Alfa Chemistry supplies biosurfactants including but not limited to the followings:
| Rhamnolipid | |
|---|---|
| CAS No. | 869062-42-0 |
| Catalog | BBC869062420 |
| Biological source | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| Appearance | Solid/granular |
| Applications | Rhamnolipids (RLs) can be used in cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, environmental bioremediation, the petroleum industry, food and beverage processing, agriculture and horticulture, etc. |
| More Details | Rhamnolipids (RLs) are surface-active compounds and belong to the class of glycolipid biosurfactants, mainly produced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They have two moieties: Rhamnose (also known as glycon part) and lipid (also known as aglycon part). Rhamnose moiety is hydrophilic in nature comprising of mono or di (L)-rhamnose molecules which are linked together through α-1,2-glycosidic linkage. The lipid moiety is hydrophobic in nature and comprises of one or more saturated / unsaturated β-hydroxy fatty acids chains of C8−C24 lengths, linked together with an ester bond. |
| Trehalose | |
|---|---|
| Catalog | BBC201858 |
| Biological source | Rhodococcus erythropolis, Nocardia erythropolis |
| Appearance | White to off-white powder |
| Applications | There is a growing interest in the use of trehalose in solid dosage formulations, most notably in quick-dissolving tablets. Furthermore, trehalose has found its use in several food and cosmetic products. |
| More Details | Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide that accumulates in bacteria, algae, fungi, yeast, invertebrates, and some resurrection plants. Trehalose contains two glucose units that are linked by α, α-1, and 1-glycosidic bonds. |
| Lactonic Sophorolipid | |
|---|---|
| CAS No. | 148409-20-5 |
| Catalog | BBC148409205 |
| Biological source | Torulopsis bombicola, Candida bigoriensis |
| Appearance | Solid |
| Applications | Lactonic sophorolipids (LSLs) possess a great potential for application in areas such as: agriculture, food, biomedicine, bioremediation, cosmetics and enhanced oil recovery. |
| More Details | Lactonic sophorolipids (LSLs) are biosurfactants or biological detergents composed of a hydroxylated fatty acid and the glucose disaccharide sophorose. These commercially relevant molecules are produced by the yeast and offer a green and renewable alternative for traditional surfactants. |
| Lipopeptide | |
|---|---|
| Catalog | BBC1291651 |
| Biological source | Bacillus licheniformis |
| Appearance | Solid |
| Applications | Lipopepetides can be applied in diverse domains as food and cosmetic industries for their emulsification/de-emulsification capacity, dispersing, foaming, moisturizing, and dispersing properties. Also, they are qualified as viscosity reducers, hydrocarbon solubilizing and mobilizing agents, and metal sequestering candidates for application in environment and bioremediation. Moreover, their ability to form pores and destabilize biological membrane permits their use as antimicrobial, hemolytic, antiviral, antitumor, and insecticide agents[1]. |
| More Details | Lipopeptides (LPs) are microbial surface-active compounds produced by a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, and yeast. They are characterized by high structural diversity and have the ability to decrease the surface and interfacial tension at the surface and interface, respectively. They consist of a lipid connected to a peptide (short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds) and can self-assemble into different structures. |
