Description Defatted Madhuca flour is toxic due to the presence of saponins. Alcohol, 20-95%, was
used to remove the saponins and it was found that two stage 60% ethanol extraction
removed 90% of the saponins present in the flour. Rat feeding trials using the ethanol
extracted flour at 10 and 15% protein levels yielded PER of 0.8 and 1.5 respectively and
did not show any ill effects other than minor cytoplasmic vacuolation in liver and kidney
in histological studies.
