From my point of view:
1- For isolation: extract with MeOH. Defatting with diethyl ether or CH2Cl2. Fractionation of the defatted extract on Diaion HP-20 using first water then 40% MeOH, 80% MeOH and finally MeOH. Saponin rich fraction is fractionated by silica gel and RP-18 and finally by HPLC
2- Characterization: by different NMR & MS analyses
Keep in mind if you have steroidal saponins of furostanol type, the conversion of 22-OH group to its OMe derivative due to use of MeOH in the extraction and chromatographic processes
