Abstract Triterpenoid saponins from various plants have been subjected to paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography and a special examination has been made of lucerne saponins. These bulk saponins and those from a number of other plants appear to be mixtures, probably varying both in glycosidic and sapogenin structure. An explanation is suggested for some striking differences between paper chromatographic and paper electrophoretic results given by certain saponins.
