This book, volume 101 in the series Surfactant Science, details
preparation techniques of protein-based surfactants (PBS) in the laboratory
using both chemical and enzymatic means. It covers production using different
amino acids as well as possible applications in medical and personal care
products, detergents, antimicrobial agents, and foods. It will be of interest
to physical, surface, colloid, inorganic, organic, polymer, medicinal,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and analytical chemists and biochemists; chemical
engineers; materials scientist biophysicists; biotechnologists and biomaterials
specialist as well as graduate students working with biological surfactants.
Contents
An overview of the basis, technology, and surface phenomena of protein-based surfactants;
natural raw materials and enzymatic modification of agricultural by-products for protein-based surfactants;
protein interaction at interfaces; amino acid surfactants - chemistry, synthesis and properties;
enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of protein-based surfactants - amphoteric surfactants; arginine lipopeptide surfactants with
antimicrobial activity;
essentially fluorinated synthetic surfactants based on amino acids or oligopeptides;
interactions of amino acid-based surfactants with other compounds;
potential applications of protein-based surfactants;
current market developments and trends in amino acid- and protein-based surfactants.
