Abstract
In order to find out the values of the steroid resources for the future use, the compositions and contents of steroidal sapogenins from 13 domestic plants have been investigated. As a result Dioscorea nipponica, D. quinqueloba and Smilax china were found to have large amount of diosgenin. And pennogenin in Trillium kamtschaticum and Paris verticillata, yuccagenin in Allium fistulosum, hecogenin in Agave americana and neochlorogenin in Solanum nigum were appeared to be major steroidal sapogenins.
