Gay, the Simsims, Sesamum angolensis Welw., S. angusti/olium Eng!. and S. orientale L., used as soap substitutes, have none of them been recorded as containing saponins although they are mucilaginous. It may therefore be useless to investigate these as possible sources of commercial saponin for fire extinguishers.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionSaponinsWaterOil productsSteam
