In Editor - Update Material and save it to disk

It seems to be straightforward in runtime mode to update the textures of a material and save the changes to disk. However I currently try to automate setting up materials upon the import of new textures in editor mode.

Basically I am loading a material asset, update some of its textures and try to save the changes back to disk, but I don't seem to be able to find the right command for saving the changes back to the asset.

Here's my code:

 // Asset does exist, setup maps
             Material material = (Material)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guids[0]), typeof(Material));
             if (tex_name.Contains("_col"))
             {
                 material.SetTexture("_MainTex", tex);
             }
             if (tex_name.Contains("_nor"))
             {
                 material.SetTexture("_BumpMap", tex);
             }
             if (tex_name.Contains("_par"))
             {
                 material.EnableKeyword("_EMISSION");
                 material.SetTexture("_EmissionMap", tex);
             }
             // Save Updated Material to Disk                
             AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
