It has been identified that triterpenoids saponins extracted from plants can have cardiovascular, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. The Australian Acacia plant has a broad range of triterpenoids saponins. Current methods for separation and isolation of triterpenoids saponins involve using a large amount of organic solvents, which can be a drawback of using the extract as a functional food and nutraceutical.It has been identified that triterpenoids saponins extracted from plants can have cardiovascular, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities.
