I have powdered crude extract of a plant, completely soluble in water which is rich in saponins. I want to undergo for its phytochemical investigations using NMR. Since saponins are completely soluble in water i am expecting its presence in the prepared extract. Should i further perform column chromatography to obtain different fractions or proceed with the crude extract for NMR analysis. What will be the difference if i do so?
