Glucoside from soapwort takes juice on in (7)
I believe the answer is:
saponin
'glucoside from soapwort' is the definition.
'saponin' can be an answer for 'glucoside' (saponin is a kind of glucoside). I am unsure of the 'from soapwort' bit.
'juice on in' is the wordplay.
'juice' becomes 'sap' (juice from a plant).
'sap'+'on'+'in'='SAPONIN'
'takes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for saponin that I've seen is " ingredient of detergents".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
