The increasing demand for plant-based medicines makes plant research attractive to find natural alternatives that can replace synthetic products or at least reduce their use. Saponins are a group of phytochemical compounds in most herbs, vegetables, and legumes. There two different types saponin compounds, which be classified based on the nature aglycone bound oligosaccharide fragments, whether it is steroid triterpenoid. This paper devoted saponins with triterpenoid aims study relationship between content several biological activities Juglans regia kernel extracts, including antioxidant, antimicrobial antibacterial activities. Antioxidant activity was assessed against free radicals: DPPH ABTS. Oleanolic acid used as standard quantify saponins, measured by vanillin method, whereas Acarbose Tetracycline were positive controls evaluate α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, respectively, walnut extracts.
