Résumé : |
Consumers’ increasing awareness of sustainable products that are safe for humans and that also have a reduced impact on
the environment has also been responsible for the growing demand for alternative surfactants in laundry detergents and cleaning products. However, skin tolerance, for example, should not mean that compromises have to be made with regard to the surfactants’ cleaning power. Biosurfactants from the sophorolipid group, made from natural yeast through biotechnological fermentation, offer an unrivalled combination of outstanding cleaning power, extraordinary environmental and skin compatibility, enzyme compatibility and a sustainable raw material base.
By developing a new efficient fermentation process that does not involve genetic engineering, Evonik Nutrition & Care GmbH is now able to provide sophorolipids under the brand name REWOFERM® SL 446 in commercial quantities and with a consistent quality for laundry detergents and cleaning products. REWOFERM® SL 444 has a favourable ecotoxicological profile, is completely biodegradable, and also exhibits an extremely high degree of skin tolerance and enzyme compatibility. The good cleaning power of sophorolipids, especially on grease stains, can be used in many different applications, such as liquid detergents, cleaning products for hard surfaces, and dishwashing liquid.
Consequently, sophorolipids meet the requirements for sustainable surfactants in terms of highly effective cleaning power, while still being mild to the skin and environmentally compatible. |
