Description
Saponins are widely present in leguminous plants. Several kinds of saponins which were different from soybean saponins were identified in white clover (Trifolium repens L.). These white clover saponins were varied in quality and quantity by the change of cultural conditions such as shading or nitrogen application. In particularly, the concentration of saponins in white clover showed tendency to increase under high light intensity and low nitrogen conditions.
