LC-MS analysis of green tea seed isolated saponins fractions. Various saponins were detected in the saponins isolated fraction. The major saponins identified are Theasaponin E1, Theasaponin C, Assamsaponin A (C57H88O25), Theasaponin E3 (C57H88O26), Theasaponin A1 (C57H90O26), Assamsaponin B (C61H92O28), and Theasaponin A3 (C61H94O28). (a) LC-MS spectra of the saponin Fr1 of green tea seeds. (b) LC-MS spectra of the saponin Fr2 of green tea seeds. (c) LC-MS spectra of the saponin Fr3 of green tea seeds.
