Research and Markets: Biobased Surfactants and Detergents: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d8d822/biobased_surfactan) has announced the addition of AOCS Press's new report "Biobased Surfactants and Detergents: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications" to their offering.

“Biobased Surfactants and Detergents: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications”

Today's petroleum prices and supply issues mean more interest in biobased surfactants and detergents, which can outperform, synthetic, petroleum-derived, surfactants (biodegradability, biocompatibility, and measures of sustainability). Consumers want eco-friendly and biobased products, leading to increased use of biobased surfactants.

This new, must-have book covers biosurfactants: synthesis and applications. Contents include how to reduce manufacturing and purification costs, impurities, and by-products.

Key topics covered include:

• Biobased Surfactants: Overview and Industrial State-of-the-Art
• Biosynthesis of Rhamnolipids and Sophorolipids
• Employment of Phospholipids and Their Mimics in Biomedical Applications
• Sugar-, Polyol-, and Amino-based Lipids: Biodegradable and Biocompatible Surfactants for Foods, Health Care Products, and Pharmaceuticals
