DescriptionSarsasapogenin, also known as smilagenin or parigenin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Thus, sarsasapogenin is considered to be a sterol. Sarsasapogenin has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), fenugreeks (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and herbs and spices. This could make sarsasapogenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. sarsasapogenin is found in Cordyline fruticosa, Dioscorea colletii, Doryanthes palmeri, Echinopora lamellosa, Narthecium ossifragum, Radix sarsaparilla, Radix sarsaparillae, Yucca carnerosana, Yucca gloriosa and Yucca treculeana. sarsasapogenin was first documented in 2006 (PMID: 17077534). Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Sarsasapogenin.
