This study highlights the optimum conditions to extract saponins from Furcraea selloa var. marginata (Furcraea leaves) and spent tea leaves (STL) using supercritical-CO 2 (ScCO 2 ) and microwave. The bioactivity effects of saponins towards golden apple snails, Pomacea canaliculata were shown. The ex...
