Name:Sophorolipid

Trade name:Greensurf SLL;Greensurf SLA

INCI:Yeast ferment extract

Sophorolipids are a class of biosurfactants produced by the yeast Candida bombicola,it has two forms of active matters,lactone sophorolipid(ring form) and acidic sophorolipid.

It is derived from Non-petroleum,sustainable,natural based feedstock(carbon source, like glucose,sucrose,vegetable oil etc).

It is a pale yellow or dark brown liquid,water soluble.

CMC(Critical micelle concentration):2.5~5 mg/L.

Surface tension : less than 40 mN/m

Density:1.0~1.1 g/ml

Structure formula of both forms of sophorolipid.

(1)   Lactone form

(2)   Acidic form

Applications:

1. Bioremediation: Sophorolipids have been shown to be effective in removing hydrophobic pollutants from soil and water. They can enhance the biodegradation of hydrophobic compounds by increasing their solubility and bio-availability.

2. Food processing: Sophorolipids can be used as a food emulsifier, stabilizer, and foaming agent. They are safe for consumption and can replace synthetic emulsifiers that are harmful to the environment.

3. Cosmetics and personal care:With good potential in the cosmetics industry as they have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties,good cleaning,foaming performance.

        Hair cleaning:cleaning, foaming, assist in removing dandruff and care for scalp.

        Skin cleaning:face wash,hand wash,bath foam etc.

        Oral care:Tooth paste,mouth wash

        Household cleaning:laundry detergent,kitchenware cleaning.

4. Industrial cleaning

5. Oil recovery: Sophorolipids can be used to enhance oil recovery from oil wells. They can reduce the surface tension of oil, making it easier to extract.

Proposed dose in cosmetics and personal care products:0.1-5%(leave-on),0.1-40%(rinse off)
