BioActive
● Characteristics
▶ Environmental friendly detergent with high bio-degradability
▶ Atoxic detergent not harmful to human skin
▶ Skin protection due to excellent moisturizing capability
● Uses
▶ For adding to functional cosmetics(emulsifying, dissipating, anti-foaming capabilities)
▶ For detergent (special purpose detergent, high performance household detergent)
▶ For bioremediation (Maximization of processing efficiency of soil and water system contaminated by spilled oils)
● Specification

- CMC value was measured with purified biosurfactant.
- Emulsification activity was measured against hydrocarbons with crude biosurfactant at a concentration of 0.1 g/l.
- Stabilities were determined by measuring the surface tension of biosurfactant solution.
- Salt resistance were determined by measuring emulsification activit
