  544. Quillaia extracts (WHO Food Additives Series 17)
Quillaia (synonyns; soapbark, soap tree bark, murillo bark, quillaia, Panama bark, Panama wood, and China bark) is the dried inner bark derived of cork of Quillaia saponaria Molina and other species of Quillaia (Rosaceae).
Quillaia extract is the aqueous extract of the above bark and contains 3 or possibly 4 triterpenoid saponins (2 major, 1 minor, 1 trace) constituting about 10% of the extract.
This finding was not considered treatment related, since incidence did not increase with level of quillaia extract fed and the total incidence of thyroid adenoma in both sexes fed 1% quillaia extract was not statistically different from the total control incidence (Drake et al., 1982).

 ISCOMs: an adjuvant with multiple functions
Quil A is a semi-purified fraction of Quillaia saponins with a standardized triterpenoid saponin content and less local toxicity than crude saponin [17, 18].
Although suitable for veterinary applications, Quil A was considered unsatisfactory for human applications because it, and other similar preparations, has been found to be a heterogenous mixture of dozens of closely related saponins [7, 19-25].
This is supported by the finding that immunization with influenza-ISCOMs required 6-10 times less Quil A to induce the same magnitude of antibody responses as influenza antigen administered with Iscom Matrix [80].
