Abstract:

Tea saponin is a pentacyclic triterpenoid plant saponins extracted from genus Camellia (Theaceae family).In recent years,the basic theory and application research of tea saponin in the field of medicine and food has also been increasing.The chemical structure,main pharmaceutical activities,toxicity,toxicity mechanism and detoxification methods of tea saponin were reviewed.The above researches could provide new ideas for reducing the toxicity of tea saponin by structural derivatization,and also lay a foundation for the application of tea saponin in the pharmaceutical industry.

Key words: tea saponin, toxicity, toxicity mechanism, detoxification method
