Application of rhamnolipid biosurfactant for bio-detergent formulation

Abstract: Biosurfactants, also known as biological surface-active agents, are a group of surface-active agents, which are produced by a variety of microorganisms. Biosurfactants possess the characteristic property of lowering surface tension, increase the solubility of poorly soluble compound, low toxicity, non-allergenic, and biodegradable. Growing public awareness about the environmentally friendly health care and associated product has stimulated the search for eco-friendly compounds in laundry detergents. In this re… Show more

“…In another study, a rhamnolipid was applied in the formulation of a bio-detergent. The biosurfactant was effective in removing oil from stains and the formulation was comparable to commercial powders in terms of efficiency [38]. Haque et al [39] evaluated the usefulness of rhamnolipids as non-cytotoxic agents, natural antimicrobials, and antioxidants for various applications as a co-preservative in various product formulations to reduce the use of synthetic preservatives in various industrial and biomedical segments.…”

“…The detergency process occurs through the formation of micelles by surfactants that are able to form globules of impurities through a decrease in interface tension and with the help of electrostatic interactions between charges However; surface-active compounds cannot completely clean dirt from the surface without the presence of other additional compounds as support, namely builders, antiredeposition, enzymes, and other additives (Helmy, Gustiani, & Mustikawati, 2020).stated that washing results that contain only 20% active ingredient in the form of biosurfactant are visually not good enough to clean stains (mild stain can be seen visually on the fabric). It is noteworthy to say that using the biosurfactant did not affect the fabric cloth threading as indicated by the captured images of clean, soiled and washed fabric cloths.…”

“…For example, sophorolipids are the active ingredients of various cosmetics and personal care products available commercially, which shows they are biocompatible and non-toxic. Rhamnolipids and surfactin also find application in bio-detergent and lip gloss formulations as biocompatible and nonirritant biosurfactants [ [34] , [35] , [36] ].…”
