What is the principle of vanillin-sulfuric acid assay to quantify...

Hi Afrina Zainal,
It was likely the solvent you used to extract saponins that caused the darkening of the reaction mixture after incubation. If it was the case, this article would help.

In my assays the same thing happens...when I add the acid, the mixture becomes yellow. Did you find a explanation or solution?
Thanks

Thank you Mr. Amit and Mr. Amir, coincidentally both of you share the same article. But not much information I can use from there.

It's a free radical reaction mechanism which make it complicate to specify what really happens. There is a hole method. But mostly use vanilla acid solutions. Water will be a problem led to low results.
