Abstract: Saponins have various biological activities such as anti-tumor, improving immunity, and regulating lipid metabolism. With the continuous development of separation and purification technology, understandings on the biological activity, research value, developmental prospects of saponins have become more clear. This paper reviews the structure and biological activity as well as application value in animal / plant production and drug development of saponins, in hoping to provide scientific reference for further understanding, research, development and utilization of saponins.

Key words: saponins, biological activity, development and utilization
