About Rhamnolipids
Rhamnolipids are naturally occurring glycolipids produced commercially by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa species of bacteria. There are both mono-rhamnolipids and di-rhamnolipids. Containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, they are a combination of one or two rhamnose sugars and fatty acids. Rhamnolipids function as a natural surfactant, emulsifier, foaming agent, fungicide, antibiotic, and anionic complexation agent. In a pure dry form, rhamnolipids are a white powder. In an aqueous solution they may range from clear to milky white or tan in color.
Applications
Rhamnolipids are being used in a wide range of applications.
As a surfactant or emulsifier, rhamnolipids can be used as natural “green” ingredient in cosmetics, detergents, shampoos, and soaps, as well as for environmental cleanup (Bioremediation), enhanced oil recovery (EOR), sludge removal, pesticide dispersal and wetting agent. When used as a surfactant, only low concentrations are necessary.
As a fungicide and antibiotic, rhamnolipids can be used as a pesticide, food preservative, and medical device and implant coating.
As a pharmacological agent, rhamnolipids can be used for age marks, bedsores, burn repair, wound healing, psoriasis, sun damage, and wrinkle reduction.
As an anionic complexation agent, rhamnolipid foaming can be used to remove heavy metal contaminants from soils, wastewater, and other liquids.
