectively increase the rate of pesticide suspension, meet or exceed the standards prescribed by the state; As water dosage forms of pesticide auxiliaries more superiority, it does not contain beneath the pesticide quality metal ion, because its pH value neutral partial acid, is advantageous to the pesticide storage; As the ec type pesticide efficiency and fair agent can improve the physical and chemical properties of the pesticide, less dosage, prevention effect is good, down fast, the rains washed out, efficacy lasting advantages, due to the effect of surface activity of the tea saponin, 50 ~ 70%, it can reduce pesticide consumption effect is obvious.

(2 )farming areas

On the one hand, can be a clear pond shrimp farming before, can also be used to kill in the process of breeding DiHai fish, on the other hand also can promote the prawn shells, stimulating growth of prawn, at the same time it also can kill the attached nematode and pinch off insect in crab body, achieve the goal of treating crab disease, its usage on freshwater prawn breeding for 2 ~ 3 PPM, seawater is 1 PPM, crab disease cure is 15 ~ 25 PPM.

(3) feed field

Made from tea saponin of feed additives can effectively replace antibiotics, reduce zoonotic disease, make whole breeding on a new step, finally make people eat 

(4) building materials

Tea saponin is a good natural surface active agent, in the aerated concrete and light building materials can be used as a foaming agent and foam agent, it has the degreasing effect, can improve the aluminum powder dispersed suspension, inhibition of lime digestion, improve the stability of the slurry casting to improve the pore structure, make the product more solid and reliable, its effect is better than acacia powder, pull open powder, etc. Use its strong emulsifying properties and dispersion, made of stone wax emulsifying agent, has been successfully used for fiberboard sizing process in production, and significantly reduce product water absorption, enhance the waterproof performance, improve the quality of fiberboard.

(5)daily chemical field

Using surface active role of tea saponin, can be used as a shampoo, hair dye, wash shampoo, can not only hair, and anti-inflammatory anti-itching, dandruff effect is good.

(6)the field of medicine

Tea saponin has obvious characteristics of anti seepage and anti-inflammatory inflammation in the earlier stage, can make the disorder of blood capillary permeability normalization, and stimulate animal hormone secretion, regulate blood sugar levels, also can reduce cholesterol, prevent cardiovascular disease. With phlegm cough efficacy, to treat senile bronchitis and various edema; Tea saponin and antibacterial effect, can treat some skin diseases. Tea saponin can inhibit the absorption of alcohol, accelerate the decomposition of alcohol and therefore can be used in the decanter.

(7)beverages

Add a small amount of saponin in wine, can prevent the yeast production, stable quality, can also be used for aerated wine, make it has a lot of bubbles.
