 Hi, Gaëtan,
If you want to determine total saponin content, you should need saponin standards as analytical reference
Best regards

Total saponin content was determined through spectrophotometry,
as described by Medina-Meza, Aluwi, Saunders, and Ganjyal
(2016). Briefly, 0.25 ml of saponin extract of each sample solution
was added to 1 ml of reagent mixture (glacial acetic acid/sulfuric acid
1:1 v/v). The mixture was vortexed and reacted at 60°C in a water
bath for 30 min and then cooled. The absorbance of the sample
was measured at a wavelength of 527 nm using a spectrophotometer
(Multiskan GO, Thermo Scientific). Oleanolic acid was used as a
standard (0–1,000 μg/ml). Total saponin content was expressed as g
100 g−1 of oleanolic acid equivalents.
