Rhamnolipids & HAA

Rhamnolipids

Rhamnolipids (RL) are members of the glycolipid biosurfactant family. Natural rhamnolipids of microbial origin are always produced as a mixture of various congeners or molecules with highly similar structures, functions and properties. An amphiphilic (water- and oil- loving) rhamnolipid molecule is composed of two moieties. One half is the water-loving sugar head having one or two rhamnose residues, and the oil-loving lipid tail possessing one or two fatty acid residues. The amphiphilic properties of rhamnolipids allow them to reduce interfacial tension between two substances that normally would not mix. When added to a mixture of two immiscible substances, such as water and oil, the rhamnolipids align themselves at the interface between the two substances. The rhamnose sugar moiety points towards the water while the fatty acid tail points towards the oil. When the substances are mixed the rhamnolipids allow an emulsion to form. The structural diversity of rhamnolipids is determined by the number of rhamnose (one/mono or two/di) and fatty acid (one or two) residues, and the fatty acid composition. The length of the constituent fatty acids and their combinations are largely variable, though mono-rhamnolipid Rha- C₁₀-C₁₀ and di-rhamnolipid Rha-Rha- C₁₀-C₁₀ are typically found to be the dominant components in a naturally produced mixture. Rhamnolipids are the most extensively studied, widely applicable and environmentally friendly biosurfactants, with an excellent human safety profile. Rhamnolipids may be manufactured in a variety of forms such as solid/granular, powder, paste-like/honey-like/syrup-like/wax-like and aqueous solutions.

Potential Applications of Products - HAA

3-(3-hydroxyalkanoyloxy)alkanoate (HAA) is the precursor for biosynthesis of rhamnolipids biosurfactant. HAA alone possesses all characteristics of a typical natural biosurfactant. It can be potentially applicable to all areas covered by the best studied rhamnolipid biosurfactant.

Below is a short list of important potential application for HAA.

Environmental remediation (remediation of soil and water contaminated with heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), chemical pesticide residues, etc.);
Agriculture: (1) protection and promotion of organic growers of crops, vegetables, fruits, ornamental plants and hydroponic culture by serving as biosurfactant ingredient in formulating biofungicides, (2) adjuvant for triggering the plant innate immune defense system, (3) green surfactant for formulating fertilizer and making compost, (4) feed additives formulated with green surfactant for cow, goats, chicken, pets, etc.;
Enhanced oil recovery and oil-based drilling mud formulas for off-shore drilling platform;
Personal, household and industrial cleaning products;
Cosmetic formulations such as HAA-formulated lotions and creams for use on body, hair and face;
Starting reaction substrate for bio-recycling plastic waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET);
Co-surfactant or replacement for current chemical or synthetic surfactant formulated products;
Serving as a natural surfactant and co-solubilizing agent to potentially replace the medium chain length of fatty acids (MCF) in CBD formulations;

As green biosurfactant ingredients, R95D90 and R95M90 may be used in formulations of high-end/high value cosmetic products such as face washes, body washes, shampoos, various personal care creams and lotions, etc..
As naturally-occurring surfactant ingredients, R95D90 and R95M90 are safe for humans and environmentally friendly. They may be useful as co-surfactants in an existing formula to partially or completely replace synthetic or petroleum derived surfactants. The resulting products will be greatly beneficial for human safety and health as well as for the environment.
Using R95D90 and/or R95M90 as co-surfactants in an existing cosmetic formula may possibly resolve incompatibility problems among different existing surfactants, producing surprising and synergistic benefits for a new product.
Advantages of using biosurfactant rhamnolipids over synthetic surfactants are that they can work at very low concentrations and very broad ranges of pH, temperature and salinity. Using R95D90 and/or R95M90 at low concentrations may outperform the high concentrations of synthetic surfactants in a formula. It may result in economic efficiency, while elevating the product grade and improving the product greenness and quality.
Using R95D90 and/or R95M90 may resolve the product stability, solubility, transparency and foaming problems in an existing formula.
Likewise, as excellent natural surfactant ingredients, R95D90 and/or R95M90 may display versatility in pharmaceutical formulations to replace conventional synthetic surfactants such as such as Cremophor EL, polysorbate 80, Transcutol-P, in particular formulated pharmaceutical products for topical applications.
Due to their high purity, R95D90 and R95M90 can be used as laboratory analytical standards/references for HPLC, LC-MS, MS, GC, GC-MS, NMR, etc.
